SQL Server 2012 :: Query Execution Not Showing Up In Profiler Trace
Aug 22, 2014
Set up a trace with the events RPC:Completed, SQL:BatchCompleted, SQL:BatchStarting, and SQL:StmtCompleted.
When I issue the statement: SELECT * FROM XyzView there is nothing captured in Profiler. If I script out the view and then execute the select statement that defines the view, it does show up in Profiler.
I've tried adding a lot of the other events, i.e. SP:StmtCompleted and the various other StmtStarting events and the trace still does not capture anything.
Am I capturing the wrong events or is this known behavior? My goal is to see what the overhead is for using a view versus persisting the results of the view as a table and referencing that instead. The view in question is against static data, joins 9 tables, and is referenced a lot.
I can use the stats generated when I execute the select that defines the view but I still find this to be curious behavior so I assume I'm doing something wrong.

I am attempting to create a new trace but I get the following error message: "failed to start a new trace".
I have been doing some digging and as I understand it, I had to find the directory Profiler uses for temporary files. So, I typed the following in the command window "SET TMP" and I received the following reply:
C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp
Now, according to the forum: [URL] ...
I am supposed to check that the system folder pointed to by the TMP environment variable exists and is not crammed with files.
Well, when I went to the directory C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp, it is indeed full of both files and directories. The size is 16.3 MB and has 133 files and 63 folders.
When I had a look at the Environment Variables window and chose TMP the value is "%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalTemp" which according to my limited understanding is the equivalent to C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp.
So, what I am wondering is am I supposed to totally clear out this directory? I am not too keen on doing this because I don't want to stuff my PC up.

Is there a way to setup a trace to show only direct TSQL statements triggered on my server? note I don't want to capture Procedure calls or the statements called within the procs.
Actually many people are firing direct SQL statements on server. And some are coming from entity framework as well. I just want to capture those.

We have some Deadlock alerts set up in SQL Agent that email us when the performance counter for deadlocks goes above zero. I've used the following script to identify the event file which has deadlock information in there.
select CAST(target_data as xml) as TargetData
from sys.dm_xe_session_targets st
join sys.dm_xe_sessions s on s.address = st.event_session_address
where name = 'system_health'
Now that is fine, and we're looking into that (number of deadlocks appear to be 0.5) but out of interest ran a SQL Profiler session to capture the details as well and nothing is showing, I've received a few alerts and the trace file has information in there - but profiler shows absolutely nothing (all deadlock events are captured)

I am trying to load all the MDX queries that run on a Analysis Server instance into a database for further analysis. A SQL Profiler is setup which captures the MDX queries, and when I am loading the Profiler info to database, some of the queries are not coming up in full length.The TextData field doestn't show full MDX query. When loading to the database, the field is next data type. Is there any workaround to get the complete MDX query?Â

Hi
We have two servers each running SQL7. I cannot run a trace on one server from the other. Whatever server name I enter in the drop down box, the trace only records activity on the server that profiler is running on. Even if I put a non-existent server name in the box (!), the trace accepts the name but still only runs on the host server.
Any explanations please.
Keith

Someone Please Help!
How on earth can a Profile Trace be run where SSE 2005 is installed??? In the past, with MSDE, we always installed the 'tools' on a local workstation, so that we had EnterPrise Manager and its suite of tools...no problem. Yet, with Management Studio Express (err...Distress?), there's no way to do this! I've scoured the net, and I see threads where people have done it, yet, no one seems to be clear...including Microsoft...on how to obtain this MOST IMPORTANT of all tools for an SQL deployment.
Please Help! Someone...Anyone!...Thank You!...Michael

This is for SQL Server 2005 SP4 Build 5266. We have been having performance issues in production. There are tight deadlines to be met and it is important that they are solved promptly.
Yesterday we replicated the situation in the acceptance testing environment. The jobs take 8 hours to run and we started at 2:00 PM.
Just before the jobs ran I set up an SQL Server Profiler trace to catch processes with a duration of longer then 12 seconds. I set it to save the results to a database table.
Last night I checked the table at 5:00 PM and there were entries in the table. However, I could be mistaken.
At 9:00 PM I checked the table and it was empty.
This morning I arrived at work and checked SQL Server Profiler. The trace was running and within SQL Server Profiler, there are 100s of results. I stopped the trace. However, checking the table, it is empty.
I thought I would be able to save the trace results to a file. When I chose "Save As" from the file menu, all the options are greyed out (trace file, trace template, trace table, etc).
The results are there but there is no way of saving them and no way of exporting them. How could this have happened?
Is there a location, where SQL Server Profiler saves the results in a temporary space. I may be able to open them and retrieve them. How can I save the results? Why are all my options greyed out?

Hi All,
I am going over the output of a Profiler trace and I've found that the duration for many occurrences of EventClass 15 (Logout) is several seconds, up to a maximum of 20 seconds. That seems excessive just to complete a logout, so my question is, does the duration figure reflect only the time to complete the logout operation or does it include the total time that the connection has been active for?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Anyone can tell me how I can take out the events which produce SSMS? (open query windows create three rows). I don't see anythinq filter for SSMS in filter events of profiler. I'm doing at trace and this is not confortable.
Thanks.

I want to save every query executed from a given software, let's say Multi Script for example, and save in a table query text, execution time and rows count among other possible useful information. Right now I've created a sp and a job that runs every 1 milliseconds but I can't figure out how to get execution time and rows count. Another problem with this is that if the query takes too long I end up with several rows in my table.

If a table has a trigger on it, and I am profiling.. on StmtCompleted... no filters... all teh stored proc code comes up, but, is there any way at all to see the same for trigger statements? I want to trace thru the proc and thru all trigger code also. Any ideas on work-around to trace trigger code, if Profiler can't do it? Thanks, Bruce

Hi,
Could anyne help me on which options in Profiler could be used to trace the bind variables in DML?
Given a table, X (col1 number, col2 varchar(10)), where col1 is primary key.
Example DML statements:
1) insert into X values (@parameter1, @parameter2)
2) update X set col2 = @parameter2 where col1 = @parameter1
3) delete X where col1 = @parameter1
where @parameter1 and @parameter2 are bind variables.
Can Profiler be configured to log the actual values of @parameter1 and @parameter2 in the example statements in trace log?
Thanks a lot.

Can anyone provide with an example of how to script a profiler trace to have the data wind up in a SQL Table. The scripting mechnism that comes with SQL Server will not allow you to put the results in a table.
Thanks

I've set the Duration of my trace to "Greater than or Equal to: 1000". However when I start my trace the Duration column is now empty. Prior to the setting, there were values showing in this column. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have discovered trace output in MSSQLDATAMSSQL.1MSSQLLOG that I have not kicked off. It is at various times and limited to 20MB. So that tells me a server event is kicking off a pre-defined trace. The trace contains mostly hash warnings and sort warnings.
I have looked through my Agent Jobs, Agent Alerts, and perfmon and don't find anything that is set up to kick off a trace under a specified condition.
I have checked the job activity, SQL error logs, SQL server logs, and the server's event viewer for any odd events or event times that correlate with the times of the traces.
I have checked each database's sys.sql_modules for a definition containing '%sp_trace%'.
Where else can I check to find what would be triggering these traces?
Our app logins don't have permissions high enough to run traces, I verified:
You do not have permission to run 'SP_TRACE_CREATE'
I am the DBA, not a .NET programmer -- so I am lacking experience if there's anything on the .NET side.
This is SQL 2005 64-bit running active/passive on a Win2003 clustered pair.

With SQL Server 2005 there is an option to grant a person access to Profiler for tracing SQL. This is done with the "GRANT ALTER TRACE" statement. The statement has to be executed at server level i.e. the master database.
The user in question only has access to certain databases on that server. The security problem that arises is that with the Profiler rights active, he can see the sql commands that are executed on the databases he has no rights for. Those SQL commands are executed by others users.
How do I configure security rules so that the person in question can use Profiler, but can only see the SQL statements that are executed on the databases he has the rights for? TIA!

which have a lot of impact to database performace since it do not fit onto memory and spill over to disks.
The question is when i ran a profiler and tried to catch a sort warning i cannot find the query which cause the alert.

Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
Thanks

I have same query but when executed from different server use different plan. when it runs on QA box it is faster and when it runs on PRD it is slow.
Is it possible to force SQL Server to use QA plan by giving a hint?

Somehow someone turned on a audit on the sql server and it is filling up our hard drive and shutting down sql server eventually. Been trying to google how to shut this audit off but coming up with no via soolution yet. how can I turn this trace off. Each fiel says AuditTrace and date and they happen every other minute. I went into the sql profiler and can pull up the files but how to shut the trace off, it does not say.

know if there is any way out to run execution plan for parameterized queries?
As application is sending queries which are mostly parameterized in nature and values being used are very robust in nature, So i can not even make a guess.

I'm trying to get the execution plan for a single stored procedurefrom Profiler. Now, I've isolated the procedure but I get allexecution plans. Any ideas on how to connect the SPIDs so that I onlyget the execution plan for the procedure I'm watching and not thewhole of the server?

I am upgrading my application's SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2012.
As discussed in the below URL I am able to see the Identity jump after I upgrade and the server is restarted.
Now since I cannot afford this and at this moment I do not have the time to create a sequence with NOCACHE and test it again I have to go ahead and add trace flag 272 in the start up parameter as this is the only solution which I can implement and even rollback without much hassles.
[URL] ....
What I got to know, this flag will disable the new feature of IDENTITY property that has been implemented as part of SQL Server 2012 and will make it work like it was doing in SQL Server 2008 R2.
But I want to know implementing this flag would impact any other feature or performance (except the performance of IDENTITY) of SQL Server.

So I have two steps in my job that check conditions and call RAISERROR to gracefully complete the job if those conditions are met (meaning I only want the final step to run in a specific situation). Works great, except for some reason my messages are not making it into the log. It is appending the SQLSTATE, and a default error instead of anything that I'm putting into RAISERROR.

Is it possible to check query execution plan of a store procedure from create script (before creating it)?
Basically the developers want to know how a newly developed procedure will perform in production environment. Now, I don't want to create it in production for just checking the execution plan. However they've provided SQL script for the procedure. Now wondering is there any way to look at the execution plan for this procedure from the script provided?

Hi,
When looking in the server trace in query analyzer – I can see how many ‘reads’ a stored procedure does.
So I'm wondering if we can determine whether our query is good or bad by looking at the number of reads/writes that showing in the Trace.
Thanks in advance
