Author Start a trace from T-sql
Stijn Verrept

I've already searched google groups for this and found
xp_trace_addnewqueue
to do it. However that procedure doesn't seem to
exist in my master database. How is this possible? I checked on
multiple servers?

How can I start a trace to a trace file and have endtime included?


Thanks in advance,

Stijn Verrept.

The procedure you are referring to is for SQL Server 7.0 I think.

There is a different set of procedures in SQL Server 2000. You can find them
here:

You can also find my wrapper stored procedures at the above link.

Hi,

One other useful way to script a trace is setup a Profiler trace (with
endtime), run and pause the trace then choose File, Script trace from the
Profiler menu.

Voila - you have a script that can be run (after a few changes). You should
modify @maxfilesize and second and third parameters (rollover? and file
location/name).
