SQL SERVER – Stream Aggregate Showplan Operator – Reason of Compute Scalar before Stream Aggregate February 5, 2010 by pinaldave | Edit I keep a check on the questions received from my readers; when any question crosses my threshold, I surely try to blog about it online. Stream Aggregate is a quite commonly encountered showplan operator. I have often found it in very simple COUNT(*) operation’s execution plan. If you like to read an official note on the subject, you can read the same on Book Online over here. The Stream Aggregate operator groups rows by one or more columns and then calculates one or more aggregate expressions returned by the query. Click more for further story. read more...

Validating Architecture with Visual Studio 2010 (blogs.lessthandot.com)

submitted by SQL_Menace(4885) 10 days, 15 hours ago

I went to a local MS launch event for Visual Studio today, mainly to see what was new with Team Foundation Server, but what really impressed me was some of the new architecture tools they've added. I admittedly haven't read too much about this before today (my needs have been well-served by NDepend) but I'm happy to see some improved architecture tools find their way into Visual Studio. Looking at the version comparison chart, it appears this is only available in the Ultimate version. read more...

published 12 days, 12 hours ago, submitted by pinaldave(6378) 14 days, 19 hours ago

Please note that there are many other factors for query to not perform well; expired statistics are one of them for sure. read more...
