As I found on stack over flow, there is a clever way to automatically refresh your current query N times. This is ideal if you’re checking a running query, or trying to get a feel for how long a specific query is going to take, and you want to monitor it along the way.
SELECT GETDATE() --your query to run raiserror('',0,1) with nowait --to flush the buffer waitfor delay '00:00:10' --pause for 10 seconds GO 5 --loop 5 times
