Saving a SQL Server Profiler Trace

This video shows you how to save a sql server profiler trace and reuse it at a later time.

I have been working with SQL Server since 1999 and have worked with versions 6.5 - 2005. I have experience in VB 6 and .NET (ASP.NET, VB.NET, C#). I currently work as a Software Developer for New Tribes Mission (www.ntm.org)

not including 50% about profiler

Pretty basic stuff, but nicely done!

Dan Feiling on 11/5/2008

to basic 101 if someone doesnt know how to do what is in the video, they have no business having access required to do so.

Jeff Lovett on 11/5/2008

how about a few advanced options - things like stopping the trace at a preset date and time so that it does not fill the drive that is storing the trace file.

A482609282, Thanks for the comment. This is one video of a series that covers most of profiler. To cover all of profiler in the 2-4 minutes that videos on this site are planned for is not possible which is why there is a series.

Dan, Thanks for the comment. Again this is a 100 level video for those who are new to SQL Server. If you can't find a video here that helps you use the Suggest a Video link on the top and someone will try to get the video done that you need.

Jack Corbett on 11/6/2008

Jeff, Thanks for watching. If you check out the "Explaining the properties window in SQL Server Profiler" video in the series, I do discuss setting a trace stop time. If that does not meet your need please you the Suggest a Video link and someone will try to meet your need.

Would like another video to be more in depth but this one was great to get started using the profiler.

If video seen in full-screen mode, the video was blur and it was hurting my eyes. In normal (Web-page) mode, I could barely see anything b'cos the font size was small

It would be excelent, if u had posted the script. This is a request. Thanks,

Venkata Taduri on 2/24/2009

Good. Very basic.

Tonci on 9/21/2009

Great!

Ravi on 4/26/2010

nice

Jack Corbett on 4/28/2010

Thanks for the comments. Cindy, If you could post a suggestion using the SUggest a Video link with a specific request I could probably get something posted for you. Bharathi, There really wasn't any script to post. Unless you mean the activity generating scripts, but those were really simple selects in loops.

Short and concise.

Rod on 4/20/2011

Great information here! I didn't know you could do these things, with SQL Profiler.

Vamsi on 4/20/2011

good

Leonard Peoples on 4/20/2011

Helpful. Thanks.

The volume is way to low. I had to crank up my pc's volume all the way up.

Dean Gross on 4/21/2011

would have been better if there was some discussion about why we should use the various options for saving. Describing the pros/cons for each option is always helpful.

Steve Harris on 4/26/2011

Would you select specific events? What events would be good in certain situations?

charles Russell on 5/3/2011

kind of blurry, hard to see text

James Brown on 5/3/2011

Would have been more useful if it contained introductory material on what a trace is and why one would want to use it, or refer to previous video if this has already been covered.

Robert Johnson on 5/4/2011

Audio was barely audible for this video.

ravi on 5/11/2011

good one

Russell Todd on 5/15/2011

templates are not explained

Very good information.
