About Execution Plans

The execution plan displays the steps a database takes to execute a SQL statement. You can use the execution plan to determine if a statement is efficient.

Each step of the tree indicates how SQL Optimizer retrieves rows of data. The first line of the execution plan displays the SQL statement type, such as SELECT. The remaining lines represent an operation. The operations are numbered in the order of execution to make the plan easier to read.

The database executes each child operation before the parent operation. For some SQL statements, the database executes the parent operation once it retrieves a single row from the child operation. Other SQL statements require that the database retrieve all rows from the child operation before it executes the parent operation.
