No, I am not talking about Powerball or Mega-millions, if I had won either of those I don’t think there would be any reason to carry on with SQL as a career!  Just sayin’

Anyway, in an attempt to break down, track down or map out the evil of Nested Views, I came across a 4 year old post, titled Detangling Nested Views from @JenniferMcCown, 1/2 of the @MidnightDBA team.

This nifty little script, provides exactly what I need to show “the powers that be” how convoluted some nested views can be. Armed with this and SEVERAL execution plans, I hope I can convince my bosses to allow me to restrict some access around here!

Thank you Jennifer McCown!
