Script to find Running Process and Session in SQL Server

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

In this post, I am sharing different scripts to find the running sessions and processes in SQL Server.

As a DBA, this is very much important to find all current running sessions and processes of SQL Server.

Below are three different ways for find the all running process of SQL Server.

First, Using SP_WHO & SP_WHO2:
The both commands are used to check and monitor current running connections and sessions of the SQL Server.

SP_WHO : provides information like: Session ID, Logged User ID, Host Name, Session Status, Blocked Process, Database Name, Command Details, Request ID.

SP_WHO2 : provides some additional information like : CPU Time by each session, no of Disk Reads, Last query execution time

Second, Using sysprocesses View:

SELECT
DB_NAME(DBID) AS DataBaseName
,COUNT(DBID) AS NumberOfConnections
,LogiName
FROM sys.sysprocesses
WHERE DBID > 0
GROUP BY DBID, LogiName

Third, Using dm_exec_requests:

SELECT
der.session_id

,der.status

,der.cpu_time
,der.total_elapsed_time
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests AS der
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) AS est
