CursorPrepare Event Class

The

event class describes cursor prepare events that occur in application

programming interface (API) cursors. Cursor prepare events occur when the Microsoft

Database Engine compiles a SELECT statement associated with a cursor into an execution plan

but does not create the cursor.

Include the

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

When the

event class is included in a trace, the amount of overhead incurred

will depend on how frequently cursors are used against the database during the trace. If

cursors are used extensively, the trace may significantly impede performance.
