Meh.

It's a very mixed bag. It can improve performance a little in some workloads. It does nothing at all in a lot of workloads. For a few, really rare workloads,...

Yes, extended events is great for this if you're comfortable working with extended events and have the skills needed to programmatically process the extended events results data.  A lot...

I'd go with either Extended Events (much less overhead than Trace AND can be filtered on capture which Trace can't do) or Query Store. If you want to capture lots...

I don't understand what you're asking. You can make batch calls from code, almost exactly the same as calling procedures. You just change the command type. SSMS is also a...

Here's a code sample showing how C# calls a stored procedure. Compare that to 'EXEC dbo.MyProc' in SSMS. One is a remote procedure call. The other is a batch...

You can rebuild and reorganize columnstore indexes the same as rowstore. The reasons you do this are different though. It's not about fragmentation, because of how columnstore indexes are defined,...

1. if one stored procedures includes many pieces of SQL Statements and when the stored procedure is called , then The Reads of RPC:Completed includes all the reads of...

One huge note, I wouldn't recommend anyone "upgrade" a server to 2014 here in 2021. There are three other versions of SQL Server after 2014. All of them offer mechanisms...

Actually, that article is a little off in what it's describing. It's not about fixed length versus not fixed length columns. It's about character (CHAR) versus variable character (VARCHAR). By...

Yeah, total agreement with Jo. It's just a question of probing the table on a regular basis to see what the status is. There is no such thing as a...

I used SQL Profiler to trace SQL scripts and got one sql statement with 53142 reads (as picture), but I executed that sql statement but found its...

Thanks for reporting back what worked.

Yeah, compat level might help, but it could also burn things down. They're probably trying to avoid dealing the change to the cardinality estimation engine that occurred in 2014 by...

One possible explanation, assuming identical parameter values, is that a plan recompile occurred. The execution from Profiler was in one plan and the execution from SSMS was in a different...
