This object provides very useful stats on how many times an index has been used, locked, waited on, etc.

SQL Minds, out of North Carolina, is claiming many things, but not admitting their relaltionship to a STOCK SCAM called Vision Technology Corp. Plamen Slavov (Product Manager) is a realtor from Florida, not an SQL guy, or even an IT guy.

Ivan Ivanov, CEO of SQL Minds is also the CTO and board member of Vision Technology Corp (VSTC), and is also the CEO of Data Consulting Group (SQL Minds one and only testimonial and the "beta" customer announced by VSTC.. meaning they are beta'ing their own stuff) THIS IS A SCAM.

cites, facts, research, analysis.. over 9 months of inside information. INVESTOR AND SQL COMMUNITY BEWARE. SQL Minds is a scam.

Would you like to know more about what the inner workings of your MS SQL Server 2005 box?

There are a 50+ reports. Some of them address basic questions such as slowest queries, missing indexes, and most expensive queries (Note: while this information is basic, it is still NOT available in the other software packages on the market, who are claiming to “monitor”, “optimize” and “tune” MS SQL database deployments.)The software also provides variety of other information via its UI such as hardware configuration, NUMA node presence, scheduling details, low level session information, database objects storage and usage details, etc.

This is a great article! Keep posts like this coming ;-)

I too see indexes on completely useless fields but the problem is that sometimes indexes may seem usefull but in reality they might be unused. This is very hard to capture in SQL Server 2000. The new DMV's make this a very easy job.

Very useful article. I wish more developers knew how to evaluate index usefulness. I administer some databases created by software that include indexes on bit value columns ...

I cannot see the items that Terry Grigon reported missing either ... tried IE, Netscape, Firefox, and Opera. Perhaps they are not there?
