Query Optimization and Execution
Dmitri Korotkevitch · Apress eBooks · 2014
SQL Server Query Processor is perhaps the least visible and least well-known part of SQL Server. It does not expose a large set of the public features, and it allows very limited control in a documented and supported way. It accepts a query as input, compiles and optimizes it generating the execution plan, and executes it. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
