In my last blog post, I showed you how I go about baselining wait statistics. Typically my next step once I have found my top wait types is to use extended events to figure out the SQL statements causing the majority of the waits for those wait types. This is actually my favorite example of using extended events as it clearly shows you something that can be done that wasn’t possible with a SQL Server server side trace.
** Download Scripts Here **
So, looking at the results of benchmarking my wait stats I noticed that my workload had several waits for SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD and PAGEIOLATCH_EX. I could then run the following code below to figure out which statement(s) caused the majority of these waits as shown below and tune them to reduce my waits.
NOTE: Waits schema is required. It is created in the Baseline Wait Statistics sample code.
Capture Data with Extended Events
Regardless if you are using SQL 2008 or SQL Server 2012 the statement used create your extended event session to capture your SQL statements causing your top wait types is the same. In this extended event we will capture data into memory using 20 MB. This and the max_dispatch_latency can be configured with specifying the parameters into the stored procedure.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sys.table_types where name like 'WaitType')
BEGIN
CREATE TYPE WaitType AS TABLE
( Name VARCHAR(200))
END
