CPU utilization by database?

Question

Is it possible to get a breakdown of CPU utilization by database?

I\'m ideally looking for a Task Manager type interface for SQL server, but instead

Here's a query that will show the actual database causing high load. It relies on the query cache which might get flushed frequently in low-memory scenarios (making the query less useful).

select dbs.name, cacheobjtype, total_cpu_time, total_execution_count from
    (select top 10
        sum(qs.total_worker_time) as total_cpu_time,  
        sum(qs.execution_count) as total_execution_count, 
        count(*) as  number_of_statements,  
        qs.plan_handle
    from  
        sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs 
    group by qs.plan_handle
    order by sum(qs.total_worker_time) desc
    ) a
inner join 
(SELECT plan_handle, pvt.dbid, cacheobjtype
FROM (
    SELECT plan_handle, epa.attribute, epa.value, cacheobjtype
    FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans 
        OUTER APPLY sys.dm_exec_plan_attributes(plan_handle) AS epa
     /* WHERE cacheobjtype = 'Compiled Plan' AND objtype = 'adhoc' */) AS ecpa 
PIVOT (MAX(ecpa.value) FOR ecpa.attribute IN ("dbid", "sql_handle")) AS pvt
) b on a.plan_handle = b.plan_handle
inner join sys.databases dbs on dbid = dbs.database_id
