Where is the SQL Query Analyzer in SQL Server Management Studio 2012

Question

I have some SQL thats getting run and it is taking to long to return the results / parse / display, etc. application.

I have SQL Server Management Studio 2012 installed.

Answer 1

starting from SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Management Studio is the new management tool (Enterprise manager replaced). Thus, the "New Query" tab is the place where you can write down and analyze your queries. You can see the Execution Plan, client data and so on.

SQL Query Analyzer does not exist anymore.

Answer 2

Take a look at this link http://consultingblogs.emc.com/jamiethomson/archive/2008/07/10/query-analyzer-or-management-studio.aspx

The Query Analyzer (QA) was the query tool provided with SQL Server up until SQL Server 2000. In SQL Server 2005 and above it was superseded by SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). If you would like to detect any performance problems in some of your queries you can use the execution plan to determine what is the culprit.

• Briefing of how to analyze an execution plan : https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/performance/execution-plan-basics/

Are 2 links which definately can get you going. Also take a look at this introduction to SSMS 2012 which also can be useful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YipAwZ3Riok
