SQL Server Profiler and Yellow Backgrounded Cells

Question

When viewing returned data in SQL Profiler, some cells appear with a yellowish background and others with a white background. Empty BinaryData fields all seem to appear this way but some TextData field that contain commands such as 'exec sp_reset_connection' also show this behavior.

Does anyone have an idea what the yellow means and if that same criteria that causes the background to turn yellow can be accessed through trace filters?

Answer 1

The yellow background means for TextData appears to mean that the text in the cell has been derived from a value in another column - most likely BinaryData.

There are some circumstances where the values in TextData derived in this way can be incorrect.
