Query Plan

When a query goes complicated and data involved is huge, query plan reveals the query execution sequence and helps to optimize the query [1].

In MSSQL Server Management Studio, after opening a query window, one can choose "Query -> Display Estimated Execution Plan" to see the estimated query plan, and select "Include Actual Execution Plan" to show actual query plan in the result. [2] is a very good introduction.
