The Problem
Sometimes it is interesting how much CPU time your SQL Server is consuming. Well - you can look it up in the Taskmanager, but there is another solution for this: A simple query tells you the CPU time the SQL Server uses. The trick is that you query the sys.dm_os_sys_info table for it. For those who are interested: There are a lot of other tables with information about the SQL Server like memory, cache and other statistics. Have a look at the MSDN Article about the SQLServer Operating System !
