Profiler Setting !!!!

  • Hi,

    I am not very much aware to profiler. the problem is that sometimes Quality people come to me and ask that they are running new functionality on application, please see which Sps are taking longer time so can any one tell me which events i need to select so that only SPs details i can get on profiler nothing else ?

    I work only to learn Sql Server...though my company pays me for getting their stuff done;-)

  • There is column filter - you can filter out the trace for particular session id- SPID.

    Check the check box - exclude rows that do not contain values.

  • Bhuvnesh first, create a server side trace; it's actually a very low impact on the server, but can provide you with exactly what you are looking for, as well as aid in fingerpointing that inevitably comes up (who deleted from the Customers table?!?!)

    compared to profiler, which is pretty resource intensive, a server trace is definitely better.

    Personally I think that just like the default trace to track DDL changes, there should also be a default DML trace to track data changes as well. It should/is a best practice to have a DML trace to help examine performance and have some auditing features in place.

    I'm providing the code which creates a trace, and also a VIEW to look at the trace(sp_MyTrace );

    then, with the view in place(starting with sp_...to take advantage of all sp_objects existing in master, but accessible in all databases)

    you can use a query like this to examine perforance on any statement in the entire server:

    --look at the The columns duration,Reads,Writes,CPU,RowCounts for performance

    select * from sp_MyTrace where DataBaseName = 'master' --a specific database

    and TextData like '%sp_who%' --like your procedure

    here is my sql...read it over then run it.
