sys.dm_db_wait_stats (Azure SQL Database)
Applies to:
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Managed Instance
Returns information about all the waits encountered by threads that executed during operation. You can use this aggregated view to diagnose performance issues with Azure SQL Database and also with specific queries and batches.
Specific types of wait times during query execution can indicate bottlenecks or stall points within the query. Similarly, high wait times, or wait counts server wide can indicate bottlenecks or hot spots in interaction query interactions within the server instance. For example, lock waits indicate data contention by queries; page IO latch waits indicate slow IO response times; page latch update waits indicate incorrect file layout.
Column name | Data type | Description |
---|---|---|
wait_type | nvarchar(60) | Name of the wait type. For more information, see Types of Waits, later in this topic. |
waiting_tasks_count | bigint | Number of waits on this wait type. This counter is incremented at the start of each wait. |
wait_time_ms | bigint | Total wait time for this wait type in milliseconds. This time is inclusive of signal_wait_time_ms. |
max_wait_time_ms | bigint | Maximum wait time on this wait type. |
signal_wait_time_ms | bigint | Difference between the time that the waiting thread was signaled and when it started running. |
Remarks
This dynamic management view displays data only for the current database.
This dynamic management view shows the time for waits that have completed. It does not show current waits.
Counters are reset to zero any time the database is moved or taken offline.
A SQL Server worker thread is not considered to be waiting if any of the following is true:
A resource becomes available.
A queue is nonempty.
An external process finishes.
Note
These statistics are not persisted after SQL Database failover events, and all data is cumulative since the last time the statistics were reset or the database engine started. Use the sqlserver_start_time
column in sys.dm_os_sys_info to find the last database engine startup time.
Permissions
Requires VIEW DATABASE STATE permission on the database.
Types of Waits
Resource waits
Resource waits occur when a worker requests access to a resource that is not available because the resource is being used by some other worker or is not yet available. Examples of resource waits are locks, latches, network and disk I/O waits. Lock and latch waits are waits on synchronization objects.
Queue waits
Queue waits occur when a worker is idle, waiting for work to be assigned. Queue waits are most typically seen with system background tasks such as the deadlock monitor and deleted record cleanup tasks. These tasks will wait for work requests to be placed into a work queue. Queue waits may also periodically become active even if no new packets have been put on the queue.
External waits
External waits occur when a SQL Server worker is waiting for an external event, such as an extended stored procedure call or a linked server query, to finish. When you diagnose blocking issues, remember that external waits do not always imply that the worker is idle, because the worker may actively be running some external code.
Although the thread is no longer waiting, the thread does not have to start running immediately. This is because such a thread is first put on the queue of runnable workers and must wait for a quantum to run on the scheduler.
In SQL Server the wait-time counters are bigint values and therefore are not as prone to counter rollover as the equivalent counters in earlier versions of SQL Server.
The following table lists the wait types encountered by tasks.

This wait type is used by deadlock monitor only. Queries on top of sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks use DEADLOCK_ENUM_MUTEX. |
DEBUG | Occurs during Transact-SQL and CLR debugging for internal synchronization. |

This state controls when the recovery of Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) transactions occurs after SQL Server receives notification that the MS DTC service has become unavailable. This state also describes a task that is waiting when a commit of a MS DTC transaction is initiated by SQL Server and SQL Server is waiting for the MS DTC commit to finish. |
DTC_ABORT_REQUEST | Occurs in a MS DTC worker session when the session is waiting to take ownership of a MS DTC transaction. After MS DTC owns the transaction, the session can roll back the transaction. Generally, the session will wait for another session that is using the transaction. |
DTC_RESOLVE | Occurs when a recovery task is waiting for the master database in a cross-database transaction so that the task can query the outcome of the transaction. |
DTC_STATE | Occurs when a task is waiting on an event that protects changes to the internal MS DTC global state object. This state should be held for very short periods of time. |
DTC_TMDOWN_REQUEST | Occurs in a MS DTC worker session when SQL Server receives notification that the MS DTC service is not available. First, the worker will wait for the MS DTC recovery process to start. Then, the worker waits to obtain the outcome of the distributed transaction that the worker is working on. This may continue until the connection with the MS DTC service has been reestablished. |
DTC_WAITFOR_OUTCOME | Occurs when recovery tasks wait for MS DTC to become active to enable the resolution of prepared transactions. |
DUMP_LOG_COORDINATOR | Occurs when a main task is waiting for a subtask to generate data. Ordinarily, this state does not occur. A long wait indicates an unexpected blockage. The subtask should be investigated. |
