SQL Server - Hanging Process - SPID Query

How do I find what is the associated query that is being executed if I have the SPID. Trying to figure out what query is being associated since the process seems to be hung.

Solution

  • what version of sql server? for 2000 and up you can do

    dbcc inputbuffer (spid)

    That will give the first 255 characters

    replace spid with the numerical number for spid

    for 2005 and up, change @@SPID to the spid you are looking for

    select dest.*
from  sys.dm_exec_requests as der
             cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text (der.sql_handle) as dest
where session_id = @@spid
