Saving query plan

I would like to save a query plan (estimated or actual)
created in Query Analyzer -- paste it into a document,
or simply print. It doesn't seem to be possible to
select and copy the Execution Plan window, and printing
it creates microscopic gibberish which is a waste of
paper. Is it possible to do this?

Set showplan_text is of limited help for the SP I'm
looking at -- while analyzing the SP, it reads ahead
and complains that a temp table created inside the SP
doesn't exist (yet) and exits. Using Ctrl-K to capture
the query plan allows the SP to complete, but saving the
plan is the problem.

Thanks,
Jim Geissman

SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON is what you are looking for.

You can also use Profiler, and filter for the event
Performance:Exe cution Plan.

In SQL 2005 you can actually save the graphical plan (in XML format)
from Managment Studio, the replacement for Query Analyzer and Enterprise
Manager.

After applying security patch MS03-031 (Sql server ver 8.00.818) a query that used to execute in under 2 seconds, now takes over 8 Minutes to complete. Any ideas on what the heck might be going on? I have tested this extensively and can say for certain that installing this hot fix is what has caused the performance problem. I just don't know why or how to fix it. Brian Oster

A bit of query plan strangeness. Suppose you have an inheritance tree such that the columns 'ID' and 'field' appear in the top level table, call that table XXX. tables YYY and ZZZ both inherit XXX. Now suppose there exists some query that returns a set of IDs that match some criteria (that query may involve various tests/joins/etc on other arbitrary tables). Executing that query alone produces an optimal plan and the exact result set...

Hi All, how can I improve the query performance in the following situation: I have a big (4.5+ million rows) table. One query takes approx. 9 sec to finish resulting ~10000 rows. But if I run simultaneously 4 similar queries it takes nearly 5 minutes instead of 4 times 9 seconds or something near of that. here is a sample query: select mertido, fomeazon, ertektipus, mertertek from t_me30 where fomeazon in (select distinct fomeazon...

I came across a situation that I've been unable to explain and was hoping somebody had an answer: I had written an update query which was taking about 8 seconds to run and considered it too slow. I copied the SQL statement from the query and tried executing it from code which then ran in 1 second. To make sure that I didn't miss anything, I copied the SQL statement back into a query and tried running it again. It now also only took 1...

Folks, I am having problem with an application that uses static SQL, the application basically browses through the table given start and end key most of the time it is processed from begining to end. The db2expln tells me that there is no Data or Index prefetch. I am running DB2 UDB 8 on AIX 5.3, and I am using DMS tablespace on raw logical volumes on a SAN.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
