This nifty little bit of code allows you to use XML without bashing your face in with Xpath or Xquery.

Also you have no need to know what the incoming XML looks like as the function takes care of that.

Read the post .. Very cool

T-SQL Query Script to monitor Memory Usage of a SQL Server Instance

This is something I've needed to do on many occasions. I am sure you have too.

the post referenced has some awesome things

SQL Server 2008 data collection sets

Before you actually go out and create a completely custom data collector for performance counters, you should consider something. The System Activity Collection Set that is one of the System Collection Sets, already includes over 60 performance counters as a collection item. You can see what ones are already included by running the following query:

SELECT name, frequency, parameters FROM syscollector_collection_items WHERE name = 'Server Activity - Performance Counters'

Since the definition of the collection items is XML based, you can click the XML Document and it will open in a new window with friendly formatting. If you find that the default counters don't meet your specific needs, then you can use the following example to create a custom collection set:

use msdb; --First create the collection set declare @collection_set_id int declare @collection_set_uid uniqueidentifier exec [dbo].[sp_syscollector_create_collection_set] @name=N'Performance Counter Collection Set', @collection_mode=0, --Let's start in cached mode. @description=N'Collects Performance Counters from PerfMon', @target=N'', --Undocumented @logging_level=0, --0 through 2 are valid @days_until_expiration=5, --Let's just keep data 5 days. We will rollup for reporting. @proxy_name=N'', --Use if you want it to run under something other than the SQL Agent svc account. @schedule_name=N'CollectorSchedule_Every_5min', --Built in schedule @collection_set_id=@collection_set_id output, @collection_set_uid=@collection_set_uid output -- Now create the collection item for the Performance Counters to be collected declare @collector_type_uid uniqueidentifier declare @collection_item_id int select @collector_type_uid = collector_type_uid from [dbo].[syscollector_collector_types] where name = N'Performance Counters Collector Type'; exec [dbo].[sp_syscollector_create_collection_item] @name=N'Standard SQL Server Performance Counters', @parameters=N' <ns:PerformanceCountersCollector xmlns:ns="DataCollectorType"> <PerformanceCounters Objects="Processor" Counters="% Processor time" Instances="_Total" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="Processor" Counters="% Privileged time" Instances="_Total" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="Memory" Counters="Available KBytes" Instances="*" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="Memory" Counters="Pages/sec" Instances="*" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="Memory" Counters="Committed Bytes" Instances="*" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="Memory" Counters="Commit limit" Instances="*" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="System" Counters="Processor Queue Length" Instances="*" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="System" Counters="Context Switches/sec" Instances="*" /> <PerformanceCounters Objects="PhysicalDisk" Counters="Avg.

Identify and Kill Top Blocking Processes In MS SQL Server

You can use the below sample t-sql code in order to list the top blocking processes in a MS SQL Server instance. But before executing the t-sql query, you should switch to the master sql server database.

use master GO select * from sysprocesses (nolock) where blocked = 0 and spid in ( select blocked from sysprocesses (nolock) where blocked <> 0 ) GO

After defining the user process running on the SQL Server instance, you can kill if you are required to kill that sql process by running the Kill @spid t-sql command.
