+## Diagnostics channel
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+The `node:sqlite` module publishes SQL trace events on the
+[`diagnostics_channel`][] channel `sqlite.db.query`. This allows subscribers
+to observe every SQL statement executed against any `DatabaseSync` instance
+without modifying the database code itself. Tracing is zero-cost when there
+are no subscribers.
+
+### Channel `sqlite.db.query`
+
+The message published to this channel is a {string} containing the expanded
+SQL with bound parameter values substituted. If expansion fails, the source
+SQL with unsubstituted placeholders is used instead.
+
+```cjs
+const dc = require('node:diagnostics_channel');
+const { DatabaseSync } = require('node:sqlite');
+
+function onQuery(sql) {
+  console.log(sql);
+}
+
+dc.subscribe('sqlite.db.query', onQuery);
+
+const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:');
+db.exec('CREATE TABLE t (x INTEGER)');
+// Logs: CREATE TABLE t (x INTEGER)
+
+const stmt = db.prepare('INSERT INTO t VALUES (?)');
+stmt.run(42);
+// Logs: INSERT INTO t VALUES (42.0)
+
+dc.unsubscribe('sqlite.db.query', onQuery);
+```
+
+```mjs
+import dc from 'node:diagnostics_channel';
+import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite';
+
+function onQuery(sql) {
+  console.log(sql);
+}
+
+dc.subscribe('sqlite.db.query', onQuery);
+
+const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:');
+db.exec('CREATE TABLE t (x INTEGER)');
+// Logs: CREATE TABLE t (x INTEGER)
+
+const stmt = db.prepare('INSERT INTO t VALUES (?)');
+stmt.run(42);
+// Logs: INSERT INTO t VALUES (42.0)
