19. Summary Many things affect query plans Try to understand the access methods Learn the tools Size matters –Bad Performance does not scale. You need to collect info before you make changes to help understand what changed and the impact of that change. Dont only focus on Runtime. Look for resource hogs, or for queries that are run frequently Good indexing strategy in some cases is critical
