Basically, from various sources, I’ve always heard that these explicit query hints should typically be designed for edge cases or specific scenarios that are tested, documented, and known to scale appropriately. Anytime you introduce hints, you are taking control from the query analyzer and indicating you know best…. This might be the case, but test test test!
OPTION(RECOMPILE) is like dynamite: use it to blow up big problems, but understand beforehand what’s going to happen.
