Hi,

i'm running (it takes up to 1 hour to complete) an extensivly long sql query in SQL server Mngmnt studio 2005. Is there any possible way to see what is going on with query whilst executing?

i'm using:
SET STATISTICS IO ON
SET STATISTICS TIME ON
SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON

But i can't see anything until query is completed. Is there any back-way to see what is going on?

thanky you

You can use SQL profiler trace to see how it executes each chunk of sql query by adding appropriate counters. Also use query execution plan once it finishes to get an idea of what all action is performed by SQL query engine.

Is it just a single query or single SP? If it is single query, you can't see execution plan or IO statistics till the query completes. However, you can check estimated execution plan if you want.
