Scott writes "I have a stored procedure that appears to need a sp_recompile whenever the server is rebooted. Other SP's do not require this; yet the one under scrutiny has a series of UNION statements. Is this an UPDATE STATISTICS / Optimizer issue? I'm wondering if the query plan is caching part of this SP, and gets lost durring the restart.

Any assistance welcomed.

What makes you think it needs a recompile? Does it error out if you do not recompile it after a reboot? Or does it just perform poorly?

It appears that the stored procedure will execute extremely slow until the sp_recompile command is used. I've considered just creating a TSql job to run once a week to execture the command; yet really curious why this sp has a problem. The sp does have a lot of complex JOINS and a UNION which could be lost when the execution plan is lost durring a re-boot. Not sure.
