Remarks

IAM pages are not included in any of the allocation or deallocation counts reported by this view.

Page counters are initialized to zero (0) at the start of a session. The counters track the total number of pages that have been allocated or deallocated for tasks that are already completed in the session. The counters are updated only when a task ends; they do not reflect running tasks.

A session can have multiple requests active at the same time. A request can start multiple threads, tasks, if it is a parallel query.

For more information about the sessions, requests, and tasks, see sys.dm_exec_sessions (Transact-SQL), sys.dm_exec_requests (Transact-SQL), and sys.dm_os_tasks (Transact-SQL).

  • User-defined tables and indexes

  • System tables and indexes

  • Global temporary tables and indexes

  • Local temporary tables and indexes
