+Debugging
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+Debugging libcephsqlite can be turned on via::
+
+    debug_cephsqlite
+
+If running the ``sqlite3`` command-line tool, use:
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+   env CEPH_ARGS='--log_to_file true --log-file sqlite3.log --debug_cephsqlite 20 --debug_ms 1' sqlite3 ...
+
+This will save all the usual Ceph debugging to a file ``sqlite3.log`` for inspection.
