Question

I need to investigate a series of blocks and deadlocks that have been occurring randomly on our SQL 2008 server. I am the main developer on the site and do not have a DBA to lean on...

I am planning on using the Blocked Process Report in 2005 and enabling a trace.

What performace issues can I expect? The DB server is for a website with moderate traffic and I want to minimize the impact the trace will cause.

Was it helpful?

Solution

use Event Notification method. it works in 2005 and 2008. it doesn't present any perf problem for detecting deadlocks
