Sessions
Ladies and gentlemen… The Query Optimizer! (ITA)
When we carry out a T-SQL statement, we expect to get the result as quickly as possible. T-SQL, like any other SQL dialects, is a declarative language that allows us to say WHAT we want the engine to do and NOT HOW it should perform the task. Basically, it is in the charge of the Query Optimizer to find, in a few fractions of second, a plan that can achieve the result quickly. In the first part of the session, we will discuss about all the possible plans related to a query analyzing both the logical and the physical plans, their characteristics and the rules that allows the creation of alternatives logically equivalent. In the second part, we will analyse all the optimization steps that the Query Optimizer really performs to find a “Good enough” plan that actually will be executed.
