Monitoring Database Queries in the Profiler (or something)

Hello. Thanks for the response, but it seems I wasn't too clear on my question.

I understand how to use the profiler, but I have my doubts as to its scope if it is initialized in the Controller. I understand that this is practically the first thing executed, but in reality it isn't. I would like to enable the profiler substantially earlier, like the index.php file, and terminate it there as well. Of course, not sure how to display it properly, but I can always push it to a file if needed.

However, my real concern is how to monitor the Database connections. Any thoughts on that?
