SQL Profiler without sa rights

  • Is it possible to grant a user without sa privelage to use SQL Profiler trace on SQL 2000?

    If so how?

  • I don't think so.

    btw I wouldn't advise it at a production box because profiler can generate

    a huge overhead !

    Actually I consider traces one way of getting in contact with the dev-teams

    and with what they are producing.

    And that is not always a negative event !:w00t:

  • It's not possible of SQL 2000. To use profiler, you must have sysadmin rights
