Where is the SQL Profiler on my SQL Server 2008?

I downloaded SQL Server 2008 and cannot find SQL Profiler anywhere.

I assume that I have installed SQL Server Enterprise Express / Trial?

I assume it was Express, not Enterprise in the end?

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

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

then you can add it simply to the management studio:

Tools → External Tools ... →

a- find the exe file on your disk (if it is installed, usually it is: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ ExpressProfiler \ ExpressProfiler.exe)

b- indicate the name, for example. Express profiler

what is it :) you have your profiler with your sql express release

Management Studio-> Tools-> SQL Server Profiler.

If it is not installed, see this link.

Also make sure that “client tools” are selected in the installation settings. However, if SQL Managment Studio 2008 exists, most likely you have installed the express version.
