                                            | Hello,I'm new to ClearTrace and have a question...We use a lot of inline SQL code where I work, and I'm using ClearTrace to try to find poorly performing queries. The top consumer of CPU is sp_execute. No surprise there. I see a lot of SQL statements beginning with "{PREPARED}" which relates to this somehow I'm guessing, but doesn't seem to be an exact one-to-one match.Is ClearTrace able to give me individual performance stats for all of the SQL statements that are run by sp_execute?Will looking at the Statement level instead of the Batch level fill in the holes?Thanks for your help. |  |

                                          | Looking at statements will help. However it should handle sp_execute properly too.  The {prepared} is because something used sp_prepare or sp_prepexec.  That is usually parameterized SQL from ODBC.=================================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.  One crisis at a time. |

                                          | I figured out what you were referring to :)The answer is ... sort of.  If you "sp_execute 'select * from table'" that won't get tagged as a {prepared}.  If yousp_prepare "select * from table" as statement #1.sp_execute #1sp_unprepare #1that will probably get tagged with {prepare}.  I'd have to wade through the code to be sure but I think that's what happens.=================================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.  One crisis at a time. |
