  Hello all,

  I was asked a question the other day and to be honest I'm drawing a blank. The question was is there a way to find out how many times a stored proc was run in a day does sql server keep these statistics internally?

  Does anyone have any suggestions. 

  Thanks

  It doesn't in SS2000. Possibly in ss2k5, but the easy way is to build a table and add a line of code to the stored proc to log each run.

  In sql2k5, you can see the number of times that an execution plan has been executed since it was last compiled by querying sys.dm_exec_query_stats;

  SELECT qs.execution_count,

          SUBSTRING(qt.text,qs.statement_start_offset/2,

     (case when qs.statement_end_offset = -1

     then len(convert(nvarchar(max), qt.text)) * 2

     else qs.statement_end_offset end -qs.statement_start_offset)/2)

    as query_text,

    qt.dbid, dbname=db_name(qt.dbid),

    qt.objectid

  FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs

  cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) as qt

  where dbid='your db id'

  ORDER BY

          qs.execution_count DESC
