How do I obtain a Query Execution Plan in SQL Server?

Question

In Microsoft SQL Server how can I get a query execution plan for a query / stored procedure?

Answer 1

Like with SQL Server Management Studio (already explained), it is also possible with Datagrip as explained here.

1. Right-click an SQL statement, and select Explain plan.
2. In the Output pane, click Plan.
3. By default, you see the tree representation of the query. To see the query plan, click the Show Visualization icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U
