Thanks for the tool for SQL Express, was gonna try out this method but the free profiler might be better.

However the drawback is that one must stop and re-start sql service….One cannot do that in PROD! huh?
One should resort instead to DMOs

Thanks for the link to the Profiler replacement tool. Not everyone is allowed to download and run tools to their desktops these days, but for those that still have the necessary rights to do so that tool should work nicely.

And yes, they could run a server side trace and then use TSQL to read from a file. Thanks for presenting a second option.
