		<description><![CDATA[The following query is a great way to get a look into how your stored procedure driven application is performing. I wouldn&#8217;t recommend running this during your peak hours. What I have done is scheduled it to run in the off hours and store into a table in my dummy DB.

		<description><![CDATA[When reviewing execution plans I often look for table scans as an indicator of an area which performance can be improved. A table scan or a clustered index scan is when the query optimizer has to search the data entirely to find the row you are requesting.  The reason this can be costly is when [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=motherofallgeeks.com&amp;blog=5421765&amp;post=120&amp;subd=motherofallgeeks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like to describe a query plan as a road map to your data. Your query plan shows you the steps the SQL Server engine is taking to fetch your data. Typical things you want to avoid in query plans are table scans, hash matching, bookmark lookups, excessive looping, spooling and excessive compute scalar operators.
