I have been following your blog for some time now but I hadn't found that article before. I have much to learn and I appreciate those links.

Can I print that article for my personal use and to show it to my workmates?

I'm trying to help them understand the basics of the execution plans and they get confused about the order of what's happening and why. I'm performing basic training about this subject to help them improve their queries which are very slow.

Today I was confronted with an old code that joined 20 tables and then had a cursor to manage that. We successfully replace that code and improved what was once running in almost 10 minutes to 50 seconds. It still isn't optimized enough but we'll soon get there.

Thank you for the amazing articles you post.

Best regards,
