Last executed queries for a specific database

Question

I know how to get the last executed queries using the following SQL in SSMS -

SELECT deqs.last_execution_time AS [Time], dest.text AS [Query]
FROM sys.dm_exe         


        

Answer 1

This works for me to find queries on any database in the instance. I'm sysadmin on the instance (check your privileges):

SELECT deqs.last_execution_time AS [Time], dest.text AS [Query], dest.*
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest
WHERE dest.dbid = DB_ID('msdb')
ORDER BY deqs.last_execution_time DESC

This is the same answer that Aaron Bertrand provided but it wasn't placed in an answer.
