SQL Server中使用扩展事件捕捉所需的信息后，可以选择存放的位置。比如说内存或文件中，但无论存在哪里，其本质都是一个大XML。因此在SQL Server中读取该XML就是解析扩展事件结果的方式。
微软官方或者一些SQL Server论坛提供了使用SQL XML解析扩展事件的脚本，如代码清单1所示。
1: WITH events_cte
2: AS ( SELECT DATEADD(mi,
3: DATEDIFF(mi, GETUTCDATE(), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),
4: xevents.event_data.value('(event/@timestamp)[1]',
5: 'datetime2')) AS [event time] ,
6: xevents.event_data.value('(event/@name)[1]',
7: 'nvarchar(128)') AS [Event Name],
8: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="client_app_name"]/value)[1]',
9: 'nvarchar(128)') AS [client app name] ,
10: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="client_hostname"]/value)[1]',
11: 'nvarchar(max)') AS [client host name] ,
12: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="sql_text"]/value)[1]',
13: 'nvarchar(max)') AS [sql_text] ,
14:
15: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="database_name"]/value)[1]',
16: 'nvarchar(max)') AS [database name] ,
17: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="username"]/value)[1]',
18: 'nvarchar(max)') AS [username] ,
19: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="duration"]/value)[1]',
20: 'bigint') AS [duration (ms)] ,
21: xevents.event_data.value('(event/action[@name="cpu_time"]/value)[1]',
22: 'bigint') AS [cpu time (ms)] ,
23: xevents.event_data.value('(event/data[@name="object_name"]/value)[1]',
24: 'nvarchar(max)') AS [OBJECT_NAME]
25: FROM sys.fn_xe_file_target_read_file('D:\XeventResutl\DDLAudit*.xel',
26: NULL, NULL, NULL)
27: CROSS APPLY ( SELECT CAST(event_data AS XML) AS event_data
28: ) AS xevents
29: )
30: SELECT *
31: FROM events_cte
32: ORDER BY [event time] DESC;代码清单1.读取扩展事件文件的脚本
但代码清单1的脚本使用的是XQuery，XQuery在使用Xml的节点属性作为删选条件时，数据上千以后就会变得非常慢。因此我对上述脚本进行了改写，将XML读取出来后，变为节点的集合以关系数据格式存放，再用子查询进行筛选，这种方式读取数据基本上是秒出，如代码清单2所示。
