Chapter 5. Diagramming Simple SQL Queries
Look ere ye leap.John Heywood Proverbs [1546], Pt. I, Ch. 2
To convert the art of SQL tuning to a science requires a common
language, a common paradigm for describing and
solving SQL tuning problems. This book teaches, for the first time in
print in any detail, a method that has served me well and served
others I have taught over many years. I call this method the
query diagramming method.Like any new tool, the query diagramming method requires some
up-front investment from the would-be tool user. However, mastery of
this tool offers tremendous rewards, so I urge you to be patient; the
method seems hard only for a while. Soon, it will lead you to answers
you would never have found without the tool, with moderate effort,
and in the end it can become so second-nature that (like the best
tools) you forget you are using it.
