Newbie question regarding trace files and determining which tables are getting populated.

  • Hi, I am new to sql trace files / analyzer / profiler (but not new to SQL Server) and I'm wondering if I am looking in the right place. Quite simply I need to add records via an application (web-based app with sql back-end) and I need to see exactly which tables get hit. Is this where trace files come in? Is creating a trace file the only way to determine which tables are being populated?

    Thank you!

  • Sure, you can use Profiler to trace all / some of the database traffic. Looking initially at profiler events RPC:Completed, and SQL:BatchCompleted, read some docs about profiler (google SQL Server Profiler and you will get a ton of hits).
