SQL Server is a robust and flexible database management system that offers a variety of features and capabilities to help organizations effectively manage their data. One of the key features of SQL Server is its ability to provide insights into query performance, enabling database administrators and developers to identify and resolve performance issues.
The Query Store feature in SQL Server provides insights into query plan selection and performance. It simplifies the process of troubleshooting performance issues by allowing you to quickly identify performance differences caused by changes in query plans. Query Store automatically captures a history of queries, plans, and runtime statistics and retains this information for your review. It organizes data by time windows, allowing you to see patterns in database usage and understand when changes in query plans occurred on the server.
Query Store is enabled by default for new Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance databases. It is not enabled by default for SQL Server 2016 (13.x), SQL Server 2017 (14.x), or SQL Server 2019 (15.x), but it is enabled by default in READ_WRITE mode for new databases starting with SQL Server 2022 (16.x). You can enable Query Store using the ALTER DATABASE SET option or through the Query Store page in SQL Server Management Studio.
Once enabled, Query Store begins collecting data on queries executed against the database. This data includes information on query execution times, query plans used, and resource consumption. This information can be used to identify queries that are consuming excessive resources or taking longer than expected to execute.
In addition to providing insights into query performance, Query Store also provides tools for managing query plans. For instance, if a specific query is performing poorly due to an inefficient query plan, you can use Query Store to force the use of a different plan that may provide better performance.
Query Performance Insight is another feature available for Azure SQL Database that provides intelligent analysis of queries for single and pooled databases. It helps identify the top resource-consuming and long-running queries in your workload, allowing you to optimize these queries to improve overall workload performance and make more efficient use of resources.
Query Performance Insight provides deeper insights into your databases’ resource consumption and details on top database queries by CPU, duration, and execution count. This can help you identify potential candidates for performance tuning. You can also drill down into the details of a query to view the query text and history of resource utilization. Additionally, Query Performance Insight provides annotations that show performance recommendations from database advisors.
In summary, SQL Server provides powerful tools for gaining insights into query performance and managing query plans. These tools can help database administrators and developers identify and resolve performance issues, leading to improved application performance and more efficient use of resources.
