Hi All,
I opened sql server 2008 profiler
Click on the File--->New trace and then
Connect to the data base

Trace properties window opened,in the Events Selection tab under stored procedures event category i didn't find "SP:ExecContextHit" event.

How can i find this event or isn't available in 2008 profiler?

Thanks...

Quoting from MSDN:
Beginning in SQL Server 2005, SP:CacheHit replaces SP:ExecContextHit, which was used in SQL Server 2000 to indicate that a stored procedure was found in the cache. In later versions of SQL Server, users can expect to see SP:CacheHit in their traces instead of SP:ExecContextHit.

Editing: Clicking on that link takes you to the 2012 page. Copy and paste that URL and it will take you to the 2008 page.

As "SP:ExecContextHit" this event indicates additional time/resources to locate execution plan in the cache.

if cachehit replace ExecContextHit then how can we distinguish these two cases?

1.Fully qualified data base object name(identify the Plan directly from cache)
2.Unqualified data base object name(identify the Plan with additional time/resource from cache)

Thanks...

The EventSubClass column (see the same page I referred to earlier) distinguishes between execution context hit and compiled plan hit. I don't know the details of what each of these represents though.
