In SQL Server Management Studio 2008, when I run an estimated execution plan, I right click in the results to display the Execution Plan Analysis.

On the left of the estimated execution plan are icons that allow you to see the information about the plan. To see the text you have to hover your mouse over the icons. The text displays in tooltips. However, the tooltips disappear after a couple of seconds and I have to move my mouse away and re-hover. This makes if very difficult to read.

Is there another way or place to see this text?

Thanks!

    I found that the answer is to not use “Execution Plan Analysis”. Instead, after clicking “Display Estimated Execution Plan”, hove your mouse over the first icon in the execution plan and look at the value in “Estimated Subtree Cost”.
