Remarks

fn_trace_geteventinfo is a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 built-in function that performs many of the actions previously executed by extended stored procedures available in earlier versions of SQL Server. Use fn_trace_geteventinfo instead of:

• xp_trace_geteventclassrequired
  
  
• xp_trace_getqueuecreateinfo
  
  
• xp_trace_getqueueproperties

To obtain information previously returned by the xp_trace_geteventclassrequired, for example, execute a query in the following form:

SELECT *
FROM ::fn_trace_geteventinfo(trace_id)
WHERE EventID= 'x'
