Checking execution plans

Hi folks!<br /><br /><br />Does anyone knows if it’s possible to review the execution plan for a running query without generating an Estimated Execution Plan thru Query Analyzer or tracing it thru Profiler?<br /><br />Is the syscachedobjects systable useful for this? [<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-4.gif’ alt=’:p‘ />]<br /><br /><br />I saw something like this on Oracle, but nothing on SQL Server.<br /><br /><br />Thanks!
As far I know, no.
Just curiosity, why do you need that? I mean outside of SQL tools. Luis Martin
