Baseline Template (Example)

SQL_ID	Date	Avg Elapsed (s)	Avg Rows	Avg Buff Gets	Avg Disk Reads	Plan Hash
abcd1234	2025-05-02	2.8	14,200	28,000	64	872349876

Tip:

Automate this for key queries with a scheduled job.

If you care about a query, baseline it. You’ll thank yourself later when something changes—and you need to prove it.
