Is there a SQL Server equivalent to PostgreSQL's EXPLAIN
command that I can run on SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (ie. without SQL Profiler)?
PostgreSQL is an object-relational database, while Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database system. This means PostgreSQL offers more complex data types and allows object inheritance, though it also makes working with PostgreSQL more complex.
PostgreSQL doesn't support in-memory database creation. SQL Server uses an optimistic strategy to handle memory-optimized tables, which means they can participate in transactions along with ordinary tables. Memory-based transactions are faster than regular ones, and this allows a drastic increase in application speed.
Server operating systems for PostgreSQL are FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, Solaris, Unix and Windows. 8. In MS SQL Server, partitioning methods are Horizontal partitioning and Sharding through federation. In PostgreSQL, partitioning can be done by range, list and hash.
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that uses Structured Query Language (SQL) in addition to its own procedural language, PL/pgSQL. PostgreSQL is easy-to-use with a full stack of RDBMS database features and capabilities for handling data.
You should use SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON before submitting your query to display the execution plan. Do note, though, that it is scheduled to be removed in favour of SHOWPLAN_XML in a future version.
