SQL Inspector Overview
The SQL Inspector identifies SQL statements with performance problems by extracting SQL statements and SQL performance statistics from the database. With the Add Inspector window, you can create an Inspector, select which approach to use, and specify your retrieval criteria and timeframe for capturing the SQL statements.

The SQL Inspector data directory is where the data files are created while executing the Inspect function. The data directory path is set in the Options window.
