Note to all SO beginner:

Please read (and embrace!) Jon Skeet's helpful hints on how to write a good question (or at least his short version here ) - one that has a chance that someone can answer it.


A Pascal/Delphi programmer and database freak at heart, I work as a C# developer on line-of-business applications (mostly ASP.NET).

I'm interested mostly in distributed systems (WCF), database (design and SQL), and Active Directory.


I'm an MCPD .NET 4 Web Developer, MCPD .NET 4 Windows Developer, MCPD Enterprise Application Developer (.NET 3.5), and MCTS for WCF, ADO.NET, Winforms and ASP.NET.

comment Server side trace to database
@BorisCallens: dumping into trace files IS the preferred way to go! This puts less load on your (production) server than writing directly into the database. Dump the trace into files, and then go grab those files onto your local test environment, and analyse them there! Put as little load as possible on your production machines...

@BuddhiP: this is definitely different from vendor to vendor. My response is only for Microsoft SQL Server

comment Does SQL Server place shared locks on scanned records when using REPEATABLE READ
@BuddhiP: no - the locks will only be placed on those rows that actually match your UPDATE's WHERE criteria. Only those rows are "scanned" and then updated. Otherwise, you'd be locking the whole table all the time, no??

comment Server side trace to database
@BorisCallens: I don't think the SQL Server Central thingie is a paywall - you just need to register (for free). Also: all those articles show how to use the SQL Profiler to define a SQL Server trace - this is really the same thing - you're just not running the trace "live" using SQL Profiler, but you have SQL Server run it as a "server task", so to speak.
