Profiler - Column Filter problem

  • I have a server side trace running, and now want to utilize it to track down some data changes.

    I go into Trace File properties -> Column Filters -> and set TEXTDATA LIKE 'MyField'

    When I rerun it, I get results of changes I made earlier with an update statement. Good

    Then I do TEXTDATA LIKE 'StoredProcedure_Name' of a stored procedure that updates the field, I get results, but TextData is blank in the results. The results are of a developer's Query Analyzer session, and she's not running that SP.

    Why would I get results with blank TEXTDATA when I'm entering a specific value ?

    If I set TEXTDATA like Update MyTable, I get a mix of valid rows, and more rows with blank TEXTDATA

    What am I doing wrong (this time !)

  • Try adding % before and after the proc name.

    Also, sometime I find after typing the filter I have to press otherwise the profiler doesnt apply the filter! Strange!!!
