SQL PROFILER EVENT CLASS

  • hI

    After running profiler for 5 min , i was putting the saved file into table .when i open it showing one column event class whith appropriate numbers ex: 40,41,11,10 and so on..,

    how to exactly read it or where i get related info ...

    Becuase my applicatio is having problems with time out so need to figure out it.

    what are best practices to use SQL PROFILER ,

  • Join onto the system table trace_events:

    SELECT TE.name, T.*

    FROM trace T -- table that contains the trace results

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

  • If you are doing this on sql 2000 (some of us still use this). This script creates a temp table with the eventclass ids and names in. Left Join your trace table to this and you can display the names.

  • Thanks for the helpful tip! 🙂

    @gilamonster - For most of us these forums are not social forums, but rather a place to seek answers. Who cares if this thread was 3 years old? An alternative solution was presented, one that is the only solution presented for those still on SQL Server 2000 and provides a handy reference to the what the EventClasses mean. Keep in mind many people use Search Engines to find solutions to their questions, and do not care when the answers are posted as long as they are relevant to their situation and still work. Please do the SSC and DBA communities a favor and climb off of your High Horse.

  • I would consider it helpful to know that the link had aged 3 years.

    Not sure I understand the response to the member who added that "information".

  • I got the answer I need after the question was asked 5 years ago

  • Never lose hope bro

    am using this in 2021

  • I'm sure there are others with the same issue as me. When I assigned the id to the local administrator, everything worked great.
