I'm wondering why (book, website etc...) could I learn how to read the query
execution plans and subsequently modify to enhance the performance of the
queries.

Thanks for you reply.

Hi,

The best source I have seen for this topic is the book 'Inside SQL Server
2005: Query Tuning and Optimization' by Kalen Delaney et al. It has two great
chapters with more than 170 pages dedicated to this topic.

Hope this helps,

It is interesting to note that Shiju recommended the Craig Freedman's SQL
Server Blog and the 2 chapters from the book I recommended, one is written by
Craig Freedmand and the second one is written by both Kalen Delaney and Craig
Freedman.

Yeah correct. I highly recommend all the four books of Inside SQL
server 2005. To understand the Plan you should read the 3rd chapter of
T-SQL Querying before 3rd and 4th chapter of Query Tuning and
Optimization.

Thanks
Shiju Samuel.
