Hi,
I have a small web app that basically provides a Search Engine-like keyword entry to search approx. 50k documents stored in directories, which I access through a Filetable Query on SQL server 2012.
I get great performance on this - typically less than half a second. Except for the first query of the day - it takes over 30 seconds. Then same or different keywords will be back under half a second.
What could SQL Server be initializing? Does anyone else see this kind of behaviour?
I added a schedule to populate the Full-text catalog at 06:00 every day but that made no difference.
Any help appreciated.
