| It will affect the users. You are clearing everything from memory, so performance will be impacted.But if there is a bad plan in cache and the query associated to the bad plan is causing performance issues, then running these actually might improve performance. We have this situation right now and are working with Microsoft to resolve it.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
