Usefull DMV Query

What are DMV : (Dynamic Management View)

  • View of internals informations.
  • DMV are basically SQL Views on some pretty important internal memory structures.
  • DMV informations include metrics about :
    • indexes
    • query execution
    • operating system
    • Transaction
    • Databases
    • and much more

What are DMF : (Dynamic Management Function)

As an example sys.dm_exec_query_stats records details of the SQL being processed via variable called sql_handle.

If this sql_handle is passed as a parameter to the DMF sys.dm_exec_sql_text, the DMF will return the actual SQL Text  associated with this sql_handle.

 

Find a cache plan :

Select st.Text as [SQL],
cp.cacheobjtype,
cp, objtype,
COASLESCE (Cast(pa.value, INT)), 'Resource' as [DatabaseName],
cp.usecounts as [Plan Usage],
qp.query_plan
From sys.dm_exec_cached_plan cp
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (cp.plan_handle) st
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan (cp.plan_handle) qp
OUTER APPLY sys.dm_exec_plan_attributes (cp.plan_handle) pa
Where pa.attribute = 'dbid'

 

Most Expensive Query :

Select Cast(Total_elapsed_time / 1000000.0 as decimal(28,2)) as [Total Duration (s)],
Cast(Total_Worker_Time * 100.0 / Total_Elapsed_Time as decimal(28, 2)) as [% CPU],
Cast ((total_elapsed_time - total_worker_time) * 100.0 / total_elapsed_time as decimal(28,2)) as [% Waiting],
execution_count,
Cast (Total_elapsed_time / 1000000.0 / execution_count as decimal(28,2)) as [average duration (s)],
Substring (qt.text, (qs.statement_start_offset / 2) + 1, ((
Case When qs.statement_end_offset = -1
Then len(convert(Nvarchar(Max), qt.text)) * 2
Else qs.statement_end_offset
End - qs.statement_start_offset) / 2 ) + 1) as [Individual Query]
From sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (qs.sql_handle) as qt
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan(qs.plan_handle) qp
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_cached_plans as cp
ON qs.plan_handle = cp.plan_handle
Where Total_elapsed_Time <> 0
and Execution_count <> 0
Order By total_elapsed_time DESC

 

 Missing Index :

 Select Round (avg_total_user_cost * avg_user_impact * (user_seeks + user_scans), 0) as [Total Cost],
statement as [Table Name],
equality_columns
From sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups g
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats s on s.group_handle = g.index_group_handle
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_details d on d.index_handle = g.index_handle

 

Why are you waiting ?

Select Wait_type, wait_time_ms, signal_wait_time_ms, wait_time_ms -signal_wait_time_ms as RealWait,
convert(Decimal(12, 2), (wait_time_ms - signal_wait_time_ms) * 100.0 / sum(wait_time_ms) over()) as [% RealWait]
From sys.dm_os_wait_stats
Where Wait_type like '%SLEEP%'
And wait_type != 'WAITFOR'
Order by wait_time_ms DESC

 

What is blocked ?

Select Blocking.Session_id as BlockingSessionId,
Sess.login_name as BlockingUser,

From Sys.dm_exec_connections as Blocking
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_requests as Blocked
ON Blocking.session_id = blocked.blocking_sessionid
INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_task as waits
ON Blocked.session_id = Waits.session_id
RIGHT OUTER JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions Sess
ON Blocking.session_id = sess.session_id
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (Blocking.most_recent_sql_handle) as Blocking SQL
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (Blocked.sql_handle) as BlockedSQL

 

What Fill the log ?

 Select db.name as [Database Name],

From sys.databases as db
INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_performance_counters as lu on db.name = lu.instance_name

Where lu.counter_name like 'Log File(s) Used Size (KB)%'
And ls.counter_name like 'Log File(s) Size (KB)%'

physical_memory_in_bytes / 1048576 as [Physical Memory (MB)]
From sys.dm_os_sys_info
