Examples

To find a count of active sessions:

SELECT active_count = COUNT(session_Id)
FROM sys.dm_pdw_exec_sessions
WHERE status = 'ACTIVE';

To find sessions that have been open for longer than 10 minutes:

SELECT *, session_duration_s = DATEDIFF (s, login_time, getdate() ) 
 FROM sys.dm_pdw_exec_sessions
 WHERE DATEDIFF (s, login_time, getdate() ) > 600; -- 10 minutes
