tracing SQL server Instance.

  •  

    Hi Friends,

    We get frequent complaint from the Users that the application ( 3rd party application, on which we do not have any code accessability). We need to trace the SQL server instance for a day or two to get all the SQLs executed with  the execution plan with cost of execution ( like cpu time, io time , buffer/block gets etc), so that we can identify badly performing SQLs  and try to tune or ask the vendor to rewrite the  SQLs.  Any suggestions on how to get this  tracing done are more than welcome.

    Thanks a lot

    Jay

  • Jay,

    have a look in BOL for 'monitoring server performance, tools'.

    The main ones for your purposes will probably be SQL Profiler and Windows Performance Monitor, but the above link will point you towards the comprehensive list out of the box.

    There are also 3rd party tools to do this type of analysis (eg Quest software) but for now I'd recommend you start with the standard ones.

    Rgds,
