| Presentation abstract: | An execution plan describes the operations carried out by the SQL engine to execute a SQL statement. Every time you have to analyze a performance problem related to a SQL statement, or simply question the decisions taken by the query optimizer, you must know the execution plan. Whenever you deal with an execution plan, you carry out three basic actions: you obtain it, you interpret it, and you judge its efficiency. The aim of this session is to describe in detail how you should perform these three actions. |
