It is irritating, sometimes alarming, for the user to be confronted by the 'deadlock message' when a deadlock happens. It can be a tiresome business to prevent them from occurring in applications. Fortunately, the profiler can be used to help DBAs identify how deadlocking problems happen, and indicate the best way of minimising the likelihood of their reappearance.

Profiler is a tool that monitors the events and activity running on a SQL Server. Using profiler, this monitoring can be viewed, saved, and replayed. This article focuses on using Profiler with SQL Server 2005, but the tool is also included with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2008.

SQL Server 2005's default trace is great for monitoring system information and for finding out what happened on your server after problems occur. However, there are times when the events that the default captures are not what you need. Here are instructions for how you can create your own trace files in TSQL to catch events on your database machine.
