Profiler reads..what are they? howthey compare to sec/reads

  • I heard the reads column in profiler is the Number of logical read I/Os.

    So how does that relate to Disk sec/reads?

    For example

    1)in my fantasy DB where a query/session has 10,000.000 reads and hardly any CPU writes etc.

    2)I have an average Disk sec/reads of 0.02 for the period

    3)So my execution time is (10,000,000*0.02)/60 = 3333 seconds?

    So if my disk/reads where 0.01 the execution time would be 1666?

    Is this completely rubbish?

  • I wouldn't get too hung on trying to correlate the two, but the events are showing pages read. A 1 is one page. 2, etc. are more pages. I don't know that the Disk Reads/sec is pages, although I think it is. But it's going to include OS pages, tempdb, all kinds of stuff that you're not going to see directly in a given RPC:Complete set of reads, so getting a direct correlation could make you nuts.

  • Thanks was just trying to get some mental representation of what difference Disk sec/reads makes apart from the usual 0.02 is poor
