I'm not sure why I got carried away with this, but I modified your script as shown below. It should provide the same results. The main changes were to take out the cursor and all those UPDATE statements. Instead of that I created another temp table to join against.

USE MASTER

SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE TABLE #wait_stats (

wait_type nvarchar(60) NOT NULL

,waiting_tasks_count bigint NOT NULL

,wait_time_ms bigint NOT NULL

,max_wait_time_ms bigint NOT NULL

,signal_wait_time_ms bigint NOT NULL

)

CREATE TABLE #wait_type (

wait_type nvarchar(60) NOT NULL

,comment varchar(max) NOT NULL

)

INSERT INTO #wait_stats (

wait_type

,waiting_tasks_count

,wait_time_ms

,max_wait_time_ms

,signal_wait_time_ms

SELECT

wait_type

,waiting_tasks_count

,wait_time_ms

sys.dm_os_wait_stats

WHERE

waiting_tasks_count <> 0

INSERT INTO #wait_type (

wait_type

,comment
