From another thread that gave me the information on how to add monitoring to an SQL Server...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3586736/see-sql-from-entityframework-with-collection-like-queries
This works well, but I want to take it a step further. I'd like to be able to add comments into the log when Transactions are happening.
I want to be able to write comments into things, though, that will go into the SQL Logging. So like, I can do a query, and call in Debugger.Logger.Write("Some kind of comment") so I know what is what. I do not know SQL very well, so I am trying to understand what is being run, and where.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I presume I would have to run another SQL query to 'insert' the comment into the query stream.
I design my data context (DbContext)
using(var context = new SampleDataContext(dbModel))
{
// ...
// prepare a logging model.
if (Debugger.SetupLog(context))
Console.WriteLine("Logging Enabled...");
// open up the debugger log
Debugger.Open();
}
public class SampleDataContext: DbContext, IDisposable
{
public new void Dispose()
{
Debugger.Log(this);
base.Dispose();
}
}
Then the Debugger class..
public static class Debugger
{
public static System.IO.TextWriter File
{
get;
set;
}
public static void Open()
{
// open a file for storing SQL results from queries
File = new System.IO.StreamWriter("results.sql", false);
}
public static void Write(string text)
{
File.WriteLine(text);
}
public static bool Log(SampleDataContext context)
{
var results = context.Database.Connection.CreateCommand();
results.CommandText = Sql.Review;
context.Database.Connection.Open();
System.Data.Common.DbDataReader resultsReader;
do
{
resultsReader = results.ExecuteReader();
}
while (resultsReader == null);
Console.WriteLine("Discovered a Data Reader");
// Retrieves the schema of the table.
var dtSchema = resultsReader.GetSchemaTable();
string strRow; // represents a full row
// Reads the rows one by one from the SqlDataReader
// transfers them to a string with the given separator character and
// writes it to the file.
while (resultsReader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine("Reading Data Reader... ");
strRow = "";
for (int i = 0; i < resultsReader.FieldCount; i++)
{
strRow += resultsReader.GetValue(i).ToString();
if (i < resultsReader.FieldCount - 1)
{
strRow += " ";
}
}
Sql.Text.Lexer lexer = new Sql.Text.Lexer();
lexer.Enscribe();
var matches = lexer.Tokenize(strRow);
matches.ForEach(x =>
{
strRow = strRow.Replace(x.Value, Environment.NewLine);
});
File.WriteLine(strRow);
}
File.Close();
context.Database.Connection.Close();
return false;
}
public static bool SetupLog(SampleDataContext context)
{
var command = context.Database.Connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = Sql.Record;
context.Database.Connection.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
context.Database.Connection.Close();
return true;
}
}
I basically have inserted the following SQL into a Resource in C#...
This is "Project.SQL.Record".
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.server_event_sessions WHERE name='test_trace')
DROP EVENT SESSION [test_trace] ON SERVER;
CREATE EVENT SESSION [test_trace]
ON SERVER
ADD EVENT sqlserver.sp_statement_completed(
ACTION (package0.callstack, sqlserver.session_id, sqlserver.sql_text)
-- WHERE (([sqlserver].[username]='Domain\Username'))
),
ADD EVENT sqlserver.sql_statement_completed(
ACTION (package0.callstack, sqlserver.session_id, sqlserver.sql_text)
--WHERE (([sqlserver].[username]='Domain\Username'))
)
ADD TARGET package0.ring_buffer
WITH (MAX_MEMORY = 4096KB, EVENT_RETENTION_MODE = ALLOW_SINGLE_EVENT_LOSS,
MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY = 1 SECONDS, MAX_EVENT_SIZE = 0KB,
MEMORY_PARTITION_MODE = NONE, TRACK_CAUSALITY = OFF, STARTUP_STATE = OFF)
ALTER EVENT SESSION [test_trace] ON SERVER STATE = START
Then I have another one, "Project.SQL.Review".
DECLARE
@session_name VARCHAR(200) = 'test_trace'
SELECT
pivoted_data.*
FROM
(
SELECT MIN(event_name) AS event_name,
MIN(event_timestamp) AS event_timestamp,
unique_event_id,
CONVERT ( BIGINT, MIN (
CASE
WHEN d_name = 'cpu'
AND d_package IS NULL
THEN d_value
END ) ) AS [cpu],
CONVERT ( BIGINT, MIN (
CASE

AND d_package IS NULL

CONVERT ( BIGINT, MIN (

CONVERT ( INT, MIN (

CONVERT ( DECIMAL(28,0), MIN (
CASE
WHEN d_name = 'reads'
AND d_package IS NULL
THEN d_value
END ) ) AS [reads],
CONVERT ( VARCHAR(MAX), MIN (

END ) ) AS [session_id],
CONVERT ( INT, MIN (

AND d_package IS NULL
THEN d_value
END ) ) AS [source_database_id],
CAST((SELECT CONVERT ( VARCHAR(MAX), MIN (
CASE

AND d_package IS NOT NULL
THEN d_value
END ) ) AS [processing-instruction(x)] FOR XML PATH('') ) AS XML) AS [sql_text],
CONVERT ( DECIMAL(28,0), MIN (
CASE
WHEN d_name = 'writes'
AND d_package IS NULL
THEN d_value
END ) ) AS [writes]
FROM
(
SELECT
*,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(400), NULL) AS attach_activity_id
FROM
(
SELECT
event.value('(@name)[1]', 'VARCHAR(400)') as event_name,
event.value('(@timestamp)[1]', 'DATETIME') as event_timestamp,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY event) AS unique_event_id,
n.value('(@name)[1]', 'VARCHAR(400)') AS d_name,
n.value('(@package)[1]', 'VARCHAR(400)') AS d_package,
n.value('((value)[1]/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') AS d_value,
n.value('((text)[1]/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') AS d_text
FROM
(
SELECT
(
SELECT
CONVERT(xml, target_data)
FROM sys.dm_xe_session_targets st
JOIN sys.dm_xe_sessions s ON
s.address = st.event_session_address
WHERE
s.name = @session_name
AND st.target_name = 'ring_buffer'
) AS [x]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
) AS the_xml(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('//event') e (event)
CROSS APPLY event.nodes('*') AS q (n)
) AS data_data
) AS activity_data
GROUP BY
unique_event_id
) AS pivoted_data;
My first thought was to make a method like this..
public static void WriteSql(SampleDataContext context, string text)
{
var command = context.Database.Connection.CreateCommand();
command.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@Comment",System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar));
command.Parameters["@Comment"].Value = String.Format("--{0}", text);
command.CommandText = String.Format("PRINT '{0}'", text.Replace("'", "''"));
context.Database.Connection.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
context.Database.Connection.Close();
}
It should execute the comment like a query, which should show up in the Review, right? Well, that didn't work. So I'm open to other ideas...
