    Thanks ALL.

    I read a tutorial and recommend this option should be enabled for all instances. Read and still a little confusing about when I should enable or disable it.

    I will dig more.

    Cite that article please.

    I wouldn't agree that it is something that must be done on all instances. Test it first for your environment and then make a decision whether or not to implement it in prod - but certainly not just a blanket yes for all instances.

    Glenn Berry talks about it as a standard config. In general may tend to agree with it although I suppose it could take a little while longer before the plan cache "warms up." I'll typically enable it by default unless I have a captive audience where I know all data access is done through stored procs or prepared statements:

    Grant and Jonathan I think as well. It's pretty harmless as settings go.
