Welcome Optimize SQL Options Tutorial About us Third-party contributions Copyright

Generate Index Alternatives

The Optimize SQL function analyzes the input SQL statement and uses an Artificial Intelligence Engine to produce a group of semantically equivalent versions of the statement, known as SQL alternatives. You can then test run these alternatives in the SQL Optimizer window to determine the best-performing version of the SQL.

Note: The Intelligence Level setting you select affects the duration of the optimization process and the number of alternatives SQL Optimizer generates.

About Generating Index Alternatives

SQL Optimizer analyzes the following in your original SQL statement and table references to generate index alternatives:

  • SQL statement syntax
  • Related tables and indexes
  • Search arguments
  • Table join conditions

Once SQL Optimizer generates alternatives, you can test them to evaluate improvements in database performance.

Note: SQL Optimizer does not physically create indexes on your database when generating alternatives.

Test Run Index Alternatives

After SQL Optimizer generates index alternatives, you can test each alternative. When SQL Optimizer tests indexes, the indexes are physically created on the database and dropped after SQL Optimizer executes the statement. When you test run index alternatives, you must select a storage group in which to store the created indexes.
