I had to execute a query on my system and wondered how a parallel execution on single processor differs from executing the same in multiple processor,so i have used this small fragent or so colled option to force my query to run on single processor, surprisingly the results where faster when compared to multi processor execution .. Also do rember this does not apply to all queries, will be trying to find the reason for this abnormal but awesome behaviour
So how to Force Execute on Single processor?
At the end of your query just give
OPTION (MAXDOP 1)
Example:
Select *
From DB
OPTION (MAXDOP 1)
Try it out and see performance difference using the Execution Plan Tab on VS!
