| I have 2 servers: prod and localhost (my local). Both running same sql server version and sp1 ...when run the same query on both servers and I look at the execution plan (control + L) the production one shows an extra icon called Parallelism. Anyone knows why? |

| Because the production one is running in parallel (over multiple CPU cores) and the local one is not. Do you have more than one CPU core in your local machine? If so, is SQL allowed to use more than one (and is it SQL Express)?--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
