Who's Blocking

,

A quick little standalone script that tells you what process is blocking and what processes the blocking processing actually blocking.

When running this script in QA, change your output to "Results in Text" ( CTRL-T ).  Utilizes the blocking info in sp_who2 combined with dbcc inputbuffer and a little cursor to wrap it all up.  Formatting needs a little work, but the info is all there.

set nocount on
declare @spid varchar(10)
declare @blkby varchar(10)
declare @stmt varchar(100)
if not exists ( select top 1 name from tempdb..sysobjects where name like '#temp%' )
begin
   create table #temp ( spid integer, status varchar(100), login varchar(50), hostname varchar(25), blkby varchar(10), 
                        dbname varchar(25), command varchar(100), cputime integer, diskio integer, lastbatch varchar(25), 
                        programname varchar(255), spid2 integer )
end
else
begin
   truncate table #temp
end
insert into #temp
exec sp_who2

declare curs cursor for
select convert(varchar(10),spid), blkby from #temp where blkby not like '%.%'

open curs

fetch next from curs into @spid, @blkby
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
   set @stmt = 'dbcc inputbuffer(' + @blkby + ')'
   raiserror('SPID:%s is Blocking with the following statement',0,1,@blkby) with nowait
   exec (@stmt)
   raiserror('SPID that is Blocked:%s',0,1,@spid) with nowait
   set @stmt = 'dbcc inputbuffer(' + convert(varchar(10), @spid) + ')'
   exec (@stmt)
   fetch next from curs into @spid, @blkby
end

close curs 

deallocate curs
