Roy,

Why would you go through the trouble of the UNION ALL view? Does OBJECT_NAME() not work for you?

-Eddie

OBJECT_NAME() takes two parameters, the second being an optional database id. Both values are available in sys.dm_exec_sql_text.

For example:

SELECT r.session_id, r.wait_type, r.wait_time, r.reads, r.writes, r.logical_reads, r.cpu_time,

Check BOL for the STATS_DATE ( table_id , index_id ) function.

What that often means coming out of the mouths of developers is that they want to use some code-generators and write zero T-SQL.
