A Look at SQL Plan Management

The goal of SQL Plan Management is to provide a consistent execution plan regardless of changes made to the database environment. While consistency is great in the face of changes to an environment, it is important not to miss out when changes would improve the runtime execution.

COLLABORATE 13 à la Pythian …

As per many previous IOUG/OAUG/Quest shows, Pythian is will be in Denver next week!
