I have a software system which queries data via OLEDB from an external SQL Server 2005. The query request is sent every 15 minutes. I want to verify that the SQL Server is receiving the query requests. How can I?

Create a SQL Trace (server-side) and capture the SQL:StmtCompleted event. You can filter on the TextData column to ensure you're only getting the query that you are looking to ensure is happening.

The easiest way to create a server-side trace would be to create it in SQL Server Profiler (which is innately a client-side trace), do a quick start and stop and script out the trace definition and run it in SSMS. Please see this TechNet reference on Server-Side Tracing and Collection for an exhaustive reference on the details how to do this.

Thanks for the response, but I only want to know if the request is received. Could the request be received and not completed? –  vic May 30 '13 at 17:00
    
Sure. Monitor the SQL:StmtStarting event then. –  Thomas Stringer May 30 '13 at 17:31
