Thanks, Paul, for an excellent series! I rarely give the full five stars to an article (yes, I am criticall), but you have absolutely deserved them.
I don't think I'll ever want to actually disable any optimizer rules - but as you said at the end of the article, a better understanding of internals helps me become a better SQL Server professional.

Awesome, just awesome.
Plus this:
In SQL Server 2005, SHOWOFFRULES displays a list of rules that are ON, and SHOWONRULES displays rules that are OFF, which is actually quite funny.
Just made my day!

This is really great stuff... As already mentioned a few times by others, 5 stars aint enough for this series...
Edit: The link back to the article from the forum actually points to part 3 of the series and not part 4.
Best Regards,
Chris Büttner

Hugo Kornelis (9/16/2010) Thanks, Paul, for an excellent series! I rarely give the full five stars to an article (yes, I am criticall), but you have absolutely deserved them. Fantastic! Thank you. BTW Steve Jones encouraged me to post these articles on SSC - you can find the originals on my blog, together with some other optimizer-related stuff people might find interesting...or not!
I don't think I'll ever want to actually disable any optimizer rules - but as you said at the end of the article, a better understanding of internals helps me become a better SQL Server professional. Precisely.

The four parts cover a lot of ground - did you have a particular piece of information in mind?

You already told us, you stole from your own blog :P
But as an honest guess, I think you were just exploring SQL Server, and eventually found the DMV for the rules. Of course one important piece of information is the DBCC command list, maybe you got that from http://www.novicksoftware.com/tipsandtricks/tip-sql-dbcc-help.htm or just from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176040.aspx. In general I assume there is no single source of information, just lots of experience & knowledge built over the years, and a lot of exploration to build that knowledge over time.
Or do you just have some really good contacts with MS? I am curious :)

Chris Büttner
