Query Plans----Chapter 3
-------------------
sys.dm_exec_query_stats – returns aggregated performance statistics for a
cached query plan. Returns one row per statement within the plan
-------------------
sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats – returns aggregated performance statistics
for cached stored procedures (SQL Server 2008 only). Returns one row per
stored procedure.
-------------------
sys.dm_exec_cached_plans – provides detailed information about a cached plan,
such as the number of times it has been used, its size, and so on. Returns a row for each
cached plan
-------------------
sys.dm_exec_query_optimizer_info – returns statistics regarding the operation
of the query optimizer, to identify any potential optimization problems. For example,
you can find out how many queries have been optimized since the last time the server
was restarted.
--------------------
we need to pass the identifier for that plan batch, the plan_handle, to one of
the DMFs below.
--------
sys.dm_exec_query_plan – returns in XML format the query plan, identified
by a plan_handle, for a SQL batch.
-------
sys.dm_exec_text_query_plan – returns in text format the query plan,
identified by a plan_handle, for a SQL batch or, via the use of this DMF's offset
columns, a specific statement within that batch.
---------
sys.dm_exec_plan_attributes – provides information about various attributes of
a query plan, identified by a plan_handle, such as the number of queries currently
using a given execution plan. It returns one row for each attribute.

-------Chapter 6----Physical disk IO
--------
The write-ahead
logging mechanism used by SQL Server means that the details of INSERT, UPDATE and
DELETE transactions are always first written to the transaction log (LDF) file on disk.
A data page that contains data that has been committed to the transaction log file but
not to the data (MDF) file is referred to as a "dirty page." A process called the "lazy writer"
manages the writing of dirty pages to physical disk when there is time, or when no more
data can be placed into the cache, while another process, called the "checkpoint" process,
