CursorOpen Event Class

[!INCLUDE SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance] The CursorOpen event class describes cursor open events that occur in application programming interface (API) cursors. Cursor open events occur when the [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] defines the SQL statement to be associated with the cursor and the cursor options, and then populates the cursor.

Include the CursorOpen event class in traces that are recording the performance of cursors. When the CursorOpen 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.

CursorOpen 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 = 53. 27 No
EventSequence int Sequence of the CursorOpen event class in the batch. 51 No
GroupID int ID of the workload group where the SQL Trace event fires. 66 Yes
Handle int Integer used by ODBC, OLE DB, or DB-Library to coordinate execution with the server. 33 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
IntegerData int Cursor type. Values are:

1 = Keyset

2 = Dynamic

4 = Forward only

8 = Static

16 = Fast forward

NTDomainName nvarchar Windows domain to which the user belongs. 7 Yes
NTUserName nvarchar Windows user name. 6 Yes
RequestID int Request identifier that opened the cursor. 49 Yes
ServerName nvarchar Name of the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] being traced. 26 No
SessionLoginName nvarchar Login name of the user that 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
