RETURN operator

This operator represents the return of data from a query.

Operator name: RETURN

Represents: The return of data from a query to the user. This is the final operator in the access plan graph and shows the total accumulated values and costs for the access plan.

This operator represents a necessary operation.

Performance Suggestion:
  • Ensure that you have used predicates that retrieve only the data you need. For example, ensure that the selectivity value for the predicates represents the portion of the table that you want returned.
