Description:
This video provides a great overview of the various Events (also called "Event Classes") and how the Data Columns work. You'll also see how to choose the various options and how to group columns in Profiler for easier navigation over large traces. You can significantly impact your trace's "drag" on your SQL Server by wisely choosing your events, data columns, and filters when you start your trace. This video walks you through the Event Classes (and makes suggestions as to which to use for what purpose), what common Data Columns are used (and what are Data Columns anyway?), and gives you several creative ideas for doing your own traces.
Highlights from this video:
- New Events in SQL Server 2005
- How templates affect your events and columns
- Tracing for performance tuning
- Tracing errors
- What's the difference between "Profiler" and a "trace"?
and much more
