Different SQL queries used to monitor SQL server

--to verify name of DMV OR DMF

select name,TYPE,
type_desc from sys.system_objects so
where so.name like 'dm_%'
order by so.name;

--returns the SQL text of all cached entries that have been used more than once.

SELECT usecounts, cacheobjtype, objtype, text

--returns the query plans of all cached triggers
SELECT plan_handle, query_plan, objtype
FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans

GO
--returns the SET options with which the plan was compiled
SELECT plan_handle, pvt.set_options, pvt.sql_handle

How do I find all the tables that do not have a clustered index in a specified database?

--Before you run the following queries, replace <database_name> with a valid database

name.

FROM sys.tables AS t

)
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;
GO
