| What is the effect of having a few queries using Read Committed isolation level where the database is set to RCSI? Will those dumb Read Committed queries block any others? |
| Do you have any suggestions for optimizing data retrieval using Full Text Search (FullTextMatch TVF)? We’ve tried cutting down the query to reduce the dataset using other parameters before the FTS bit and also breaking out FTS across multiple columns to do one at a time, but anything else? Also, the memory used by FullTextMatch is hard to define. Should we reduce the size of the BufferPool to give more to FTS or the other way around? Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk on FTS. |
| If I were to want to kill all the table partitions by fire, what brand of flamethrower do you recommend? |
| Do you know of any documentation that makes it very obvious what Max Server Memory controls? It’s changed across versions. I think it used to just be the buffer pool? |
| I am writing C# classes and building CLRs for string comparisons, then creating a TVF for execution. The TVF is creating row estimates of exactly 1000x my row actuals (2 rows creates a “2 of 2000” for example). No query hints seem to resolve this, how would you work to control these estimates from my compiled C#? |

| What are your top recommended books on SQL server performance tuning for someone planning to explore this field for the first time? |
| How are you Eric? I have a stored procedure that reads data from tables with (option recompile). Initially, the execution plan indicated that some tables lacked statistics, displaying a warning sign. After updating the statistics, the warning sign disappeared. However, the procedure always times out on its first run each day, but subsequent calls are successful. Please advise. |
| I suspect some tables are not getting accurate stats with the default sampling rate. How would you recommend confirming this and finding a better value to set for persisted_sample_percent if I’m right? |
| If I remove a very large non-clustered index what is the impact on the transaction log? |
| You seem to default to turning on SORT_IN_TEMPDB. Why? |
