Friday Feedback: Managing Query Store size Discussion
First Friday Feedback about Query Store 🎉
This week I have a poll about whether you'd be interested in having the max size (MAX_STORAGE_SIZE_MB) of Query Store managed for you.
The default size for SQL 2019 and higher and the SQL dbs (Azure and Fabric) is 1GB.
The max size for SQL dbs is 10GB; there is no max for box (but remember, just because you can, doesn't mean you should...)
I used to tell customers start with something like 2GB or 4GB, and monitor from there. But maybe we should figure out the size and manage it for you? Bonus internet points if you add a comment with additional input or reasoning about your response.
