| in that case - the profiler needs to run in the backend for the duration of time (let's say a week) that we want to check the tables activity.Does it consumes performance from the server while it runs?Does it save its results to some file or something we can later inquire? |

| i would normally try and run it from a remote server where possible and you can have the results save to a file or to even to a table for you to query later. look at the different filters available to narrow down what you're looking for tooEm |
