David Pless takes us through some new query hints:
Query Store hints provide a direct method for developers and DBAs to shape query plans without changing application code.
Query Store hints are a new feature that extends the power of Query Store—but this means that Query Store hints does require the Query Store feature to be enabled and that your query and query plan are captured in the Query Store.
Just like plan guides, Query Store hints are persisted and will survive restarts, but Query Store hints are much easier to use than plan guides.
