Where is SQL Profiler in my SQL Server 2008?

Question

I downloaded SQL Server 2008 and can't seem to find SQL Profiler anywhere.

I believe I installed the SQL Server Enterprise Express/trial version?

I guess it was Express and not Enterprise after all right?

Answer 1

SQL Server Express does not come with profiler, but you can use this instead.

Answer 2

Also ensure that "client tools" are selected in the install options. However if SQL Managment Studio 2008 exists then it is likely that you installed the express edition.

Answer 3

Management Studio->Tools->SQL Server Profiler.
