store showplan_all output

  • Does anyone know a good way to store the data that showplan_all generates into a database table? I would like to create some way to automate the generation of plans for all my stored procedures.

    Thanks,

    kevkaz

  • You can do so by running the queries from the front end e.g. vb 6.0.

    How I did was :

    1)Connected to the database of my choice.

    2)Executed the statement set showplan_on on the database.

    3)Then executed the stored procedure whose execution plan I need to store.

    4) This statement would return two recordsets.

    5)I set the pointer to the 2nd recordset and loop through it's records

    6)Here I get the execution plan.

    Tell me if this has helped u.

    I would be happy to submit you the code 🙂

  • Addendum

    The code will not function properly if the stored procedures refers any temporary tables (#).
