Info from pageid

[Tomi]

According to MS the o/p from sysprocesses table gives us info about the wait process as RID DatabaseID:FileIDageID:Slot

How is it possible to find out the table or object involved from the pageid ?

Thanks
Tom

Try DBCC PAGE

Some more info:
DBCC PAGE ({dbid|dbname}, pagenum [,print option] [,cache] [,logical])

where:

dbid|dbname - Enter either the dbid or the name of the database

pagenum - Enter the page number of the SQL Server page that is to be examined

print option - (Optional) Print option can be either 0, 1, or 2

0 - (Default) This option causes DBCC PAGE to print out only the page header information.

1 - This option causes DBCC PAGE to print out the page header information, each row of information from the page, and the page's offset table. Each of the rows printed out will be separated from each other.

2 - This option is the same as option 1, except it prints the page rows as a single block of information rather than separating the individual rows. The offset and header will also be displayed.


cache - (Optional) This parameter allows either a 1 or a 0 to be entered

0 - This option causes DBCC PAGE to retrieve the page number from disk rather than checking to see if it is in cache.

1 - (Default) This option takes the page from cache if it is in cache rather than getting it from disk only.


logical - (Optional) This parameter is for use if the page number that is to be retrieved is a virtual page rather then a logical page. It can be either 0 or 1.

0 - If the page is to be a virtual page number.

1 - (Default) If the page is the logical page number.

This is an example:

DBCC TRACEON (3604)
DBCC PAGE (master, 1, 1)



Hope this helps
