I'm trying to create a lookup table that contains all event class numbers/names so I can use it to join to profiler trace output (in table form).I can then group by the event_name etc as when the trace is saved to table it only saves the event_class number.
Any idea where I might get a complete list of events/numbers that I can use to populate the aforementioned lookup table !?
any words of wisdom gratefully received

Thank you Steve!!!!
The insert statement for events will be helpful.
Do you happen to know what rights in SQL Server 2008 do you need in order to run server traces if you are not a sysadmin? Do you think VIEW SERVER STATE on the server and DBO on the DBs will be enough? I can test / research, but if you know, please share.
