SP:CacheHit Event Class

The SP:CacheHit event class indicates that a stored procedure is in the plan cache.

Note

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.
