Today we will see a very simple script that I often use during my Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check. Let us find Total Sessions By Database.
SELECT DB_NAME(resource_database_id) AS DatabaseName, COUNT(*) AS TotalSessions
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks
GROUP BY DB_NAME(resource_database_id)
order by db_name(resource_database_id)That’s it. It is a very simple script that will list all the sessions for a particular database with a database name and total sessions.
Here is the six-part blog post series I have written based on my last 10 years of experience helping with the Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check. I strongly recommend you to read them as they walk you through my business model.

Good one.
Count doesn’t match to “sp_who2” why?
is there a way to kill all active sessions for a DB in one shot.
