These titles seem to be getting repetitive. I updated ClearTrace [http://www.cleardata.biz/cleartrace/default.aspx] again. I'm also back to using a ClickOnce installer. Unfortunately if you switch from an unsigned to a signed ClickOnce installation the existing people can't upgrade. How annoying! That…
I've been updating ClearTrace [http://www.cleardata.biz/cleartrace/default.aspx] for a while now and there's a new version available. I stopped using ClickOnce and switched to an installer. If you're interested in analyzing trace files and summarizing the performance of your SQL…

I released ClearTrace 2.0.9. You can find the information here [http://www.cleardata.biz/cleartrace/default.aspx]. I moved the download to my corporate site so I can keep a static page up for information. I'm pretty happy with this version. It seems to be very…
