dm_exec_query_stats: Returns aggregate performance statistics for cached query plans in SQL Server. The view contains one row per query statement within the cached plan, and the lifetime of the rows are tied to the plan itself. When a plan is removed from the cache, the corresponding rows are eliminated from this view.
This query shows result by execution count.
SELECT TOP 1000 SUBSTRING(qt.TEXT, (qs.statement_start_offset/2)+1 SQL_query, ((CASE qs.statement_end_offset WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(qt.TEXT) ELSE qs.statement_end_offset END - qs.statement_start_offset)/2)+1), qs.execution_count, qs.total_logical_reads, qs.last_logical_reads, qs.total_logical_writes, qs.last_logical_writes, qs.total_worker_time, qs.last_worker_time, qs.total_elapsed_time/1000000 total_elapsed_time_in_S, qs.last_elapsed_time/1000000 last_elapsed_time_in_S, qs.last_execution_time, qp.query_plan FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) qt CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_query_plan(qs.plan_handle) qp order by execution_count desc
The following example returns information about the top five queries ranked by average CPU time. This example aggregates the queries according to their query hash so that logically equivalent queries are grouped by their cumulative resource consumption.
SELECT TOP 5 query_stats.query_hash AS "Query Hash", SUM(query_stats.total_worker_time) / SUM(query_stats.execution_count) AS "Avg CPU Time", MIN(query_stats.statement_text) AS "Statement Text" FROM (SELECT QS.*, SUBSTRING(ST.text, (QS.statement_start_offset/2) + 1, ((CASE statement_end_offset WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(ST.text) ELSE QS.statement_end_offset END - QS.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) AS statement_text FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS QS CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(QS.sql_handle) as ST) as query_stats GROUP BY query_stats.query_hash ORDER BY 2 DESC;
The following example returns row count aggregate information (total rows, minimum rows, maximum rows and last rows) for queries.
SELECT qs.execution_count, SUBSTRING(qt.text,qs.statement_start_offset/2 +1, (CASE WHEN qs.statement_end_offset = -1 THEN LEN(CONVERT(nvarchar(max), qt.text)) * 2 ELSE qs.statement_end_offset end - qs.statement_start_offset )/2 ) AS query_text, qt.dbid, dbname= DB_NAME (qt.dbid), qt.objectid, qs.total_rows, qs.last_rows, qs.min_rows, qs.max_rows FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS qt WHERE qt.text like '%SELECT%' ORDER BY qs.execution_count DESC;
