Hi
Anyone got a query that will find sessions running a particular piece of SQL text ? and bring back output like Kill <Session ID>;
Half way there in terms of finding the session, I just need to include where the sql text like "%select blah blah blah%
SELECT 'KILL ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), session_id) + N';'
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions
WHERE login_name = N'JOE_BLOGGS';
thanks in advance

You could do something like and filter as needed,

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests er
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions ses on er.session_id = ses.session_id
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(er.sql_handle) sql_text

I need to select all SIDs of a particular user who is running a particular piece of code, there in lies the challenge 😉

And produce a kill script from that select.

That query should have the login and the sql command in it, you'll just need to add the filter.

I'm curious... WHY?

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Because someone who shouldn't have had rights to execute his own SQL statements instead of being limited to existing, properly written stored procedures etc?
