Transaction details

  • Hi,

    Is there any way to find out details of particular transaction. We can check current transaction ID in SQL 2005, but can we check the whole details of transaction ? Like who is the owner of transaction, database, complete T-SQL of that transaction without using tracing or auditing ?

    Thanks in advance:)

    you can use sys.sysprocesses to get a lot of that information.

    you can use dbcc inputbuffer to get the t-sql statement. There are also various DMV's you can use to get similar information

  • You can use some of the 3rd party tool to indentify the transaction details.

  • Dynamic Management Views (DMV) to the rescue!

    Look up in BOL sys.dm_tran_*. You'll find more information than you can shake a stick at. You can combine this with other DMVs like sys.dm_exec_requests or sys.dm_exec_sql_text or sys.dm_exec_query_plan, to put together just about any information you might want about ongoing transactions.
