Learn how to obtain diagnostic data from dynamic management views in Microsoft SQL Server 2016.
- [Instructor] In this section,…we're going to talk about dynamic management views.…SQL Server 2016 provides a tremendous amount…of information to us through a series of views…that will give us data about our databases,…the underlying hardware, the files,…and many other things.…So I'm going to open up in Object Explorer DemoDB02…then open up Views,…then open up System Views,…and we see quite a number of views.…As we scroll down, we'll see a number of them…have the initials dm, standing for dynamic management,…and all of these views provide different information…about different parts of the hardware or software.…
Few of the ones I like to look at,…first is dm_os_system_memory.…So I'll right-click on that,…go to Select Top 1000 Rows…and I'm given information…about the physical memory in this server,…showed me the total physical memory,…the available physical memory,…and some other information related to the memory.…This is very useful if I don't have access…to the underlying operating system…if I'm working on a remote SQL server…
