As a .NET developer using SQL Server exclusively I have found that it is very easy to forget to close connections when using datasets with table adapters or readers. Due to this I needed a way to find the SQL text for the IDLE connections that were orphaned by my application. This script provided 99% of what I needed. THANK YOU!!!! Here is my updated script which also joins the sys.dm_exec_connections view to find the last SQL command run on the connections. In this way I can find the code responsible for the call to SQL and add the required closes for the connections.[code]SELECT t.text AS SQLStatement, s.Session_ID AS SPID, COALESCE(r.status, s.status) AS Status, s.login_name AS Login, s.host_name AS HostName, lw.BlkBy AS BlockedBy, DB_NAME(r.Database_ID) AS DBName, r.command AS Command, COALESCE(r.cpu_time, s.cpu_time) AS CPUTime, COALESCE((r.reads + r.writes), (s.reads + s.writes)) AS DiskIO, s.last_request_start_time AS LastBatch, s.program_name AS ProgramNameFROM sys.dm_exec_sessions AS s LEFT JOIN sys.dm_exec_requests AS r ON s.session_id = r.session_id LEFT JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections AS c ON s.Session_ID = c.Session_ID LEFT JOIN ( SELECT l.request_session_id AS SPID, w.blocking_session_id AS BlkBy FROM sys.dm_tran_locks as l INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks as w ON l.lock_owner_address = w.resource_address ) AS lw ON s.Session_ID = lw.SPID OUTER APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(COALESCE(r.sql_handle, c.most_recent_sql_handle)) AS t[/code]Thanks again!!!!!

I added stored proc drop and create statements, meaning you run the following to create a proc, then just exec sp_who2DMV...USE [master]GOIF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[sp_who2DMV]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_who2DMV]GOSET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOCREATE PROC [dbo].[sp_who2DMV]ASSELECT D.text SQLStatement, A.Session_ID SPID, ISNULL(B.status,A.status) Status, A.login_name Login, A.host_name HostName, C.BlkBy, DB_NAME(B.Database_ID) DBName, B.command, ISNULL(B.cpu_time, A.cpu_time) CPUTime, ISNULL((B.reads + B.writes),(A.reads + A.writes)) DiskIO, A.last_request_start_time LastBatch, A.program_nameFROM sys.dm_exec_sessions A LEFT JOIN sys.dm_exec_requests B ON A.session_id = B.session_id LEFT JOIN ( SELECT A.request_session_id SPID, B.blocking_session_id BlkBy FROM sys.dm_tran_locks as A INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks as B ON A.lock_owner_address = B.resource_address ) C ON A.Session_ID = C.SPID OUTER APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) DWHERE A.Session_ID > 50;

This query does not return the last sql statement issues like inputbuffer does. It only gives the sql for statements currently running. Also, for stored procedures, it does not return the exec statement. It returns the create procedure statement.

EamonSQL — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:49:15 GMT

Hi,it runs fine for me but the SQLStatement associated with the blocking session is NULL. The SQLStatement text for the session being blocked is ok.When i run DBCC inputbuffer(spid) against either session i get text returned.am i missing something here ?Any help welcome:)Eamon

Hi, I got this error too as the database compatibility level was set to 80 and I think for this table valued function to work the compatibilty level has to be 90 which you can set using this command, Exec sp_dbcmptlevel @dbname = 'yourdb', @new_cmptlevel = 90But when I execute the query after setting the compatibility level to 90, its giving another error, 'The user does not have permission to perform this action.' I am the dbo for the database.Can anyone please let me know if I have to be sysadmin for this or if I need any particular role at the server level. Please dont mind this question if it is very obvious as I am very new to SQL server database. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

It is not process intensive. Many people use sp_who2 to get a quick view of what is going on on the server. This is by no means a replacement for profiler, but it does give you a quick snapshot of what is happening on the server.

Alz — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:17:28 GMT

Very nice script Ken.Just wondering if you can comment on how process intensive it may be. Would you say it's safe to use in production systems as an alternative to using SQL Profiler :crazy:

Thanks John and Ken for these scripts. Both are good and are worth keeping it handy.

I'm digging this solution. I really like to be able to filter my results, so I took the code from Dan (nice code Dan) that used the trick from Adam Machanic, and turned it into a table valued function:[code]USE [master]GO/****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[fn_sp_who4] Script Date: 06/26/2008 11:31:07 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS OFFGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_sp_who4] (@filterspid int = NULL, @filter tinyint = 1)RETURNS @processes TABLE( spid int, blocked int, databasename varchar(256), hostname varchar(256), current_statement_parent xml, current_statement_sub xml, program_name varchar(256), loginame varchar(256), status varchar(60), cmd varchar(128), cpu int, physical_io int, [memusage] int, login_time datetime, last_batch datetime )ASBEGININSERT INTO @processes SELECT sub.*FROM( SELECT sp.spid, sp.blocked, sd.name, RTRIM(sp.hostname) AS hostname, ( SELECT LTRIM(st.text) AS [text()] FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE) AS parent_text, ( SELECT LTRIM(CASE WHEN LEN(COALESCE(st.text, '')) = 0 THEN NULL ELSE SUBSTRING(st.text, (er.statement_start_offset/2)+1, ((CASE er.statement_end_offset WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(st.text) ELSE er.statement_end_offset END - er.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) END) AS [text()] FROM sys.dm_exec_requests er CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(er.sql_handle) AS st WHERE er.session_id = sp.spid FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE) AS child_text, RTRIM(sp.[program_name]) AS [program_name], RTRIM(sp.loginame) AS loginame, RTRIM(sp.status) AS status, sp.cmd, sp.cpu, sp.physical_io, sp.memusage, sp.login_time, sp.last_batch FROM sys.sysprocesses sp (NOLOCK) LEFT JOIN sys.sysdatabases sd WITH (NOLOCK) ON sp.dbid = sd.dbid CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sp.sql_handle) AS st) sub INNER JOIN sys.sysprocesses sp2 ON sub.spid = sp2.spidORDER BY sub.spid-- if specific spid required IF @filterspid IS NOT NULL DELETE @processes WHERE spid <> @filterspid -- remove system processes IF @filter = 1 OR @filter = 2 DELETE @processes WHERE spid < 51 OR spid = @@SPID -- remove inactive processes IF @filter = 2 DELETE @processes WHERE status = 'sleeping' AND cmd IN ('AWAITING COMMAND') AND blocked = 0 RETURNEND[/code]Then you can run SELECT ... from master.dbo.fn_sp_who4(@filterspid = , @filter = )WHERE ... orSELECT * from master.dbo.fn_sp_who4(default,default) for the function parameter defaultsYou could also technically remove the parameters entirely since it's a table valued function after all and just use the where clause in the SELECT.It's rough, but I like it :D--John Vanda SQL Junior DBA

did something similar a few months ago with the connections and sessions DMV's. it was very nice except took a lot of storage. if we did this on a regular basis it would probably run 200GB - 300GB a month for 2-3 servers. i dumped the data into a table on the local server and every 15 minutes had an SSIS job copy it to a reporting server and delete all data in the local table.

If it is intended as a parameter to a table-valued function, ensure that your database compatibility mode is set to 90.Thanks,SS[/quote]Right Click on your database and select properties. Under the options tab the compatibility level has to be set to "SQL Server 2005 (90)" for it to work.

I copied the code from the article verbatimran fine in my SQL 2005 boxes (build 3042 and 2047)I am guessing it won't run in SQL 2000Dan: your code has a WINK in it, ha ha... when it should be the closing bracket for the TABLE declaration
