Understanding the Execution Plan [ When Table JOIN occurs Part-III ]

Introduction

Continuing our journey here we see some others operators exist in our execution plan. Here is the query and Execution Plan that we are working from couple of weeks.

Example Query

SELECT e.JobTitle, a.City,
       p.LastName + ', ' + p.FirstName AS EmployeeName

FROM   HumanResources.Employee AS e

       INNER JOIN Person.BusinessEntityAddress AS bea

                       ON e.BusinessEntityID =bea.BusinessEntityID

       INNER JOIN Person.Address a ON bea.AddressID =a.AddressID

       INNER JOIN Person.Person AS p
             ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID;

Execution Plan

Compute Scalar

First of all it is not a join operation. As it is covered in our Execution Plan, so we must discuss about it. Here we see the properties of the Compute Scalar.

It is represent a operation named Scalar, generally used for calculation purpose. In our case the alias Employeename = ContactLastname + Conatct.FirstName with comma operators between them. If we look at the property, it is not a 0 cost operators (0.001997).

If we look at the property Expr1008 and click at the ellipsis on the right side of the property page this will open the expression.
