What is an execution plan? When would you use it?
Answer / Jagesh Kumar
An execution plan in SQL Server is a visual representation of the steps taken to execute a query, including index usage, join operations, and query optimizations. It helps identify bottlenecks, compare different query versions, and understand resource consumption. You can use an execution plan when you want to analyze query performance, optimize slow queries, or troubleshoot database issues.
