Profiler and performance

I'm planning on running a profiler trace on my DW database. It will run all
night long.
My concern is how can profiler trace effect my databse performance?
Thanks.Sinke

1)Run the Profiler from another machine
2)Be careful in the data you caollect i.e specify events , and use filters,
particuarly the database(s) you wnat to capture data on. Also, you may not
want to capture data of every single event
3)Save the data to a file on your hard disk , rather than a db table

Profiler and Perfmon data side by side

What should I save in perfmon and how do I save it so that I can import it
into Profiler and compare perfmon with events in Profiler ? I have seen it
in 2005...

Save some counters in PerfMon and there si an option to import results into

Profiler and cpu percentage

Can anyone tell me if its possible to filter the results of the profiler
by the percentage of cpu being used. Using PerfMon I can see that there
are often times when the cpu on our server is using over 80% and I would
like to find out what this is.
regards,
Aaroni would think this is a matter of filtering on the start
time from profiler to match the time of the perfmon spikes

Profiler and alerts

Is there a way to set up an alert in SQL Server when a long running query
(say 30 seconds or greater) occurs in Profiler?

Profiler is just a client application. What you can do is write a
server-side trace that monitors SQL:BatchCompleted and RPC:Completed
events with a Duration >= 30,000. Have the trace write to a local file
on the SQL Server box. You can then write a recurring SQL job that
pauses the trace, looks in the trace file for any rows (using
fn_trace_gettable) and if it finds them, inserts the rows into a real
table and sends an alert using xp_sendmail or xp_logevent and
sp_add_alert. Then start up the trace again.
But there might be an easier way... We'll see what the rest of the ng
recommends.

|||This is presently a bit of a pain to do, but the new
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace library in SQL05 lets you grab sql
trace events on the fly. It's backward compatible to SQL2K too, so you could
experiment with it now for SQL2K. I'm not recommending you stick this into
production (as SQL05's still in beta) but it will at least give you a view
of what's coming up & perhaps help you make a decision on how much time you
want to spend on this presently given the emerging technology.
Here's a vb demo of how it works.
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace
Dim ts as TraceServer = new TraceServer
Dim c as ConnectionInfoBase = new SqlConnectionInfo("localhost")
c.SqlConnectionInfo.UseIntegratedSecurity = true
ts.InitializeAsReader(c, "c:\Standard.tdf")
do while reader.Read = true
'read trace info off the TraceServer's
'(reader) GetName() & GetValue() methods
loop
ts.Close
ts.Dispose
