Add Index Window

The Add Index window is used to create the DDL for creating of the indexes for the Index Impact Analysis.

Item

Description

Index name

Enter a name for the index. By default, the prefix of the index name is taken from the Index Expert settings in the Options window and then a random number is generated for the rest of the index name.

Note: It is best not to change the prefix for the index. The indexes are generated as virtual indexes. If the Impact Analysis process terminates abnormally and a virtual index is left on the database, it can be easily identified as a virtual index which was created by SQL Optimizer by the prefix.

Database

Select the database where the index is to be created from the database list.

Owner

Select the owner of the index from the drop-down list.

Table

Select the table where the index is to be created from the drop-down list.

Table columns

List of all the columns from the selected table.

Index columns

Move the columns to be indexed from the Table columns list by highlighting the column and clicking image\B_AddDatabaseObjects.gif.

Unique

Specify to create a unique index.

Clustered/Nonclustered

Select to create either a clustered or a nonclustered index.

 

View Index Impact Analysis Details

ClosedView the Index Impact Analysis Details Window

The Index Impact Analysis Details window displays information about the creation of the indexes and the retrieval of the access plans. The Index Impact Analysis Details window appears after the Index Impact Analysis process is completed unless the Show details on next generation checkbox in the Index Impact Analysis Details window is unchecked.

To view the Index Impact Analysis Details window

After an Index Impact Analysis is complete, select View | Last Index Impact Analysis Details when the Index Impact Analyzer window is active. 

Review this information to see if an error occurred during the retrieval of the access plan. Errors may occur if the selected SQL statements are from one schema and you have set another schema in the Schema list at the bottom left of the main window.
