title: SQL: How can I get the number of executed queries per database or hour or ...?
body: <p>Is there any way to see how many queries are executed in like every hour, or per database / hour, or average number of queries on a day, or ...whatever is interesting?</p>
  
  <p>Just for statistics.. I like numbers.
  I can't just start a trace with Sql Server Profiler, because the UI will crash when too many queries come by.</p>
  
  <p>Does SQL keep track of some basic 'executed queries statistics' somewhere, or are there any tools I can use to get this information?</p>
  
  <p><sub>(I use SQL Server 2008 R2)</sub></p>
