Speaking at Performance Virtual Chapter

Have, you noticed an important query suddenly takes longer to run? Have you noticed the execution plan looks completely different than what you normally expect for your query? Today, I talked at the Performance Virtual Chapter going over how to identify plans that change and went over options to fix them in SQL Server 2005 to 2016 by forcing plans.

Where is the Code?

As promised, the demo code is attached here.

How Can Query Store Get Better?

I would love to see Query Store have the ability to capture statistics for AG Secondaries that are enabled for read traffic. A bonus, would be the ability to force plans for AG Secondaries as well.
