DBCC pintable

  • Has anyone used pintable before? what was

    the result?

    thanks

  • I used it with a couple small lookup tables. On our server, it didn't really provide any noticable difference.

  • I have not - wouldnt expect to matter unless you were memory constrained and it was getting dumped out of cache a lot - which shouldnt happen if its being used very often anyway.

  • I use it quite a bit and have noticed a small benefit. I have a range of security lookup tables etc and various reference data tables that I pin (total of 10mb!) to keep them in the buffer cache between larger reporting type queries. The benefit is hard to measure but if you have a lot of ram, pin them and keep a eye on your hit ratio and reads.

    Cheers
