Maybe this is because I'm running both instance and profiler locally, or perhaps because I also have a full developer version SQL Server 2008 installed? Any hints or answers would be appreciated, I would hate to configure my new (upcoming) server with the Web edition, and then find out that I was unable to use the Profiler (which is the only reason I would choose Standard instead of Web edition). I installed SQL Server 2014 Express edition on my workstation, including the SQL Profiler, and was able to connect the profiler to the instance and run traces without any apparent problems. This download includes SQL Management Studio. Server Standard and SQL Server Enterprise editions.

SQL Server Express with Advanced Services can be profiled using SQL SQL Server Web, SQL Server Express, SQL Server Express with Tools, and It says "No", but with this cryptic note: I read here that full text search is supported by the 2014 express edi. I was hoping to try out the full-text search features. But then I read the edition/feature overview page: I've installed SQL Server 2014 Express edition, with advanced services. I'm a bit confused as to whether or not it is possible to use the SQL Profiler on the Web/Express edition of SQL Server.įrom what I've read so far people generally say "No - it was removed in SQL Server 2012/2014".
