Tom Zika digs into a query hint:
Like Dwarves of Moria, I delved too greedily and too deep. I found the answer in a Plan Caching and Recompilation in SQL Server 2012 whitepaper before trying it out on my own. Relevant excerpt:
KEEP PLAN
The KEEP PLAN query hint changes the recompilation thresholds for temporary tables, and makes them identical to those for permanent tables. Therefore, if changes to temporary tables are causing many recompilations, this query hint can be used.
But since it doesn’t show the proof, I decided to test it out anyway.
And it’s a good thing, too, as it turns out this isn’t quite how things work anymore.
