Where is SQL Profiler in my SQL Server 2008?


SQL Server Express does not come with profiler, but you can use SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Profiler instead.


first get the profiler Exe from: http://expressprofiler.codeplex.com

then you can add it simply to the Management studio:

Tools -> External tools... ->

a- locate the exe file on your disk (If installed, it's typically C:\Program Files (x86)\ExpressProfiler\ExpressProfiler.exe)

b- give it a name e.g. Express Profiler

that's it :)you have your Profiler with your sql express edition
