Trackster writes "For SQL Server 2000, WinXP Pro:

I have a custom App, can't access the source code & therefore can't alter the app except by working with the backend db. The app issues a select query for a particular user action. No procedures, no insert, no update, no delete - I checked with Profiler. The Select is my only "hook" to increase functionality.

My method is to save results from a profile trace to a table in the db, then trigger off that table. It works, but it's round-about & not robust because it is easy to turn off the trace.

I tried scripting the trace - extra question - is there a way to script it to save to a table? Profiler wouldn't script saving to a table.

And is there a better way for me to accomplish this, via a trigger direct from the select query maybe?"

There is no SELECT event for a Trigger..

Having profiler on all the time is not a good idea...resources, the fact that someone can (and will) turn it off (because it's not a good idea)

And script the trace to a file and bcp it in to a table if you want to use it...


But you don't mention what you're trying to extend?

What is it about a SELECT that would cause some event to "fire"
