I am investigating some performance issue.

I am using SQL Profiler. But worried if it will add time to what I am timing. Does anyone know how I can determine or estimate this?

I heard a Server Side Trace is less time consuming than SQL Profiler. Can anyone inform me how to do set this up or provide a link?

You need to read my chapter in Tribal SQL book as this is what I cover plus more!

Here are some basic best practices from my blog:
