Wierd process...

  • Hi guys,

    I could use some assistance...

    I was noticing some sluggishness on mt SQL 2k5 server - when I looked at the activity monitor, I noticed an active process (runnable, not a system process) When I opened the provess, here is the result:

    create table #tmpDBCCinputbuffer ([Event Type] nvarchar(512), [Parameters] int, [Event Info] nvarchar(512))

    insert into #tmpDBCCinputbuffer exec ('DBCC INPUTBUFFER(84)')

    select [Event Info] from #tmpDBCCinputbuffer

    When i try to kill the process I get a message that I cannot kill my own processes.

    I logged into SQL Mgmt Studio as a different user, and when i tried to kill the process I got the same message. The runnable process ID takes on whatever identity I log in as?!?

    Also, when I try to kill the process via query analyzer, it just comes right back.

    What is this demon???? :crazy:

    What is this demon???? :crazy:

    It's the query that activity monitor runs to get the current server activity.
