SQL Server 2012 Client Statistics Incorrect When I run my query, I get the following Client Statistics Results :-

Number of SELECT statements = 2


The query being ran is only 1 SELECT statement :-

SELECT TOP 1000000 * FROM [DATABASE].[SCHEMA].[TABLE]  


My client statistics returned on the server claiming 2 SELECT statements looks like this :-    







Can someone explain why it would show as 2 SELECT statements ?

I have also used SQL Profiler to trace this as its being ran, and there was no second query
Retrieving the execution plan is a call as well (this is why you can see an additional 1 row(s) affected message in the messages pane as well). Try again without the execution plan option.
