profiler and showplan

I turn on profiler Performance/Execution Plan, and expect to see the
plan in the textdata field - but it's not there.
Is there some event class or other field or something that must also
be included that I've missed?
Thanks.
JoshWhich SQL profiler template have you selected? One of the template (standard
)
displays TextData field.
Thanks

I am capturing/displaying the textdata field, but it's empty on the
showplan lines, and in the statement lines I still see just the
statements. I used the SQLProfilerStandard template, and one of my
own, didn't seem to matter. I added all the TSQL events, that didn't
help either.

Wait a minute. I changed the template to capture BinaryData field,
and sure enough, now I got the Showplan tree - in the TextData field!
So I removed the BinaryData field, and now I *still* get the Showplan
tree in the TextData field. Even after I exit and restart Profiler!
Is this some weird bug in SQL2K, that you have to first ask for the
BinaryData, then you can stop asking for it, to get the Showplan tree?
Weird.
But it worked, so thanks!
Josh|||That IS weird. When I remove the binary data column I don't get the showplan
anymore.

But when you get it, is it in the binary or text field?|||JXStern wrote:

Execution Plan only requires TextData. Show Plan, if I'm not mistaken,
requires BinaryData.
