Random jump in CPU for specific stored procedure....

  • I have a stored procedure that jumps from 1000 CPU in profiler to 5000 CPU and stays there. If I recompile the proc, it goes back down to 1000 for a few days. Any ideas on this one?

  • What if you add WITH RECOMPILE at the end of the procedure? I would be interested to know if you still get the same result with this option.

  • I will give it a try. I suspected that maybe the only option left.

  • There might be something else going on, but can't tell unless you post the sproc

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  • Please also post execution parameters that cause 1000cpu and others that make it jump to 5000.  It could well be parameter sniffing and one or more situations cause it to get a 'bad' query plan.

  • Post proc as something may be in the proc that forces a recompile and subsequently introduces the elevated CPU util.
