The format isn't publicly available. Why do you need them?

If you want to read the log file, you'll have to contact Microsoft for a license.

What you want could be easily achieved using a trace, logging it's results. To a textfile or some other database. Google for "Sql Trace" and you should find some interesting results, even from CodeProject Smile | :)

To do this you need to implement an AUDITING strategy, this generally involves triggers (spit) and an audit table. Do some research on database Auditing.

Creating a trace is also possible for Sql Express.

You can't always expect a solution to your problem to be handed to you. Google is one of the best resources for finding answers to programming questions.

If you don't get the answer you are looking for, restructure your Google key words until you get an answer that will work for you.

Basically it's the best way to learn anyway, by doing it yourself.

~~You're right.~~

A trace logs all actions. I'm not sure why you keep insisting that it won't work.

There are quite some examples on the internet; some are based on Sql-statements, others on SMO. It's your turn to do some research Smile | :)

I have create App. and trace everything in SQL but I cannot trace SP and ... that will call from C#.
I mean when i call SP in C# it doesnt trace.

Not quite everything; stored procedures have their own trave_event, specifically SP:StmtStarting (44) and SP:StmtCompleted (45). A complete list of events can be found here[^].

I have use this for SP:

SQL

declare @TraceId int
           -- create the trace
           exec sp_trace_create @TraceId output, 0, N'C:\Temp\SQLLog'
           -- set event and columns to trace
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 12, 1, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 12, 6, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 13, 1, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 13, 6, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 12, 13, 1

           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 12, 13, 1

           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 44, 10, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 44, 13, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 44, 14, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 44, 15, 1

           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 35, 1
          exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 10, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 13, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 14, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 15, 1
            exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 1, 1
           exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceId, 45, 6, 1

           -- start the trace
           exec sp_trace_setstatus @TraceId, 1
           -- check status for our trace
           select value from fn_trace_getinfo(@TraceId) where property in (2, 5)
           go

and in C#

sb = new StringBuilder();
                            sb.AppendLine("\nEventClass: " + ts.GetString(ts.GetOrdinal("EventClass")));
                            sb.AppendLine("NTUserName: " + ts.GetString(ts.GetOrdinal("NTUserName")));
                            sb.AppendLine("Command : " + ts.GetString(ts.GetOrdinal("TextData")));

I have done about 90 percent:

but when i run any SP in SQL Management it returns exactly the SP witch have exec in LOG like bellow :

SQL

INSERT INTO tblGroups
                      (GroupName, GroupFatherId)
VALUES     ('Friends',1)

SQL

DECLARE	@return_value int

EXEC	@return_value = [dbo].[InsertGroups]
		@GroupName = N'ali joon',
		@GroupFatherId = 1

SELECT	'Return Value' = @return_value

But when i run SP in C# it only return the <big>SP Code</big>.like bellow:

SQL

INSERT INTO tblGroups
                      (GroupName, GroupFatherId)
VALUES     (@GroupName,@GroupFatherId)

<big>But i wanna to have this also :</big>

SQL

INSERT INTO tblGroups
                      (GroupName, GroupFatherId)
VALUES     ('Friends',1)

SQL

DECLARE	@return_value int

EXEC	@return_value = [dbo].[InsertGroups]
		@GroupName = N'ali joon',
		@GroupFatherId = 1

SELECT	'Return Value' = @return_value

You do realize that we're volunteers here?

I know that Sql-profiler can see the parameters, I assume that they're also there for a trace. I don't have an answer ready for this question.

See If Stored Proc Returns Data

Kevin Marois3-May-12 11:51

3-May-12 11:51

I need to check hundreds of sprocs to see if they return data. So, I need to know if the proc

[] Returns a dataset
[] Returns a scalar
[] Runs some other type of command (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)

Is it possble to determine this in SQL? Can SQL tell me the result of the query?

Everything makes sense in someone's mind
