Life saver Queries.
These queries can save your life.
Query to find the query using the most CPU:
select
highest_cpu_queries.plan_handle,
highest_cpu_queries.total_worker_time,
q.dbid,
q.objectid,
q.number,
q.encrypted,
q.[text]
from
(select top 10
qs.plan_handle,
qs.total_worker_time
from
sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs
order by qs.total_worker_time desc) as highest_cpu_queries
cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(plan_handle) as q
order by highest_cpu_queries.total_worker_time desc
Indexes not used:
select object_name(i.object_id),
i.name,
s.user_updates,
s.user_seeks,
s.user_scans,
s.user_lookups
from sys.indexes i
left join sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats s
on s.object_id = i.object_id and
i.index_id = s.index_id and s.database_id = DB_ID('ILT_Stage')
where objectproperty(i.object_id, 'IsIndexable') = 1 and
-- index_usage_stats has no reference to this index (not being used)
s.index_id is null or
-- index is being updated, but not used by seeks/scans/lookups
(s.user_updates > 0 and s.user_seeks = 0
and s.user_scans = 0 and s.user_lookups = 0)
order by object_name(i.object_id) asc
Missing indexes:
SELECT
mig.index_group_handle, mid.index_handle,
CONVERT (decimal (28,1),
migs.avg_total_user_cost * migs.avg_user_impact * (migs.user_seeks + migs.user_scans)
) AS improvement_measure,
'CREATE INDEX missing_index_' + CONVERT (varchar, mig.index_group_handle) + '_' + CONVERT (varchar, mid.index_handle)
+ ' ON ' + mid.statement
+ ' (' + ISNULL (mid.equality_columns,'')
+ CASE WHEN mid.equality_columns IS NOT NULL AND mid.inequality_columns IS NOT NULL THEN ',' ELSE '' END
+ ISNULL (mid.inequality_columns, '')
+ ')'
+ ISNULL (' INCLUDE (' + mid.included_columns + ')', '') AS create_index_statement,
migs.*, mid.database_id, mid.[object_id]
FROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups mig
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats migs ON migs.group_handle = mig.index_group_handle
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_details mid ON mig.index_handle = mid.index_handle
WHERE CONVERT (decimal (28,1), migs.avg_total_user_cost * migs.avg_user_impact * (migs.user_seeks + migs.user_scans)) > 10
ORDER BY migs.avg_total_user_cost * migs.avg_user_impact * (migs.user_seeks + migs.user_scans) DESC
TempDB:
Queries to find which SQL statements are using Tempdb the most:
SELECT
t1.session_id,
(t1.internal_objects_alloc_page_count + task_alloc) as allocated,
(t1.internal_objects_dealloc_page_count + task_dealloc) as
deallocated
from sys.dm_db_session_space_usage as t1,
(select session_id,
sum(internal_objects_alloc_page_count)
as task_alloc,
sum (internal_objects_dealloc_page_count) as
task_dealloc
from sys.dm_db_task_space_usage group by session_id) as t2
where t1.session_id = t2.session_id and t1.session_id >50
order by allocated DESC
Highest CPU queries:
select
t1.session_id,
t1.request_id,
t1.task_alloc,
t1.task_dealloc,
t2.sql_handle,
t2.statement_start_offset,
t2.statement_end_offset,
t2.plan_handle
from (Select session_id,
request_id,
sum(internal_objects_alloc_page_count) as task_alloc,
sum (internal_objects_dealloc_page_count) as task_dealloc
from sys.dm_db_task_space_usage
group by session_id, request_id) as t1,
sys.dm_exec_requests as t2
where t1.session_id = t2.session_id and
(t1.request_id = t2.request_id)
order by t1.task_alloc DESC
Thanks to Santosh Tawde for providing these queries. I have some more useful DMV queries in my previous post.

My friend, buddy, pal Jon Picariello, told me about your blog. He's right--you have some great stuff here, & I'm going to subscribe. I have a collection of queries--my "All-Star DMVs", on which I rely: http://blogs.msdn.com/jimmymay/archive/2008/10/30/drum-roll-please-the-debut-of-the-sql-dmv-all-stars-dream-team.aspx I've been looking for some good index-related queries--I'll be looking forward to experimenting with yours. Thanks, Rafat, & good luck!
