I've been slowly chipping away at my site querydiff.com
I got annoyed at #sqlserver management studio and made a website instead.
You can now load an example pair of #query plans to compare them. See what the site does if you don't have a query plan in a nice xml file ready to go.

Yo, #sqlserver tuners and optimizers, I have a question: under what circumstances would a #queryplan prefer a scan of a clustered index rather than a seek of a non-clustered index with the same predicate and output fields?

I've been pouring over query plans lately, trying to reduce pressure of processes in an environment that sees thousands of processes running, with hundreds at the same time, contending for data access, CPU time, and file locks.
