Azure Data Studio now shows the execution plan!


Azure Data Studio, here the latest version the 1.39.1, gain some very interesting possibilities.
We can observe that now we can show the execution plan directly from the data studio and it is great!
 
Two buttons are added: Estimated plan and Enable Actual plan.
 



































Pressing the Enable Actual Plan button and executing again the Query, the Execution plan will be shown:
 


































Compared to SSMS there are also other additional functions

For example, it is now possible to graphically show which action is more expensive according to various criteria within the execution plan:



We can also compare two execution plan:

To do this operation you must save an execution plan of the first Query by doing a right click on the select operator e then click on the item save plan item.


 

Then run the second query and press the button highlighted in green:

On the new window click the button Add execution plan



Choose the file saved.

The two execution plans are compared.
Graphically you can see similar blocks hightlighed in the same color.
It is also super easy compare relative properties.



 


That's all for today and have a great week!

SQL Server, execution plan and the lazy spool (clearly explained)

Hi Guys, Welcome back! In one of the last posts we talked about Table Spool . We had explained what Spool are for by telling the somewhat curious story of the halloween problem . Here we specifically talked about a type of spool called Eager Spool   You can look to the execution plan below where the eager Spool is used to avoid the halloween problem in classic query of the "salary increase".. i suggest Well, if the story of the eager spool intrigued you, today instead we will speak about another type of Spool, the Lazy Spool . The Lazy spool Let's take a small step back. So, what is a Spool operation?  As we have already understood a spool operation is simply a temporary storage of data . Data are read from a source table and stored inside a worktable in the Tempdb database . While an Eager Spool is used to prevent the Halloween problem, the Lazy Spool is instead used to store data that will later be needed again when running a query . So, when a Lazy spool is used?  ...

SQL Server, datetime vs. datetime2

Hi guys, This time, in this post we will speak about datetime and datetime2 datatypes. We will talk about the pros and cons. We will talk about all the differences between the two types of data. Write me in the comments which type of data do you prefer between the two. Enjoy the reading!     Datetime Vs. Datetime2 First of all, it must be said that the datatype datetime is certainly the best known native format for storing a date in SQL Server. However, Microsoft has also been introducing a new type of data for many years now, also used to manage dates. It is in fact from SQL server 2008 that it is present in datetime2 data type. This "new" type of data was born primarily to have higher accuracy . Let's in fact talk about ... precision ! Datetime Certainly the datetime data type is not very precise and certainly there are many cases in which its precision is simply not sufficient. Let's see it with an example. Open the SQL Management studio (SSMS) and write the fo...

La clausola NOLOCK. Approfondiamo e facciamo chiarezza!

Ehi ragazzi! La domanda è di quelle importanti! Siete pronti per scoprire tutto ma proprio tutto sulla clausola NOLOCK?   Se la riposta è si, allora seguitemi! Oggi ne spiegheremo il funzionamento in maniera approfondita. Faremo una introduzione al concetto di tipi di LOCK Ed infine vedremo come mai una SELECT ne può bloccare un'altra. Non vi nascondo che il motivo di questo articolo è fare chiarezza. Su questo argomento si sentono spesso affermazioni “curiose” ma tra le tante questa è la prima: “ uso la SELECT con l’opzione WITH(LOCK) così non blocco le altre tabelle ”.   Ma, è proprio vero quanto affermato? Beh oggi facciamo il punto!   Buona lettura!     La clausola NOLOCK Diciamo subito per iniziare che cos’è la NOLOCK. NOLOCK è il nome di una clausola che è possibile specificare all’interno di uno statement di tipo SELECT utilizzando la seguente sintassi: SELECT * FROM TABELLA WITH (NOLOCK) Si noti che non possiamo ...
