You support an application that stores data in a Microsoft SQL Server database. You have a query that returns data for a rep
ort that users run frequently.
The query optimizer sometimes generates a poorly-performing plan for the query when certain parameters are used. You observe that this is due to the distribution of data within a specific table that the query uses.
You ne
ed to ensure that the query optimizer always uses the query plan that you prefer.
Solution: You add the KEEPFIXED PLAN query hint to the query.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Explanation:
KEEPFIXED PLAN forces the query
optimizer not to recompile a query due to changes in statistics. Specifying KEEPFIXED PLAN makes sure that a query will be recompiled only if the schema of the underlying tables is changed or if sp_recompile is executed against those tables.
