Hi All

On my production database i need to put the pro-filer to trace the events related to intermittent slow during business hours.

My concerns here is to which shouldn't slow the server performance because of profiler on production server and which are events should i consider in the profile.?

The duration column is milliseconds. 1000 ms =1 second.

In the SQL Profiler GUI, it's in milliseconds. However, if you were to store the results into a file or table, the value would be in microseconds.
