Enabling and configuring Query Store

As with all new features, Query Store is not active for a database by default. You can enable and configure it in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) by using the database properties (Query Store page) or by using Transact-SQL. To enable Query Store, your account must be the db_owner of the database or a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.
