Text Query Plans

In this video you will learn how to get a text version of an execution plan.

I'm currently working for FM Global, an industry leading engineering & insurance company, as a DBA. I've done development of large scale applications in languages such as VB, C# and Java. I've worked in SQL Server from the hoary days of 6.0. My nickname at work is the "The Scary DBA." I even have an official name plate with it. I wear it proudly. I was awarded a Microsoft MVP in April of '09.

I use the graphical plans all the time to compare query designs. This could be handy to get a better comparison.
