Details:
The table statistics indicate that the tables involved have very few rows, but in reality, the row count is much higher.
Solution:
Updating statistics for the tables involved will improve performance.
Rebuild Table Statistics:
-- Execute the following query to rebuild the statistics held for the -- Proseware.Campaign and Proseware.CampaignResponse tables. ALTER TABLE Proseware.Campaign REBUILD GO ALTER TABLE Proseware.CampaignResponse REBUILD; GO
Lets re-run the query and take the execution plan.
Compare the Execution Plan:
Note that the estimated and actual row counts now match almost exactly. The query will execute faster than it did previously. The execution plan includes a suggestion for an index that would further improve query performance.
