    Dear All

    In temp db i find many temp tables created. I would like to know which SPID has created these.

    Is there a way to check this?

    Regards

    Not sure we can achive this. Better name your temptable with SPIDs.

    sys.dm_db_session_space_usage will give you some details about temp tables' usage.

    Short of profiling the instance, I don't think you can tell which session created which table. You can see the temp space that each session uses with the sys.dm_db_session_space_usage DMV.

    I suppose you COULD write a server level trigger to append the SPID to the table extended properties. Not sure how useful that would be.
