sys.dm_db_tuning_recommendations (Transact-SQL)

[!INCLUDEtsql-appliesto-ss2017-asdb-xxxx-xxx-md]

Returns detailed information about tuning recommendations.

In [!INCLUDEssSDSfull], dynamic management views cannot expose information that would impact database containment or expose information about other databases the user has access to. To avoid exposing this information, every row that contains data that doesn’t belong to the connected tenant is filtered out.

Column name Data type Description
name nvarchar(4000) Unique name of recommendation.
type nvarchar(4000) The name of the automatic tuning option that produced the recommendation, for example, FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN
reason nvarchar(4000) Reason why this recommendation was provided.
valid_since datetime2 The first time this recommendation was generated.
last_refresh datetime2 The last time this recommendation was generated.
state nvarchar(4000) JSON document that describes the state of the recommendation. Following fields are available:
- currentValue - current state of the recommendation.
- reason – constant that describes why the recommendation is in the current state.
is_executable_action bit 1 = The recommendation can be executed against the database via [!INCLUDEtsql_md] script.
0 = The recommendation cannot be executed against the database (for example: information only or reverted recommendation)
is_revertable_action bit 1 = The recommendation can be automatically monitored and reverted by Database engine.
0 = The recommendation cannot be automatically monitored and reverted. Most "executable" actions will be "revertable".
execute_action_start_time datetime2 Date the recommendation is applied.
execute_action_duration time Duration of the execute action.
execute_action_initiated_by nvarchar(4000) User = User manually forced plan in the recommendation.
System = System automatically applied recommendation.
execute_action_initiated_time datetime2 Date the recommendation was applied.
revert_action_start_time datetime2 Date the recommendation was reverted.
revert_action_duration time Duration of the revert action.
revert_action_initiated_by nvarchar(4000) User = User manually unforced recommended plan.
System = System automatically reverted recommendation.
revert_action_initiated_time datetime2 Date the recommendation was reverted.
score int Estimated value/impact for this recommendation on the 0-100 scale (the larger the better)
details nvarchar(max) JSON document that contains more details about the recommendation. Following fields are available:

planForceDetails
- queryId - query_id of the regressed query.
- regressedPlanId - plan_id of the regressed plan.
- regressedPlanExecutionCount - Number of executions of the query with regressed plan before the regression is detected.
- regressedPlanAbortedCount - Number of detected errors during the execution of the regressed plan.
- regressedPlanCpuTimeAverage - Average CPU time consumed by the regressed query before the regression is detected.
- regressedPlanCpuTimeStddev - Standard deviation of CPU time consumed by the regressed query before the regression is detected.
- recommendedPlanId - plan_id of the plan that should be forced.
- recommendedPlanExecutionCount- Number of executions of the query with the plan that should be forced before the regression is detected.
- recommendedPlanAbortedCount - Number of detected errors during the execution of the plan that should be forced.
- recommendedPlanCpuTimeAverage - Average CPU time consumed by the query executed with the plan that should be forced (calculated before the regression is detected).
- recommendedPlanCpuTimeStddev Standard deviation of CPU time consumed by the regressed query before the regression is detected.

implementationDetails
- method - The method that should be used to correct the regression. Value is always TSql.
- script - [!INCLUDEtsql_md] script that should be executed to force the recommended plan.

Remarks

Information returned by sys.dm_db_tuning_recommendations is updated when database engine identifies potential query performance regression, and is not persisted. Recommendations are kept only until [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] is restarted. Database administrators should periodically make backup copies of the tuning recommendation if they want to keep it after server recycling.

currentValue field in the state column might have the following values:

Status Description
Active Recommendation is active and not yet applied. User can take recommendation script and execute it manually.
Verifying Recommendation is applied by [!INCLUDEssde_md] and internal verification process compares performance of the forced plan with the regressed plan.
Success Recommendation is successfully applied.
Reverted Recommendation is reverted because there are no significant performance gains.
Expired Recommendation has expired and cannot be applied anymore.

JSON document in state column contains the reason that describes why is the recommendation in the current state. Values in the reason field might be:

Reason Description
SchemaChanged Recommendation expired because the schema of a referenced table is changed.
StatisticsChanged Recommendation expired due to the statistic change on a referenced table.
ForcingFailed Recommended plan cannot be forced on a query. Find the last_force_failure_reason in the sys.query_store_plan view to find the reason of the failure.
AutomaticTuningOptionDisabled FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN option is disabled by the user during verification process. Enable FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN option using ALTER DATABASE SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING (Transact-SQL) statement or force the plan manually using the script in [details] column.
UnsupportedStatementType Plan cannot be forced on the query. Examples of unsupported queries are cursors and INSERT BULK statement.
LastGoodPlanForced Recommendation is successfully applied.
AutomaticTuningOptionNotEnabled [!INCLUDEssde_md] identified potential performance regression, but the FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN option is not enabled – see ALTER DATABASE SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING (Transact-SQL). Apply recommendation manually or enable FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN option.
VerificationAborted Verification process is aborted due to the restart or Query Store cleanup.
VerificationForcedQueryRecompile Query is recompiled because there is no significant performance improvement.
PlanForcedByUser User manually forced the plan using sp_query_store_force_plan (Transact-SQL) procedure.
PlanUnforcedByUser User manually unforced the plan using sp_query_store_unforce_plan (Transact-SQL) procedure.

Statistic in the details column do not show runtime plan statistics (for example, current CPU time). The recommendation details are taken at the time of regression detection and describe why [!INCLUDEssde_md] identified performance regression. Use regressedPlanId and recommendedPlanId to query Query Store catalog views to find exact runtime plan statistics.

Using tuning recommendations information

You can use the following query to get the T-SQL script that will fix the issue:

SELECT name, reason, score,
		JSON_VALUE(details, '$.implementationDetails.script') as script,
		details.* 
FROM sys.dm_db_tuning_recommendations
	CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(details, '$.planForceDetails')
				WITH (	query_id int '$.queryId',
						regressed_plan_id int '$.regressedPlanId',
						last_good_plan_id int '$.recommendedPlanId') as details
WHERE JSON_VALUE(state, '$.currentValue') = 'Active'

For more information about JSON functions that can be used to query values in the recommendation view, see JSON Support in [!INCLUDEssde_md].

Permissions

On [!INCLUDEssNoVersion_md], requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission.
On [!INCLUDEssSDS_md], requires the VIEW DATABASE STATE permission in the database.
