Modified sp_who - more info & extra parameter

This procedure, sp_who3, is based on the system-supplied sp_who2, but is modified to return the actual text of the commands executed by each spid.  Very helpful for troubleshooting!  In addition, I have added a @hostname parameter to allow the user the option of viewing activity originating from only one computer, if desired.

Question of the Day

Locking Hierarchies

You have a table [dbo].[orders] without a Clustered Index (Heap). The table does not have any other nonclustered indexes! You rund the following command in Read Committed Isolation Level:

SELECTo_orderdate,
        o_orderkey,
        o_custkey,
        o_storekey
FROMdbo.orders
WHEREo_orderkey = 3877;

What locking hierarchy will Microsoft SQL Server use?
