Hi
I'm working in query analyzer and I'm getting these small yellow blobs with
3 pointy arrows that I haven't seen before and I don't know what they mean -
they appear on most of the icons - any idea what this means?

Paul,

If you are talking about the graphical query plan display,
I think you are describing the icons for a parallel plan. Is
it possible that the server hardward was recently upgraded
from 1 to more than one CPU (which could be physical,
dual-core, or hyperthreading)? Do any of the popups
say things like "gather streams" or give other indications
of a parallel plan?
