Confio Ignite does wonders. It does the basics like recommending indexes where needed, but it also provides configuration advice and tracks down environment specific issues.
There's a free trial and it getting it going is pretty quick and easy. It's good to do some simultaneous SQL Logging if you are trying to track down a particular user that's causing problems with bad queries, crazy reports, or whatnot. The purchase price is reasonable if I remember correctly, but you can really get a ton of good information out of the free trial. They also have a free real-time monitor that lets you see when problem queries and bottlenecks are hitting the db. It's one of the best tools for tracking down performance issues that I've seen. http://www.confio.com/ and http://www.ignitefree.com/ On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 6:43 AM, Anandsagar Sah <[email protected]>wrote: > ** > > Frex,**** > > ** ** > > You/your DBA need to analysis column usages from select queries for > particular table to identify which columns needs indexing.
