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