Database Operation Status (classic)

Article
11/26/2018

THIS TOPIC APPLIES TO: SQL Server yes Azure SQL Database yes Azure SQL Data Warehouse Parallel Data Warehouse

Gets the status of a specific operation on a database, all the operations (history) on a database, or all the operations on all databases on a server.

This functionality is equivalent to querying the sys.dm_operation_status table.

Important

The recommended REST commands to work with SQL Database are the Resource Manager based Azure SQL Database REST API. While there is no change to SQL Database, be aware that the classic deployment model command in this article is scheduled for deprecation on December 1, 2019. For a table providing links to the specific new commands you should use, see Operations for Azure SQL Databases.

Request

The Database Operation Status request must be specified as follows:

Replace {subscriptionId} with your subscription ID.
Replace {serverName} with the name of the server containing the database whose operation you want to query.
Replace {operationGuid} with the unique identifier (Guid) for the operation.
Replace {databaseName} with a database name to get the history of all operations on that database.

Method	Request URI	HTTP Version
GET	https://management.core.windows.net:8443/{subscriptionId}/services/sqlservers/servers/{serverName}/databaseoperations/{operationGuid}	HTTP/1.1
GET	https://management.core.windows.net:8443/{subscriptionId}/services/sqlservers/servers/{serverName}/databaseoperations?databaseName={databaseName}	HTTP/1.1
GET	https://management.core.windows.net:8443/{subscriptionId}/services/sqlservers/servers/{serverName}/databaseoperations?contentview=generic	HTTP/1.1

The third form lists all operations on all databases on a server.

URI Parameters

None.

Request Headers

The following table describes the required and optional request headers:

Request Header	Description
x-ms-version	Required. Specifies the version of the operation to use for this request. This header should be set to 2012-03-01.

Request Body

None.

Response

The response includes an HTTP status code, a set of response headers, and a response body.

Status Code

Response Headers

The response for this operation includes the following headers. The response may also include additional standard HTTP headers. All standard headers conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol specification.

Response Header	Description
x-ms-request-id	A value that uniquely identifies a request made against the database management service. This request id is used for request tracking. If a failure occurs that requires the user to contact Microsoft Support, the request id should be provided to Microsoft to assist in tracking and resolving the failure for the request.

Response Body

The following is an example response for the history of all operations on a database.

The response to get database operations by {operationGuid} will only have one <ServiceResource> entity instead of 3.

The response to get database operations for all databases on the server will have a <ServiceResource> entity for each database operation that took place on any database on the server.
