How to: Create a Classifier User-Defined Function (Transact-SQL)

Create and configure the new resource pools and workload groups. Assign each workload group to the appropriate resource pool.

--- Create a resource pool for production processing
--- and set limits.
USE master
GO
CREATE RESOURCE POOL pProductionProcessing
WITH
(
     MAX_CPU_PERCENT = 100,
     MIN_CPU_PERCENT = 50
)
GO
--- Create a workload group for production processing
--- and configure the relative importance.
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP gProductionProcessing
WITH
(
     IMPORTANCE = MEDIUM
)
--- Assign the workload group to the production processing
--- resource pool.
USING pProductionProcessing
GO
--- Create a resource pool for off-hours processing
--- and set limits.

CREATE RESOURCE POOL pOffHoursProcessing
WITH
(
     MAX_CPU_PERCENT = 50,
     MIN_CPU_PERCENT = 0
)
GO
--- Create a workload group for off-hours processing
--- and configure the relative importance.
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP gOffHoursProcessing
WITH
(
     IMPORTANCE = LOW
)
--- Assign the workload group to the off-hours processing
--- resource pool.
USING pOffHoursProcessing
GO

Update the in-memory configuration.

ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE
GO

Create a table and define the start and end times for the production processing time range.

USE master
GO
CREATE TABLE tblClassificationTimeTable
(
     strGroupName     sysname          not null,
     tStartTime       time              not null,
     tEndTime         time              not null
)
GO
--- Add time values that the classifier will use to
--- determine the workload group for a session.
INSERT into tblClassificationTimeTable VALUES('gProductionProcessing', '6:35 AM', '6:15 PM')
go

Create the classifier function that uses time functions and values that can be evaluated against the times in the lookup table.

CREATE FUNCTION fnTimeClassifier()
RETURNS sysname
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
BEGIN
     DECLARE @strGroup sysname
     DECLARE @loginTime time
     SET @loginTime = CONVERT(time,GETDATE())
     SELECT TOP 1 @strGroup = strGroupName
          FROM dbo.tblClassificationTimeTable
          WHERE tStartTime <= @loginTime and tEndTime >= @loginTime
     IF(@strGroup is not null)
     BEGIN
          RETURN @strGroup
     END
--- Use the default workload group if there is no match
--- on the lookup.
     RETURN N'gOffHoursProcessing'
END
GO

Register the classifier function and update the in-memory configuration.

ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR with (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION = dbo.fnTimeClassifier)
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE
GO

Obtain the resource pool and workload group configuration by using the following query.

USE master
SELECT * FROM sys.resource_governor_resource_pools
SELECT * FROM sys.resource_governor_workload_groups
GO

Verify that the classifier function exists and is enabled by using the following queries.

--- Get the classifier function Id and state (enabled).
SELECT * FROM sys.resource_governor_configuration
GO
--- Get the classifer function name and the name of the schema
--- that it is bound to.
SELECT 
      object_schema_name(classifier_function_id) AS [schema_name],
      object_name(classifier_function_id) AS [function_name]
FROM sys.dm_resource_governor_configuration

Obtain the current runtime data for the resource pools and workload groups by using the following query.

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_resource_governor_resource_pools
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups
GO

Find out what sessions are in each group by using the following query.

SELECT s.group_id, CAST(g.name as nvarchar(20)), s.session_id, s.login_time, CAST(s.host_name as nvarchar(20)), CAST(s.program_name AS nvarchar(20))
          FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions s
     INNER JOIN sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups g
          ON g.group_id = s.group_id
ORDER BY g.name
GO

Find out which requests are in each group by using the following query.

SELECT r.group_id, g.name, r.status, r.session_id, r.request_id, r.start_time, r.command, r.sql_handle, t.text 
           FROM sys.dm_exec_requests r
     INNER JOIN sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups g
            ON g.group_id = r.group_id
     CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(r.sql_handle) AS t
ORDER BY g.name
GO

Find out what requests are running in the classifier by using the following query.

SELECT s.group_id, g.name, s.session_id, s.login_time, s.host_name, s.program_name 
           FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions s
     INNER JOIN sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups g
           ON g.group_id = s.group_id
                 AND 'preconnect' = s.status
ORDER BY g.name
GO
 
SELECT r.group_id, g.name, r.status, r.session_id, r.request_id, r.start_time, r.command, r.sql_handle, t.text 
           FROM sys.dm_exec_requests r
     INNER JOIN sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups g
           ON g.group_id = r.group_id
                 AND 'preconnect' = r.status
     CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(r.sql_handle) AS t
ORDER BY g.name
GO
