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

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.
im trying to understand how the profiler works. so i started 2profilers,one listen to another and I saw the profiler is running:exec sp_trace_create @P1 output, 1, NULL, NULL, NULLwhich means @tracefile = NULLso where from the profiler read the results?!

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

What causes SQL Profiler to show "SQL Profiler Trace Skipped Records"?
SQL2005 SP2 64bit
Thanks.
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.
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
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
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!
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
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.
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?
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 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 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

HERE IS WHAT I THINK WHATS GOING ON
First SPID 40 requests a Exclusive lock on the row(key) of table PSlock which is granted by the dB where he is running ‘ Grant sp_execute statement’ !!!
Then SPID 41 request a Shared lock on the table Pslock which is granted by the db where spid 40 is running “ Sp_cursorfetch statement”
Now we have two lock on Pslock table , one by spid 40 with an exculsive lock and other by spid 41 with shared lock.
then spid 40 requests a ‘Schema- mod’ lock on Pslock table which I guess is a table lock
and we have have a dead lock situation here
is the above explanation right ?????

sql server was using a lot of the cpu so I ran a trace.
Now i see the results and there are lines with high cpu number with textdata NULL and AppicationName Internet Information Services
how can i figure out what this is?
I need to find any stored procedures that have not been used over a certain time period.
I have set up an extended events session to gather sp_statement_starting and _completed.
The trace returns the object_id's of many stored procedures. I then query the sys.procedures and plug in the object_id to return the stored proc name.
Do I have to repeat this process for every different object_id or is there a way I can query the trace results, using the object_id as my search criteria as one query ?
Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....

Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

Hi
Im working on SQL Server management Studio with SQL Server 2005.
If I run the following script, which is being generated by the scrip option of my machine, I'm getting this error. I just can't understand the reason beyond this.
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [PK_Employee_EmployeeID] ON [HumanResources].[Employee] ([EmployeeID] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '('.
And if I remove the second line and ececute,it is working fine as follows.
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [PK_Employee_EmployeeID] ON [HumanResources].[Employee] ([EmployeeID] ASC)
--WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Command(s) completed successfully.
Can anyone help me in predicting the reason beyond this??
Thanks
