sys.dm_exec_requests (Transact-SQL)

Returns information about each request that is executing within SQL Server.

Note

To execute code that is outside SQL Server (for example, extended stored procedures and distributed queries), a thread has to execute outside the control of the non-preemptive scheduler. To do this, a worker switches to preemptive mode. Time values returned by this dynamic management view do not include time spent in preemptive mode.

Column name

Data type

Description

session_id

smallint

ID of the session to which this request is related. Is not nullable.

For more information, see Finding and Tuning Similar Queries by Using Query and Query Plan Hashes.

Permissions

Requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission on the server.

Note

If the user has VIEW SERVER STATE permission on the server, the user will see all executing sessions on the instance of SQL Server; otherwise, the user will see only the current session.

Examples

A. Finding the query text for a running batch

The following example queries sys.dm_exec_requests to find the interesting query and copy its sql_handle from the output.

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests;
GO

Then, to obtain the statement text, use the copied sql_handle with system function sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle).

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_sql_text(< copied sql_handle >);
GO

B. Finding all locks that a running batch is holding

The following example queries sys.dm_exec_requests to find the interesting batch and copy its transaction_id from the output.

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests;
GO

Then, to find lock information, use the copied transaction_id with the system function sys.dm_tran_locks.

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_tran_locks 
WHERE request_owner_type = N'TRANSACTION' 
    AND request_owner_id = < copied transaction_id >;
GO

C. Finding all currently blocked requests

The following example queries sys.dm_exec_requests to find information about blocked requests.

SELECT session_id ,status ,blocking_session_id
    ,wait_type ,wait_time ,wait_resource 
    ,transaction_id 
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests 
WHERE status = N'suspended';
GO
