First two Query form examples. |
Printed as:
You can indicate that specific parameters or variables should be assumed as unknown for
optimization by using the following form:
<query> OPTION(OPTIMIZER FOR(@p1 UNKNOWN, @p2 UNKNWON, ...);
You can also indicate that all parameters and variables in the query should be assumed as
unknown for optimization by using the following form:
<query> OPTION(OPTIMIZER FOR UNKNWON);
Should be:
You can indicate that specific parameters or variables should be assumed as unknown for
optimization by using the following form:
<query> OPTION(OPTIMIZE FOR(@p1 UNKNOWN, @p2 UNKNWON, ...);
You can also indicate that all parameters and variables in the query should be assumed as
unknown for optimization by using the following form:
<query> OPTION(OPTIMIZE FOR UNKNOWN);
(Differences:-
1. 'OPTIMIZER' should be 'OPTIMIZE' in bohth query forms
2. Typo 'UNKNWON' in 2nd query form)
Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed.
* Both references to "OPTIMIZER FOR" should be replaced with "OPTIMIZE FOR"
* Reference to "UNKNWON" should be replaced with "UNKNOWN"
Thanks for reporting this!
Cheers,
