This is a good question. Thanks. One other method one can use to demonstrate this is by evaluating the actual execution plan.Very good question, thank you. I did not try running the sample yet but I suspect that because the query is pretty simple, highlighting it in SSMS and hitting CTRL + L (to let SSMS show estimated plan) will do the trick as well because there should not be any differences between actual and estimated plans in this case.

That is likely true - haven't tried. I am just accustomed to asking for the actual execution plan that it seemed the safer route for this too.;-)
