Profiler and Server Side Traces

  • Article

Profiler is a GUI based tool that runs a SQL Server trace to capture the metrics listed above as well additional data. This data can then be used to determine where your SQL Server performance issues are related to your TSQL code. Running a trace without using Profiler is known as a Server Side Trace. You can create and start the trace using TSQL commands instead of having to use the GUI.
