/***************************************************************

Purpose: To retrieve the top N greatest query plan consumers of

physical disk on the SERVER (since the last recompile of the plan)

The following DMVs are used:

sys.dm_exec_query_stats - to actually identify the disk usage levels

sys.dm_exec_sql_text - to retrieve the original parent query plus

the specific statement that the stat applies to

NOTE: The DatabaseName and Object details are included in the results

but are not really useful when the query was ad-hoc or a prepared statement
