CursorRecompile Event Class

[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance FabricSQLDB] The CursorRecompile event class describes cursor recompile events that occur in application programming interface (API) cursors. Cursor recompile events occur when the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssDE] recompiles a Transact-SQL cursor due to a schema change.

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

CursorRecompile Event Class Data Columns

Data column name	Data type	Description	Column ID	Filterable
ApplicationName	nvarchar	Name of the client application that created the connection to an instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. This column is populated with the values passed by the application rather than the displayed name of the program.	10	Yes
ClientProcessID	int	ID assigned by the host computer to the process where the client application is running. This data column is populated if the client provides the client process ID.	9	Yes
DatabaseID	int	ID of the database specified by the USE database statement or the default database if no USE databasestatement has been issued for a given instance. [!INCLUDEssSqlProfiler] displays the name of the database if the ServerName data column is captured in the trace and the server is available. Determine the value for a database by using the DB_ID function.	3	Yes
DatabaseName	nvarchar	Name of the database in which the user statement is running.	35	Yes
EventClass	int	Type of event recorded = 75.	27	No
EventSequence	int	Sequence of CursorRecompile event class in batch.	51	No
GroupID	int	ID of the workload group where the SQL Trace event fires.	66	Yes
HostName	nvarchar	Name of the computer on which the client is running. This data column is populated if the client provides the host name. To determine the host name, use the HOST_NAME function.	8	Yes

NTUserName	nvarchar	Windows user name.	6	Yes
RequestID	int	Request identifier that recompiled the cursor.	49	Yes
ServerName	nvarchar	Name of the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] being traced.	26	No
SessionLoginName	nvarchar	Login name of the user who originated the session. For example, if you connect to [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] using Login1 and execute a statement as Login2, SessionLoginName shows Login1 and LoginName shows Login2. This column displays both [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] and Windows logins.	64	Yes
SPID	int	ID of the session on which the event occurred.	12	Yes
StartTime	datetime	Time at which the event started, if available.	14	Yes
