Is there any tool that will inspect either asp.net or sql server and report

  • 0

Is there any tool that will inspect either asp.net or sql server and report all the queries that are run against the database? The reason I ask is I am using Linq for a project and want to double check what its actually doing for each page.

Ideally I’d like to view a page in a browser and have a report of all the queries that were run to create that page.

I know I can view the SQL it runs for individual queries using debugging/breakpoints, and I know about LinqPad, but I’m afraid Linq is making several more queries on its own to get related data that I may not be directly aware of. Is there anything (tool/program/report/etc) like what I described? Thanks!

EDIT: Is there any FREE tool that can do this? I am using Sql Server 2008 Express and don’t have SQL Profiler unfortunately.

    Absolutely, There is a SQL tool called SQL Profiler. It does require elevated database permissions in order to run profiler.

    There is a decent tutorial on how to run Profiler on TechRepublic.

    Another option out there is the NHibernate Profiler. I know that it is not as “free” as SQL Profiler, have never used it, but the screen shots for it look pretty cool.
