Syntax

dm_exec_xml_handles (session_id | 0 )

Arguments

Table Returned

Column name

Data type

Description

session_id

int

Session ID of the session that holds this XML document handle.

document_id

int

XML document handle ID returned by sp_xml_preparedocument.

namespace_document_id

int

Internal handle ID used for the associated namespace document that has been passed as the third parameter to sp_xml_preparedocument. NULL if there is no namespace document.

sql_handle

varbinary(64)

Handle to the text of the SQL code where the handle has been defined.

statement_start_offset

int

Number of characters into the currently executing batch or stored procedure at which the sp_xml_preparedocument call occurs. Can be used together with the sql_handle, the statement_end_offset, and the sys.dm_exec_sql_text dynamic management function to retrieve the currently executing statement for the request.

statement_end_offset

int

Number of characters into the currently executing batch or stored procedure at which the sp_xml_preparedocument call occurs. Can be used together with the sql_handle, the statement_start_offset, and the sys.dm_exec_sql_text dynamic management function to retrieve the currently executing statement for the request.

creation_time

datetime

Timestamp when sp_xml_preparedocument was called.

original_document_size_bytes

bigint

Size of the unparsed XML document in bytes.

original_namespace_document_size_bytes

bigint

Size of the unparsed XML namespace document, in bytes. NULL if there is no namespace document.

num_openxml_calls

bigint

Number of OPENXML calls with this document handle.

row_count

bigint

Number of rows returned by all previous OPENXML calls for this document handle.

dormant_duration_ms

bigint

Milliseconds since the last OPENXML call. If OPENXML has not been called, returns milliseconds since the sp_xml_preparedocument call.

Remarks

The lifetime of sql_handles used to retrieve the SQL text that executed a call to sp_xml_preparedocument outlives the cached plan used to execute the query. If the query text is not available in the cache, the data cannot be retrieved using the information provided in the function result. This can occur if you are running many large batches.

Permissions

Requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission on the server to see all sessions or session IDs that are not owned by the caller. A caller can always see the data for his or her own current session ID.

Examples

The following example selects all active handles.

select * from sys.dm_exec_xml_handles(0)
