Query Store and Parameterization Problems

  • Article

The query store gives us a novel way of identifying those queries that are causing performance problems when they are parameterized by SQL Server for reuse.

It is early days, of course and until we get more experience we have to rely on Microsoft's estimate of a performance impact of 3-5% on average.

With this information, you can see the effects of 'forcing' an execution plan for specific queries and get feedback of the consequences.
