    Hi,

    I ran a Trace using profiler n saved as a file,and later to analyze I saved trace file as a table.

    I queried that table to get max duration. My question is the duration in profiler is showing up as 10813 where as in query editor results it showing as 10813330.

    could you plz help out from this problem.

    thanx

    There is nothing wrong happening with your sql instance; in sql 2005, the query duration is reported in microseconds (it was milliseconds in sql 2000) However, the profiler is still doing a translation somewhere on the way between server-side traces (traces saved to table for example) and GUI (query execution of profiler GUI). To be more clear, duration values have to be read differently for server-side traces than GUI.

    10813 is in milliseconds... 10813330 is in microseconds... divide micoseconds by 1000 to get milliseconds.

    The profiler Gui will show duration in either milliseconds or microseconds, depending how the option is set (tools -> Options) However it will store the duration as microseconds and, if saved into a table, will store the duration as microseconds, regardless of the option setting.

    Gary: query editor in 2005? Are you refering to the output of Statistics Time? Or something else?

    Statistics time outputs in milliseconds. Microseconds would be 'us'. (iirc)

    SQL Server Execution Times:

    CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 180 ms.
