Seems I managed to make it through all of April without an update to the index analysis stored procedure. It wasn’t for lack of using it with clients, but a lack of time to get the changes out the door. A few months back, I added the option to look at just duplicate index or [...]
I’m a little late getting the information from my Fargo SQL Saturday session posted, titled ”Discovering the Plan Cache“. But it’s better a little late that never. Even though it was the end of the day, the session had great turnout and lots of good questions. Reviewing my session evals, I saw quite a few high [...]
Just got done with my morning session, titled ”Discovering the Plan Cache“, for SQL Saturday Chicago #211 and wanted to get out my session deck and scripts for people. The session got pretty high marks from the attendees and people seemed to get a lot of good information and humor out of it. Probably the best [...]
This past weekend, I took a quick trek into the land of beer and cheese for the second annual Madison SQL Saturday event. The event was a great success, but can you expect less when one of the organizers is wielding a light saber. For a change this time, instead of bringing Sarah Strate (Blog | [...]
After this month’s Index Analysis update, I was contacted by a reader about the index analysis script. Reader Dick Baker let me know that he found and had a fix for an issue with the missing_index_impact column. Thanks to Dick for this fix. If you find issues or have suggestions for changes to the script, please [...]
In yesterdays duplicate index blog post, I mentioned that there would be an update to the index analysis stored procedure today. Without further ado, you can jump to the bottom and download it. There are a few things I’ve fixed from comments from people using the script and then major change is the addition of [...]
Earlier this year, I finally passed the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) for SQL Server 2008 certification. In the process of preparing for the MCM lab portion, I did a lot of studying. One of the my key resources, were the MCM Readiness Videos that SQLSkills put together a couple years back. The thing is, even if [...]
In the past couple weeks, I’ve gotten a couple reports of issues with sp_indexanalysis. The update today fixes those issues. It’s fun to finally be playing with these scripts again. I’m hoping to start writing blog posts showing the scripts in action in the next couple weeks. INDEX ANALYSIS UPDATES The main updates to the [...]
Last week I mentioned that I had put up a few new versions of my index analysis script. Turns out a few people downloaded it and found some issues. I also have been playing with it some more and noticed some quirks that were a bit irritating to me, so there are new versions of [...]
A couple years back, I wrote a few blog posts about an indexing script that I use with clients from time to time. While I provided some updates to it over the years, I haven’t pushed out anything new on it in quite some time. Seems I got distracted with an indexing book and never [...]
