List the queries running on SQL Server

Closed 7 years ago.
Is there a program or a sql query that I can find which SQL queries are being run on an SQL Server 2012? I think there was a tool in earlier version of SQL Server where the actual query content gets displayed or the stored procedure name?

Answer 1

I use the below query
SELECT SPID = er.session_id
,STATUS = ses.STATUS
,[Login] = ses.login_name
,Host = ses.host_name
,BlkBy = er.blocking_session_id
,DBName = DB_Name(er.database_id)
,CommandType = er.command
,ObjectName = OBJECT_NAME(st.objectid)
,CPUTime = er.cpu_time
,StartTime = er.start_time
,TimeElapsed = CAST(GETDATE() - er.start_time AS TIME)
,SQLStatement = st.text
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests er
OUTER APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(er.sql_handle) st
LEFT JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions ses
ON ses.session_id = er.session_id
LEFT JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections con
ON con.session_id = ses.session_id
WHERE st.text IS NOT NULL

Answer 2

Depending on your privileges, this query might work:
SELECT sqltext.TEXT,
req.session_id,
req.status,
req.command,
req.cpu_time,
req.total_elapsed_time
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests req
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) AS sqltext

Answer 3

There's this, from SQL Server DMV's In Action book:
The output shows the spid (process identifier), the ecid (this is similar to a thread within the same spid and is useful for identifying queries running in parallel), the user running the SQL, the status (whether the SQL is running or waiting), the wait status (why it’s waiting), the hostname, the domain name, and the start time (useful for determining how long the batch has been running).
The nice part is the query and parent query. That shows, for example, a stored proc as the parent and the query within the stored proc that is running. It has been very handy for me. I hope this helps someone else.
USE master
GO
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED
SELECT
er.session_Id AS [Spid]
, sp.ecid
, er.start_time
, DATEDIFF(SS,er.start_time,GETDATE()) as [Age Seconds]
, sp.nt_username
, er.status
, er.wait_type
, SUBSTRING (qt.text, (er.statement_start_offset/2) + 1,
((CASE WHEN er.statement_end_offset = -1
THEN LEN(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX), qt.text)) * 2
ELSE er.statement_end_offset
END - er.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) AS [Individual Query]
, qt.text AS [Parent Query]
, sp.program_name
, sp.Hostname
, sp.nt_domain
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests er
INNER JOIN sys.sysprocesses sp ON er.session_id = sp.spid
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(er.sql_handle)as qt
WHERE session_Id > 50
AND session_Id NOT IN (##SPID)
ORDER BY session_Id, ecid

Answer 4

here is what you need to install the SQL profiler http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb500441.aspx. However, i would suggest you to read through this one http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/08/03/sql-server-introduction-to-sql-server-2008-profiler-2/ if you are looking to do it on your Production Environment.
There is another better way to look at the queries watch this one and see if it helps

Answer 5

The tool is called the SQL Server Profiler, it's still part of the standard toolset.

Answer 6

You are talking about SQL Profiler.
