Convert Implicit and the related performance issues with SQL Server
I was a running a routine query using an equal operator on the only column of the primary key for a table and I noticed that the performance was terrible. These queries should have been flying because all I was doing was retrieving one row of data which should have been doing an index seek. When I looked at the query plan it was doing a scan instead. This tip shows you what I found and how to resolve the problem.
