            <title>Performance Tuning: Query Execution Plan</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/649454</link>
            <description>Hope that some LYN DB Expert can help me to determine which is better in term of performance&lt;br /&gt;Which to look at when determining the performance? IO, Cost or cardinality? Hash join or nested loop is better?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Index : Higher cost  , Lower cardinality , High IO Cost (3 index keys. NOT UNIQUE)&lt;br /&gt;Old  Index : Lower cost  , Higher cardinality , Lower IO Cost  (2 index keys. NOT UNIQUE)&lt;br /&gt;SQL Statment : Same for both. Just add a field into the index.&lt;br /&gt;Table size approximately : Few Million records &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/9605/cardinalityvscostpj4.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
