# Identifying queries with nested loops
<a name="identify-queries-with-nested-loops"></a>

The following query identifies queries that have had alert events logged for nested loops. For information on how to fix the nested loop condition, see [Nested loop](query-performance-improvement-opportunities.md#nested-loop).

```
select query, trim(querytxt) as SQL, starttime 
from stl_query 
where query in (
select distinct query 
from stl_alert_event_log 
where event like 'Nested Loop Join in the query plan%') 
order by starttime desc;
```
