    Instead of running XML queries against the server, a relatively high process event, I'd output the Extended Events to a file, then you can read that file from another server and never impact your production machine in any way. That approach makes a lot more sense to me.

    I've been up to my eyes with work and they only have SQL Server 2005 so I haven't even broken the surface on Extended Events. That explains my apparent shock and mortification when I say "REALLY!!!! They screwed EE up with XML???" :sick:

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
