Here's a wierd one. In spite of all the queries we are running. Our sys.dm_exec_query_stats is empty. Our sys.syscacheobjects has only 4 records, all from DBID 32767. And every query/stored proc call seems to be recompiling. Anyone have any ideas?

Databases in autoclose?
Restores running (log shipping)

Any messages about cache flush in error log?

Thankyou. I will look into the log shipping. We got some new software running - DSClient - it has something to do with backups.

Not backups. Restores. Restore flushes the proccache, backup doesn't.

What's max memory set to and how much memory is available?

Memory is good (max = 7000). Total Pages is 860,000. This funny stuff just started happening recently.

I stopped and restarted SQL Server and that worked! Not sure how this happened in the first place. See what happens tomorrow.

I don't think it was a restore issue. It seemed like queries were getting wiped out of the cache always and in under a second, all Databases. I also checked autoclose - it was false.

Thankyou. I looked in the error log and didn't notice anything that could of caused this weird problem. There were a few instances of 'Server has encountered %d occurrence(s) of cachestore flush for the '%s' cachestore'. But I sometimes call the clear proc cache on purpose when testing. The problem I had yesterday wasn't a case of the cache being cleared out occasionally, it was wiping out after an instant of executing anything and everything.
