Automate alerts for database blockings.

  • Hi Everyone,

    Just want to ask if anyone have "script" or jobs that will automatically check database blocking. I want to automate this kind of scenario and also create an email alert if there's database blocking.

    This will be a big help to me.

    Thanks in advance guys 🙂

  • Blocking is a pretty normal activity as the database establishes locks to allow some queries to complete before beginning others. I don't think you really want to get an email in those instances, because in a high volume application you'll get tons of emails!

    SELECT * FROM sys.sysprocesses WHERE blocked <> 0

    The above query identifies blocked processes. It would probably be better to dump all of them into a log table and then analyze them at periodic intervals.

    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
