Showplan XML for Query Compile Event Class
Applies to: 
SQL Server
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Managed Instance
The Showplan XML For Query Compile event class occurs when Microsoft SQL Server compiles a SQL statement. Include this event class to identify the Showplan operators on Microsoft SQL Server.
The Showplan XML For Query Compile event class displays complete, compile time data, so traces that contain this event class can incur significant performance overhead. To minimize this, limit use of this event class to traces that monitor specific problems for brief periods of time.
The Showplan XML documents have a schema associated with them. This schema can be found at the Microsoft Web Site, or as part of your SQL Server installation.
Showplan XML for Query Compile Event Class Data Columns
| Data column name | Data type | Description | Column ID | Filterable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ApplicationName | nvarchar | Name of the client application that created the connection to an instance of SQL Server. This column is populated with the values passed by the application rather than the displayed name of the program. | 10 | Yes |

| ClientProcessID | int | ID assigned by the host computer to the process where the client application is running. This data column is populated if the client process ID is provided by the client. | 9 | Yes |
| DatabaseID | int | ID of the database specified by the USE database statement or the default database if no USE databasestatement 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 |

| Event Class | int | Type of Event = 168. | 27 | No |
| EventSequence | int | Sequence of a given event within the request. | 51 | No |
| HostName | nvarchar | Name of the computer on which the client is running. This data column is populated if the host name is provided by the client. To determine the host name, use the HOST_NAME function. | 8 | Yes |
| IntegerData | int | Estimated number of rows returned. | 25 | Yes |

| NestLevel | int | Integer representing the data returned by @@NESTLEVEL. | 29 | Yes |
| NTDomainName | nvarchar | Windows domain to which the user belongs. | 7 | Yes |
| NTUserName | nvarchar | Windows user name. | 6 | Yes |
| ObjectID | int | System-assigned ID of the object. | 22 | Yes |
| ObjectName | nvarchar | The name of the object being referenced. | 34 | Yes |

| RequestID | int | ID of the request containing the statement. | 49 | Yes |
| ServerName | nvarchar | Name of the instance of SQL Server being traced. | 26 | No |
| SessionLoginName | nvarchar | Login name of the user who originated the session.
