NAME Get-DbaQueryExecutionTime
SYNOPSIS
Displays Stored Procedures and Ad hoc queries with the highest execution times. Works on SQL Server 2008 and
above.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaQueryExecutionTime -SqlInstance <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>
[-SqlCredential <Pscredential>] [-Database <System.Object[]>] [-ExcludeDatabase <System.Object[]>]
[-MaxResultsPerDb <Int>] [-MinExecs <Int>] [[-MinExecMs] <Int>] [[-ExcludeSystem] <Switch>] [-EnableException
<Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Quickly find slow query executions within a database. Results will include stored procedures and individual SQL
statements.
PARAMETERS
-Database [<System.Object[]>]
The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will
be processed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeDatabase [<System.Object[]>]
The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeSystem [<Switch>]
Allows you to suppress output on system databases
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-MaxResultsPerDb [<Int>]
Allows you to limit the number of results returned, as many systems can have very large amounts of query
plans. Default value is 100 results.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-MinExecMs [<Int>]
Allows you to limit the scope to queries with a specified average execution time. Default value is 500 (ms).
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-MinExecs [<Int>]
Allows you to limit the scope to queries that have been executed a minimum number of time. Default value is
100 executions.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaQueryExecutionTime -SqlInstance sql2008, sqlserver2012
Return the top 100 slowest stored procedures or statements for servers sql2008 and sqlserver2012.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaQueryExecutionTime -SqlInstance sql2008 -Database TestDB
Return the top 100 slowest stored procedures or statements on server sql2008 for only the TestDB database.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaQueryExecutionTime -SqlInstance sql2008 -Database TestDB -MaxResultsPerDb 100 -MinExecs 200
-MinExecMs 1000
Return the top 100 slowest stored procedures or statements on server sql2008 for only the TestDB database,
limiting results to queries with more than 200 total executions and an execution time over 1000ms or higher.
