OLEDB Errors Event Class

The OLEDB Errors event class occurs in Microsoft SQL Server when a call to an OLE DB provider returns an error. Include this event class in traces to view a failed HRESULT from an OLE DB provider.

When the OLEDB Errors event class is included in a trace, the amount of overhead depends on how frequently OLE DB provider errors occur against the database during the trace. If such errors occur frequently, the trace might significantly impede performance.
