What Is Profiler in Sql

SQL Server Profiler is an interface to create and manage traces and analyze and replay trace results. Events are saved in a trace file that can later be analyzed or used to replay a specific series of steps when diagnosing a problem. SQL Trace and SQL Server Profiler are deprecated.

How do I start SQL Profiler?

  1. Click on Tools.
  2. Click on SQL Server Profiler.
  3. Connect to the server on which we need to perform profiling.
  4. On the Trace Properties window, under General tab, select the blank template.
  5. On the Events Selection tab, select Deadlock graph under Locks leaf.

What replaces SQL Server Profiler?

XE will replace the SQL Profiler in the future versions. By the moment, SQL Server includes Profiler and XE. The XEs is a feature included in SQL Server 2008.
