CursorPrepare Event Class

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

The CursorPrepare event class describes cursor prepare events that occur in application programming interface (API) cursors. Cursor prepare events occur when the Microsoft Database Engine compiles a SELECT statement associated with a cursor into an execution plan but does not create the cursor.

Include the CursorPrepare event class in traces that are recording the performance of cursors. When the CursorPrepare event class is included in a trace, the amount of overhead incurred will depend on how frequently cursors are used against the database during the trace. If cursors are used extensively, the trace may significantly impede performance.
