  • very nice post. i was trying to write something similar to yours but was stuck on how to get the archived trace file locations.

    I have few suggestions. i don't think this part is correct

    INNER JOIN sys.trace_subclass_values sv

    ON tr.eventclass = sv.trace_event_id

    -- i think we have to use tr.EventSubClass instead of tr.objectType

    AND tr.ObjectType = sv.subclass_value

    -- can not join like this, objects can be from any database and sys.objects is local to each database

    LEFT JOIN sys.objects o

    ON tr.ObjectID = o.OBJECT_ID

    -- to overcome the last problem. I created a temp table that has dbname,objectname,objectid and populated this table with all objects from all databases. then joined on dbname and objectid to get objectname

  • Hi unaur,

    Can you post your code?

    Thanks.

  • wow that six year old article i wrote is just yucky.

    this is how i read any current, live trace right now. hope this helps.

    i used to actually put this into views , one for each trace. i'm trying to lean more towards extended evnets now.

    --SELECT * from sys.traces

    declare @TraceIDToReview int

    declare @path varchar(255)

    SET @TraceIDToReview = 1 --this is the trace you want to review!

    SELECT @path = path from sys.traces WHERE id = @TraceIDToReview

    SELECT

    TE.name As EventClassDescrip,

    v.subclass_name As EventSubClassDescrip,

    T.*

    FROM ::fn_trace_gettable(@path, default) T

    LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.trace_events TE ON T.EventClass = TE.trace_event_id

    LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.trace_subclass_values V

    ON T.EventClass = V.trace_event_id AND T.EventSubClass = V.subclass_value

  • Thnx Folks...

    Thanks.

  • Wow - amazing how these old threads come back to life sometimes 😉
