Examples

The following example returns the number of active asynchronous jobs in the background queue for each database in the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].

SELECT DB_NAME(database_id) AS [Database], COUNT(*) AS [Active Async Jobs]  
FROM sys.dm_exec_background_job_queue  
WHERE in_progress = 1  
GROUP BY database_id;  
GO
