Topic link iconTransact-SQL Syntax Conventions

Syntax

sp_trace_generateevent [ @eventid = ] event_id 
     [ , [ @userinfo= ] 'user_info' ]
     [ , [ @userdata= ] user_data ]

Arguments

  • [ @eventid=] event_id
    Is the ID of the event to turn on. event_id is int, with no default. The ID must be one of the event numbers from 82 through 91, which represent user-defined events as set with sp_trace_setevent.

  • [ @userinfo= ] 'user_info'
    Is the optional user-defined string identifying the reason for the event. user_info is nvarchar(128), with a default of NULL.

  • [ @userdata= ] user_data
    Is the optional user-specified data for the event. user_data is varbinary(8000), with a default of NULL.

Return Code Values

The following table describes the code values that users may get following completion of the stored procedure.

Return code

Description

0

No error.

1

Unknown error.

3

The specified event is not valid. The event may not exist or it is not an appropriate one for the store procedure.

13

Out of memory. Returned when there is not enough memory to perform the specified action.

Remarks

sp_trace_generateevent is a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that performs many of the actions previously executed by xp_trace_* extended stored procedures available in earlier versions of SQL Server. Use sp_trace_generateevent instead of xp_trace_generate_event.

Only ID numbers of user-defined events may be used with sp_trace_generateevent. SQL Server will raise an error if other event ID numbers are used.

Parameters of all SQL Trace stored procedures (sp_trace_xx) are strictly typed. If these parameters are not called with the correct input parameter data types, as specified in the argument description, the stored procedure will return an error.

Permissions

User must have ALTER TRACE permission.

Examples

The following example creates a user-configurable event on a sample table.

--Create a sample table.
CREATE TABLE user_config_test(col1 int, col2 char(10))

--DROP the trigger if it already exists.
IF EXISTS
   (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'userconfig_trg')
   DROP TRIGGER userconfig_trg

--Create an ON INSERT trigger on the sample table.
CREATE TRIGGER userconfig_trg
   ON user_config_test FOR INSERT
AS
EXEC master..sp_trace_generateevent
   @event_class = 82, @userinfo = N'Inserted row into user_config_test'

--When an insert action happens, the user-configurable event fires. If 
you were capturing the event id=82, you will see it in the Profiler output.
INSERT INTO user_config_test VALUES(1, 'abc')
