Query to find Top 10 Adhoc Queries in SQL Server

  • Hi,

    Can anyone please suggest with a query to find Top 10 Adhoc Queries running in SQL Server?

    Thanks.

  • Top 10 by what criteria?

  • Assuming you're going to use sys.dm_exec_query_stats and then sort by CPU, I/O or some combination, then you can combine that DMO with sys.dm_exec_query_plan and look for queries that do not have an object_id. Those will be ad hoc queries (and functions & parameterized queries). It'll get you close.
