Profiler for SQL Server Express by AnjLab

I needed a tool to profile the performance of Entity Framework and LINQ to Entities for a recent project.  I wanted to see whether or not I was truly getting optimized data access performance.  My project was using SQL Express for the database server so I couldn’t simply use the standard SQL Profiler.

I stumbled across this free Profiler for SQL Express 2005/2008 by AnjLab.  It appears to have all the power of Microsoft’s Profiler for SQL Server but is completely free and works with SQL Express.  I was able to achieve the performance analysis I needed for the project and was so impressed I made a donation.

Thanks AnjLab!
