SQL Server Management Studio, how to get execution time down to milliseconds

Question

When I submit a batch (e.g., perform a query) in SSMS, I see the time it took to execute in the status bar. Is it possible to configure SSMS to show the query time with mill

Answer 1

I was after the same thing and stumbled across the following link which was brilliant:

http://www.sqlserver.info/management-studio/show-query-execution-time/

It shows three different ways of measuring the performance. All good for their own strengths. The one I opted for was as follows:

---

DECLARE @Time1 DATETIME

DECLARE @Time2 DATETIME

SET @Time1 = GETDATE()

-- Insert query here

SET @Time2 = GETDATE()

SELECT DATEDIFF(MILLISECOND,@Time1,@Time2) AS Elapsed_MS

---

This will show the results from your query followed by the amount of time it took to complete.

Hope this helps.
