awesome

I think it was great for a short video. I would have shown how to retrieve the stored procedure name along with the blocked/blocking statements within it. In the example, we knew which procedure the statements reside in, but in real life they might be in different procs.

I think Peter is right on. Knowing the SP would be of great help. This could easily have been down by also displaying the complete "text" column from the sys.dm_exec_sql_text DMV.

confusing and hard to follow.

excellant example

It would be nice to have a way to download your code.

Lance on 7/13/2009
oops, I just found the zip file. Nice video!

I used to use sp_who2 and dbcc inputbuffer(spid) to find the blocking process and its code,does sys.dm_exec_requests and sys.dm_exec_sql_text have any advantages over the old ones?

WChaster on 8/18/2009
but do you tune off the trace after you are done?

Team FAB on 9/3/2009
I'm sure there is an easier way to see what statements are blocking and blocked - isn't there something in SSMS to do this already?

Allen Dunn on 10/16/2009
excellent video, could do with a query to return the blocked and blocking statements as an alert of some kind?

Jed on 1/18/2010
Too advanced for me.

Good one,Jonathan

desmond on 4/24/2010
very heavy going and delivered very fast, but excellent content. It will probably take me another 2-3 hours to follow these example thru by myself to make sure I really understand everything.

Juan Rivero on 7/3/2010
When there are multipart video tutorials it would be nice if you put a link to the previous tutorial.

Very good but needs some more explanation, looks like some link is missing.
