Keylookup

  • Good Day. I executed a query and in its execution plan I saw a Keylookup and in the output I noticed an entry called chk0001. Non of the tables in the database has such a table . How can we go about to resolve this keylookp ? Should we rather ask the DEV team to rewrite the query ?

    Regards.

  • Hard to tell for sure what's going on without seeing the execution plan. Chk001 sounds like a column derived somewhere else within the plan. A key lookup suggests that you might need a covering index, but again, without seeing the plan, that's just vague speculation.
