Monitoring and Improving Performance
Using keys to improve query performance
A primary key improves performance on the following statement:
SELECT * FROM employee WHERE emp_id = 390
The Plan tab in the Results pane contains the following information:
employee <employee>
Whenever the name inside the parentheses on the Plan tab PLAN description is the same as the name of the table, it means that the primary key for the table is used to improve performance.
