Execution-Plan

Sul canale SQLPASS TV, continua la pubblicazione delle sessioni erogate al PASS Summit 2011. Questa settimana è stata pubblicata la sessione SQL Server Execution Plans (From Compilation to Caching to Reuse) tenuta da Maciej Pilecki (SQL Server MVP, MCM).

Abstract

Execution plan reuse is one of the most important aspects of building well-performing and scalable SQL Server solutions. But it’s also the one that is often overlooked during the design phase and becomes very difficult to troubleshoot later. In this session we will discuss in details the following aspects of SQL Server execution plans: compilation, re-compilation, parameterization, caching, reuse and aging. You will leave this session with full understanding of how to improve your server’s performance by increasing execution plan reuse (and how to avoid reuse in case this is necessary).

Dal portale redgate è possibile scaricare, gratuitamente (in formato PDF),  la seconda edizione dell’eBook: SQL Server Execution Plans di Grant Fritchey. Il libro in formato cartaceo è ovviamente acquistabile su Amazon.

Riporto di seguito la prefazione seguita dall’elenco dei capitoli.

Editorial Review

Every day, out in the various online forums devoted to SQL Server, and on Twitter, the same types of questions come up repeatedly: Why is this query running slowly? Why is SQL Server ignoring my index? Why does this query run quickly sometimes and slowly at others? My response is the same in each case: have you looked at the execution plan?
