Degree Parallelism in Resource Governor

  • I have a query that run in 3 seconds when executed with hint OPTION (MAXDOP 1), but the same query run in 20 seconds when run without this hint and with degree parallelism configured to 1 in Workloud Group of this user in Resource Governor. The maxdop of resource governor don't work the same way of hint?

    In SQL Server 2008, if MAXDOP exceeds the value that was configured by using the Resource Governor, the Database Engine uses the Resource Governor MAXDOP value. All semantic rules that are used with the max degree of parallelism configuration option are applicable when you use the MAXDOP query hint.

    This problem occurs because the query optimizer ignores the option when it is set to a value larger than 1. Therefore, the estimated degree of parallelism computation does not include the option.

    ...

    The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 3 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1.

  • This is happening to me as well. I am using SQL Server 2012 and have resource governer configured for MAX DOP as 1 but it does not work because the query still runs in 1 min and with MAXDOP 1 option it runs in 10 seconds. Any help please?
