Symptoms
Assume that you enable Automatic Query Tuning in SQL Server 2017 and 2019. When executing many concurrent stored procedures, you may encounter COMPILE blocking scenario under the following conditions:
-
Execute the stored procedure.
-
Use Query Data Store (QDS) to force the plan.
-
Run sp_recompile on the stored procedure to forcibly remove the plan from procedure cache.
-
Run the stored procedure concurrently on many separate sessions.
Cause
After forcing a plan by using Query Data Store and removing it from the procedure cache, the plan is no longer cached and concurrent execution results in compile blocking.
