Heh... and I get my butt chewed for using deprecated forms of aliased column names. I don't feel so bad, now.

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I get this error when creating the SP: Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure dba_WhatSQLIsExecuting, Line 42 Incorrect syntax near '.'.

Line 42 is the 'CROSS APPLY' line.

Can anyone help?

Mark,

are you sure you are running this against a SQL2005 instance?

Kev,

Thanks - the server was 2005 but the compatibility level was still 2000. It worked find after that change.

I ran this in a new query window and it ran successfully. I did not get an output. How do I view the results????

If I run it again I get the following message.

Msg 2714, Level 16, State 3, Procedure dba_WhatSQLIsExecuting, Line 17

There is already an object named 'dba_WhatSQLIsExecuting' in the database.

dhayes,

I guess you are new to SQL

The first time you ran the script, you were creating a stored procedure, teh scond time errored, as you found out, because the proc already exists!

To run the proc use

exec dba_WhatSQLIsExecuting

ensuring you are in the right database.....

Thank You Kev.

I'm not new to SQL, I'm just not a SQL DBA. I work with Sql every day, just don't normally call Stored procedures. Primarily do backups, and Database creations.

Thanks again for the info.

I got that same message when trying this script on a SQL2000 server. This script is only for SQL2005.

How to change the compatibility mode?

This is great. It will be very useful in nailing down those sneaky, long running processes that you can't get a peek at with the standard tools. Thanks!
