CLR Event Category

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

The CLR event category includes event classes that are produced by the execution of .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) objects inside SQL Server.

Assembly Load Event Class

The Assembly Load event class occurs when a request to load an assembly is executed.

Include the Assembly Load event class in traces where you want to monitor assembly loads. This can be useful when troubleshooting a query that uses common language runtime (CLR), when troubleshooting a slow running server that is running CLR queries, or when monitoring a server to gather user, database, success, or other information about assembly loads.

Assembly Load Event Class Data Columns

Data column name Data type Description Column ID Filterable

DatabaseID int ID of the database specified by the USE database statement or the default database if no USE database statement has been issued for a given instance. SQL Server Profiler 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

EventSequence int Sequence of a given event within the request. 51 No
GroupID int ID of the workload group where the SQL Trace event fires. 66 Yes
