In SQL Server, how to move/import a multiple .trc files to a trace table

I have a set of rollover .trc files recorded with Sql Profiler.

mytrace.trc

mytrace_1.trc

mytrace_2.trc

mytrace_3.trc

I can import the first one using this command:

use [my-database]
SELECT * INTO trace_folder
FROM::fn_trace_gettable(开发者_Python百科'C:\mytrace.trc', 4)

However, this only appears to load the first file, not all four.

You'll want to use fn_trace_gettable:

From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188425.aspx:

USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT * INTO temp_trc
FROM fn_trace_gettable('c:\temp\mytrace.trc', default);
GO

Also, a warning from the documentation:

Be aware that the fn_trace_gettable function will not load rollover files (when this option is specified by using the number_files argument) where the original trace file name ends with an underscore and a numeric value. (This does not apply to the underscore and number that are automatically appended when a file rolls over.) As a workaround, you can rename the trace files to remove the underscores in the original file name. For example, if the original file is named Trace_Oct_5.trc and the rollover file is named Trace_Oct_5_1.trc, you can rename the files to TraceOct5.trc and TraceOct5_1.trc.

From SQL 2008 BOL ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v10/MS.SQLSVR.v10.en/s10de_6tsql/html/c2590159-6ec5-4510-81ab-e935cc4216cd.htm

This was the problem I had. My Server Side Trace names are _Purpose.trc. What was I thinking when I embedded "" in teh file name :)
