Currently executing queries

It is important to know what is currently executing in SQL Server at any given time. You may need this for troubleshooting purposes. The below query is useful in such occasions;

SELECT sqltext.TEXT,
req.session_id,
req.status,
req.command,
req.cpu_time,
req.total_elapsed_time,
s.login_name,
s.host_name,
req.wait_type,
req.wait_resource,
SUBSTRING(sqltext.text, (req.statement_start_offset/2)+1,
        ((CASE req.statement_end_offset
          WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(sqltext.text)
         ELSE req.statement_end_offset
         END - req.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) AS statement_text,
req.plan_handle,
sqltext.text
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests req
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions s
    ON req.session_id=s.session_id
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) AS sqltext
ORDER BY req.cpu_time DESC
