哪个 SQL 查询更快过滤加入条件或 Where 子句

比较这两个查询.将筛选器放在联接条件或WHERE子句中更快吗.我一直觉得它在加入标准上更快，因为它会在最短的时间内减少结果集，但我不确定.

我将构建一些测试来查看，但我还想了解哪些测试更清晰易读.

Query 1

SELECT      *
FROM        TableA a
INNER JOIN  TableXRef x
        ON  a.ID = x.TableAID
INNER JOIN  TableB b
        ON  x.TableBID = b.ID
WHERE       a.ID = 1            /* <-- Filter here? */

Query 2

SELECT      *
FROM        TableA a
INNER JOIN  TableXRef x
        ON  a.ID = x.TableAID
        AND a.ID = 1            /* <-- Or filter here? */
INNER JOIN  TableB b
        ON  x.TableBID = b.ID

EDIT

我进行了一些测试，结果表明它实际上非常接近，但WHERE子句实际上稍微快一点！=)

我完全同意在WHERE条款上应用过滤器更有意义，我只是好奇它对性能的影响.
