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. 🙂
