when store procedure recompiled last time

  • Hi There,

    I am looking to find when is a specific store procedure recomplied last time. Reason to find this is because database statistics updated everynight for the database but during the day this specific store procedure gives bad performance. If we recompile it works fine for the rest of the day. So something somewhere along the lines going wrong but I am not able to establish.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • You can get that right out of the Dynamic Management Objects (DMO). This will get that piece of data:

    SELECT deqs.creation_time FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs;

  • Thanks for your reply. I would be greatful if you can get me something where it give me the name of store procedure as well. When I am running this one it does not tell me the spr's.

    sorry if I am asking wrong thing.

    Cross apply to sys,dm_exec_sql_text

    This won't work if the sproc has the "WITH RECOMPILE" option in its definition.

    Running the following on such a proc gives me nothing:

    SELECT deqs.creation_time, dest.text

    FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs

    cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) dest

    where dest.text like '%PROCNAME%'

  • No it won't, because procs marked with recompile are never cached and hence never appear in the sys.dm_exec_query_stats DMV.

    p.s. You don't need a LIKE match for the procedure name. Use OBJECT_NAME(object_id, database_id) = 'Proc Name'

    Thanks, good point.

    So is there a way to get the answer in that case? ie. when proc last recompiled (which would be same as last time it ran).

    btw, That's not actually a recompile. It's considered to be a compile because there's no matching plan in cache. Recompiles are only when a cached plan is found to be invalid for whatever reason.
