In our report generation application, there’s some pretty hefty queries that take a considerable amount of time to run. User feedback up until this point has been basically zip while the server chugs away at their request. I noticed that there’s a tab on the ADA Management Utility that shows progress on the query both as percent complete and estimated seconds remaining. I tried digging through the tables to see if I could find any of this information exposed, as well as picking through the limited documentation available for ADBS and couldn’t find anything useful.
Does anyone know if there’s a way I can cull this information outside ADA to provide some needed user feedback?
ADA is getting that information from the sp_GetSQLStatements system procedure.
However, the traditional way of providing progress information for any operation is through a callback function.
