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.
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

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?!

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
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?
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

hi all..
i have 2 tbl..
-- Prepare sample data
DECLARE@tbl1 TABLE (box varchar(10), loc varchar(5) )
INSERT@tbl1
SELECT'P1', 'aa' UNION ALL
SELECT'P1', 'bb' UNION ALL
SELECT'P1', 'aa' UNION ALL
SELECT'P3', 'cc'
DECLARE@tbl2 TABLE (box varchar(10), loc varchar(5) )
INSERT@tbl2
SELECT'P1', 'aa' UNION ALL
SELECT'P3', 'cc'
--expected result
SELECT 'P1' as box, 'aa' as Location, 'aa' as HeaderLoc UNION ALL
SELECT 'P1' as box, 'bb' as Location, 'aa' as HeaderLoc
how do i trace from @tbl1, that has 1 Box with more than 1 Location?
in this case P1 has 2 distinct location (aa & bb).. and left join in the loc from @tbl2 just to retrieve the loc for that box..

I've looked high and low for information regarding this problem to no avail. Profiler works fine from the local server where SQL7 is running,
(using NT security). But even though my client is multiprotocol, I cannot connect from my desktop using SQL security (ODBC error) or NT
authentication. NT security gives me ConnectionOpenRcpBindingSetAuthInfo(). I do have a valid id on the NT machine as well and am not
getting any errors in the security events log.
Can/How do you connect remotely to the profiler using TCP/IP or Mulitprotocol client?
Why doesn't NT authentication work?
Thanks in advance for any help.
