Drop Table
Support Forum for database administrators and web based access to important newsgroups related to databasesHello, I want to capture the texual form of execution plan when using the perfmon utility. From what 've read I need to select the "Performance: Execution Plan". Am unable to find this particluar entry. All the other SQLServer related entries (from 'Access Methods' to 'User Settable') appear - but I cannot see anything for Performance. Is there some setting/switch that needs to be enabled before this entry appears? Cheers! SQLCatz
Post Follow-up to this messageYou can't get that from Perfmon. You need to use Profiler for that. -- Andrew J.

Post Follow-up to this messagePerfMon captures system and software performance data, but not execution plans. Use Profiler and Query Analyzer instead. Profiler: select Show Statistics Profile QA: Run set statistics profile on and your query.

Post Follow-up to this messageAre you talking about profiler.exe or perfmon.exe? AMB "SQLCatz" wrote: > Hello, > I want to capture the texual form of execution plan when using the perfmon > utility.
