Need report for current heaviest queries

What tools can I use to get an immediate report of which queries are the
heavist on my sql server? Sometimes it can max for 30-40 seconds and I need
to troubleshoot where the bottleneck it.
All tips and links would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Moshe
You can use a server side trace or Profiler to capture
information on queries such as duration, cpu, reads, writes,
etc. You can use the tool or tracing in different ways but
I'm not sure what you mean by an immediate report - if you
need to see what's hardest on your server you'd need to
monitor this over some period of time. You can save the
trace results to a file and from there you can import them
to a table using fn_trace_gettable and do some analysis,
reporting, etc.

Need Info on Tools for MSSQL Reporting etc.

Hi All,

Am looking for inputs on tools for MSSQL. Some of my requirements are

1) Database Audits or to audit database settings and Logins
2) Performance Monitoring
3) Query Tuning
4) Data Compare
5) Load Testing - to see how an sql instance/server reacts to higher load/volume.

I am looking for reviews/web-links from any first-hand experience wherever possible.

TIA,

Warm Regards,
Ranjit.redgate has many excellent tools for sql server. their data compare tool is quite good. www.red-gate.com

Friends of mine like the tools from ApexSQL, but I haven't used them much.

BPA is a free tool from MS for analyzing server settings for "best practices" (like blank sa password, etc).

Finally, a plug for my own too: if you have a need for documenting your databases, you might check out sqlspec, a tool I wrote myself at the link in my sig below. :}
