Yeah, this makes a lot of sense to do. I hadn't thought of it like that before. I've found myself turning Execution Plan on when working on complex procedures, but I don't make it part of my regular habit. I think this practice will be good for me to start doing.

"performance" in mind. You can't really tune performance later, when your database is in production, as it involves rebuilding
tables andindexes, re-writing queries, etc. Use the graphical execution plan in Query Analyzer or SHOWPLAN_TEXT or SHOWPLAN_ALL commands to analyze your queries. Make sure your queries do
an "Index seek" instead of an "Index scan" or a "Table
scan." A table scan or an index scan is a very bad thing and should be avoided where possible. Choose the right indexes on
the right columns.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FAAC30B4-6FB1-4555-9E4E-44B269A2CCE5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
