[sql-server] Where is SQL Profiler in my SQL Server 2008?

I downloaded SQL Server 2008 and can't seem to find SQL Profiler anywhere.

I believe I installed the SQL Server Enterprise Express/trial version?

I guess it was Express and not Enterprise after all right?

first get the profiler Exe from: http://expressprofiler.codeplex.com

then you can add it simply to the Management studio:

Tools -> External tools... ->

a- locate the exe file on your disk (If installed, it's typically C:\Program Files (x86)\ExpressProfiler\ExpressProfiler.exe)

b- give it a name e.g. Express Profiler

that's it :) you have your Profiler with your sql express edition

Another very basic free profiler: http://expressprofiler.codeplex.com

Management Studio->Tools->SQL Server Profiler.

If it is not installed see this link

Also ensure that "client tools" are selected in the install options. However if SQL Managment Studio 2008 exists then it is likely that you installed the express edition.
