Does an eager spool count as materialization?

Developing a gulf with it?

@ErikReasonableRatesDarling You have a backyard? Did you move to France?

I used Adobe After Effects - there was a steep learning curve

can't help but rag on their development priorities
Feb 17 18:43
@PaulWhite Thanks! Will update
Feb 17 18:05
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling I might hit my threshold and switch to something else
Feb 17 17:47
I'm halfway through a post complaing about adaptive joins in Query Store
Feb 5 15:01
you're not 'k with it?

@PaulWhite Cool! Thank you

I assume you can repro from an ssms call?
Jan 30 18:04
but no other ideas, sorry

ooooh, Azure SQL DB, that's where I think I saw it
Jan 30 17:58
gotta ask, TFs?

I don't remember if psp messes with them
Jan 30 17:53

I feel like I've seen this before, but I'm trying to remember context

@ErikReasonableRatesDarling I can see how that story bubbled up

@ErikReasonableRatesDarling Wow.

I'm a little surprised you didn't get batch mode. SO2010 or a low compat?
Jan 23 17:45
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling The top in the plan is from a top/max transformation?
Jan 22 20:28
where else might you encounter an apply running off a hash table?
Jan 22 19:21
Also frustrating is how an adaptive row threshold of 1.5 is morally equivalent to a threshold of 100k. But that's a blog post for later.
Jan 22 19:14
@ErikReasonableRatesDarling No, it started building the hash table, spilled, and then continued as a hash join despite being under the row threshold
Jan 22 17:58
TIL that adaptive join spills force the scan branch. That was interesting.

Constantly improving with a commitment to nonstop comparison with actual outcomes?
Dec 21, 2024 16:02
How does it compare to NYC? Food culture, rude people and full of tourists?

Must be all the mathematicians - they like a good proof

Dec 2, 2024 23:24
if you're wondering whether the parallel hint blocks off some transformations, see if you get the no query plan error with a use plan hint?
Dec 2, 2024 22:39
even with use plan hint?
Dec 2, 2024 13:33
Don't give Erik any ideas for his face tattoos

I like how a weird kiwi has his ear
