Attached you'll find a version I use for quick and dirty CPR-trace 😉

ALZDBA the version you posted has all the CrLf stripped out, making it difficult to test, since we have to reformat manually; can you edit it or repaste it?

You need to change the file extention !

(just remove the .txt and keep the .SQL)

If you then open it with ssms, it will be formatted OK.

(I downloaded it from this thread, removed the .txt and it appeared ok in SSMS)

Hello,

I want to profile and write to a table.

But in the script generated by the profiler, in the export funcionality, the following code is written:

-- Writing to a table is not supported through the SP's

Do you know some way to enable the trace without using the profiler, save the data in tables, instead of in files? I really prefer to save in tables.

Thanks in advance

DBA Cabuloso

DBA Cabuloso (7/10/2009)Do you know some way to enable the trace without using the profiler, save the data in tables, instead of in files? I really prefer to save in tables.

That's where the

SELECT * INTO temp_trc

FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('d:\trace\mytrace.trc', default)

comes in play... reading the trace files after the fact and that way you can also insert them into a table for analysis.

Sounds easy.

But i was unable to script it.

I went to file menu and then opened file and went to script file.

It is not working.

Best to start a new thread really.

Have you started and stopped the trace before attempting to script it?

I am sorry I can start a new thread.

To answer your question:

Yes, I have started and stopped the profiler trace before scripting it.

Perry,

thank you so much for this code. This is exactly what I was looking for. You mentioned that I can schedule it on the same server I am running the trace against. Is there any way to schedule to run the trace from a different server? Thank you so much!
