Sometimes you are keen to know about what is
currently running on the SQL SERVER. I faced a similar problem recently and the below Mentioned query
helped me a lot. Actually my production database log was increasing so fast and I
was not aware of the reason as to why it was increasing in such a big amount? So I ran the
below query and it provided me with the list of statements with their process ids and the
source of running.
And with the help of this SQL statement I found the culprit statement also which was
increasing the log.
So hope fully it will help you too.
SELECT [Spid] = session_Id
, ecid
, [Database] = DB_NAME(sp.dbid)
, [User] = nt_username
, [Status] = er.status
, [Wait] = wait_type
, [Individual Query] = SUBSTRING (qt.text,
er.statement_start_offset/2,
(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)
,[Parent Query] = qt.text
, Program = program_name
, Hostname
, nt_domain
, start_time
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 — Ignore system spids.
AND session_Id NOT IN (@@SPID) — Ignore this current statement.
ORDER BY 1, 2
