@Kiran I can’t really give you a good answer. It really depends on your server, i.e. how much activity is going on, how much available memory you have, etc. If I had to take a wild guess, I would say you’re looking at anywhere from 1 to 5 days, depending on the specifics of your environment.

Do you know how long the procedure calls remain in cache, approximately? Like, are we talking a few hours, or a few days, or a few weeks?

Thanks for your answer.

It’s working fine. I just missed something at the beginning. I was running the query outside the MASTER DB. Oups.

Thx

@Matthieu You need to be on SQL Server 2005 SP2 or higher. In prior versions of SQL Server, the OBJECT_NAME function only accepts a parameter for object_id. You can read more about this here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186301(SQL.90).aspx

To make this work for you, you could try the following query:

SELECT DB_NAME(dest.[dbid]) AS 'databaseName'
    , OBJECT_NAME(dest.objectid) AS 'procName'
    , MAX(deqs.last_execution_time) AS 'last_execution'
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest
WHERE dest.[TEXT] LIKE '%yourTableName%' -- replace
    And dest.[dbid] = DB_ID()  -- exclude ad-hocs
GROUP BY DB_NAME(dest.[dbid])
    , OBJECT_NAME(dest.objectid)
ORDER BY databaseName
    , procName
OPTION (MaxDop 1);

then execute it for each database.

Hello,
I can’t make this script work on sql server 2005.
The following error appears (I translate it from french) :

Msg 174, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
La fonction object_name requiert 1 argument(s).
=>
Msg 174, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
object_name function require 1 argument(s).

Do you know what is this ?
Thanks by advance,
