A Basic Doubt which Im stuck with, from long

  • sp_who and sp_who2 commands which are used to get info about processes and their status...

    they will return different status... can anyone write out here or any document you guys can provide about these status i will be thank full...

    these commands return status like

    1. Sleeping

    2. Background

    3. Runnable and so on.....

  • Background : background threads like logwriter .You cant find what its doing

    Runnable : are the ones waiting for their turn to run on CPU .So , actually waiting because other thread is running and SQL is non-preemptive.

    Running : currently running

    Sleeping : task is done and the spid is still open waiting for the next command
