                                            | Hi all,Is the execution plan that SQL Server uses to process a query dependant on the volume of data in the tables?Or is it purely based on the schema of the tables and the indexes on those tables.Thanks. |  |

                                          | The query plan should depend on the statistics which will depend on the volume (and distribution) of data.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
