Same database, same tables, same query but running on two different servers bringing two different execution plans. plan1_server1 gets executed in under 2 secs but plan2_server2 gets executed in 8 seconds. Both returns the same number of rows. Can anybody help me out here looking at these two execution plans? What do i need to do on server 2, to get the result at the similar speed?
