DBCC TRACEON & Startup Parameter

  • Is there any difference in enabling trace flag using DBCC TRACEON globally using -1 and enabling trace flag as startup parameter using -T?

  • DBCC TRACEON would need to be manually re-run after a server restart. If you use the startup parameters of the service then it will automatically have that flag set every time. The functionality would be the same though.

    Thanks Chris. I had this in mind and tested the same but i forgot that i have added then as startup so even after restarted i found the trace flags still there.:-D:-D:-D:-P
