Note: Although this question probably does not fit in with SO's usual programming questions, out of StackOverflow, ServerFault, SuperUser and Programmer's Exchange, only SO has any questions that make mention of this software, which is why I decided to post here. I used to use Anjlab's open source SQL Profiler tool, and found it to be invaluable.
Mar 6, 2018 - To run traces like SQL Server Profiler, even with AnjLab's replacement, you still need server-side permissions to run it. AnjLab Sql Profiler je. Datawizard SQL Profiler (ex. AnjLab SQL Profiler) takes profiling beyond the database. Instantly trace SQL performance across servers, apps, users, and connections. It provides standard profiling tools plus advanced features such as Performance Dashboard and Application Dashboard.
Unfortunately, it looks like the software has been converted to a paid version, with the all access to the open source version completely removed. Since this software is mentioned several times in questions here on SO, I was wondering if anyone still has a copy of the old, free, open source version and would be willing to share it? Here is a simple alternative if you need just a monitoring tool for queries: I hope it won't disappear soon. I'm currently using it with SQL Server Express 2012 to monitor queries form my NHibernate applications (didn't want to add log4net just for this purpose and show_sql outputs only to console window which I don't have in my WCF service). Really nice and stable utility. I find it much easier to use than MS SQL Profiler which needs various settings, trace profiles for various server versions and what not.
Express Profiler - just launch, hit Run, and all the T-SQL and sp_execute queries are displayed. It's open source, you can add even more features if you wish.
I guess, Clear button would be useful because now you have to Stop and Run again to clear the list.
• • • • • If you work with SQL, you understand the importance of being able to, not to mention how critical it is to have an of how long queries take. Today, we’ll take a look at SQL Server Profiler, a tool for doing just that, how it works, some shortcomings (most notably, depreciation of its features), and alternatives. What is an SQL Server Profiler? An SQL server profiler is a tool for tracing, recreating, and troubleshooting problems in MS SQL Server, Microsoft’s Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). The profiler lets developers and Database Administrators (DBAs) create and handle traces and replay and analyze trace results. In a nutshell, it’s like a dashboard that shows the health of an instance of MS SQL Server.
While it’s a robust tool, many features are being deprecated by Microsoft. This is happening because most developers and DBAs feel a server side trace is a more robust option. How SQL Server Profiler Works It works by giving DBAs and developers a high-level view of the operation of a system. Users create traces to capture data and monitor errors and other problems. They then use the profiler to store, retrieve, and view the results of many traces graphically for purposes of troubleshooting and repair. This function all happens on the client-side, meaning it uses resources on the same machine it’s monitoring. To: • From the Start menu, Click on All Programs.
• Go to Microsoft SQL Server 2016. • Go to Performance Tools.
• Click on SQL Server Profiler. Benefits Below is a short list of the benefits of this tool to both developers and Database Administrators (DBAs). For a complete list, reference. It can reveal how an instance works when it’s interacting with a client. • Troubleshoot problems. It can help zero in on trouble spots by allowing us to capture and replay key events.
This function also helps with stress testing and identifying slowly executing queries. • Allow non-administrator users to create traces securely. It can cater to the needs of DBAs, developers, database designers, business intelligence specialists, IT professionals, and even accountants. • Compare activity to baselines.
It lets users save trace data and compare it to newer data to spotlight new trouble spots. • Capture traces for Transact-SQL, SSIS, and Analysis Services. Alternative Profiler Tools Though popular, it’s not the only way to trace and monitor an SQL server. The following alternatives perform a similar function. • Prefix. Zoids new century zero episodes. One of the great things you can do with is view SQL queries for insights that aren’t just accurate but also in context.
