Execution Plan, SQL
Easy way to read XML execution plans.
Posted by: Denny Cherry
Take your XML execution plan and save it to a file with a file extension of sqlplan (such as MyQuery.sqlplan) and double click on it. It will open in the SQL Server Management Studio and show you the plan in the GUI plan viewer making it much easier to read than the XML version.
