What is option Querytraceon 9481?

The plan is to use “OPTION(QUERYTRACEON 9481)” at the individual statement level to deal with queries that don’t play nice with the new CE. Not as a permanent fix, but as a means to get over the hump (rewriting every impacted procedure is simply outside the scope of the current project).

What is legacy cardinality estimation in SQL Server?

From SQL Server 2014, the New Cardinality Estimator was introduced for database compatibility level 120 and greater. The New CE changes several assumptions from the legacy CE in the model that is used by the Query Optimizer when it estimates cardinality for different operators and predicates.

What is trace flag 8020 in SQL Server?

Trace flag 8020 removes the size of the working set memory from consideration when SQL Server interprets the global memory state signals.

What is the default threshold for a rowgroup trace flag?

The default threshold is 10% of the maximum row limit (1 million), or of 100,000 rows. This trace flag changes the threshold to 10% of the total current rows in a columnstore rowgroup. For example, if a rowgroup contains 20,000 rows, the threshold will be 2,000 deleted rows before this rowgroup is considered for cleanup.

What does trace flag 836 do in SQL Server?

Trace flag 836 causes SQL Server to size the buffer pool at startup based on the value of the max server memory option instead of based on the total physical memory. You can use trace flag 836 to reduce the number of buffer descriptors that are allocated at startup in 32-bit Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) mode.
