Execution plan

  • Hi

    I ran a query in prod box but that estimated execution plan was

    Indexscan - 75%

    Bookmarklookup - 25%

    Is it good for that query

    Thanks,


    Kindest Regards,

  • A index scan is usually bad. But a book mark lookup is indicating that you don't have enough covering index for your query.

    If you can attach your sql script and a SQL Plan that will be helpful ...

    Thanks.

  • How long does the query take to run?

  • Post table definitions, index definitions and execution plan (saved as a .sqlplan file, zipped and attached)

  • Hi,

    As Gail has suggested, please post your execution plan.

    At first glance it would seem that your query could benifit from additional indexes being added to the tables involved in your query.

    Cheers,
