Hi Mike,
You checked the cost for each index from the output.
Please check them beginning with PopNlJoin, PopMergeJoin, etc.
You can see them after "START NEW COSTING" and "END NEW COSTING" block
START NEW COSTING
...
END NEW COSTING
( PopNlJoin ( PopRidJoin ( PopIndScan csysindexes sysindexes ) ) ( PopRidJoin ( PopIndScan csysobjects sysobjects ) ) )
Unfortunately there is no document to explain output of set option show_*.
Thanks,
Jongun Seo
