Continuing an existing Analyzer using the Analyzer's selected SQL

Select this option to use the same set of SQL statements that is stored in an existing Analyzer. This option adds another Scenario under an existing Analyzer and does not retrieve a new set of query plans for the SQL statements. It uses the query plans that were originally saved with the SQL statements.

Do not drop the indexes after the analysis is finished

Specific to leaves the new indexes that you create under the Index tab after the analysis is finished. Otherwise, these changes are dropped at the end of the analysis processing. After the analysis is complete, the Create/Drop Indexes button displays at the top of the Index Impact Analyzer window which displays the Create Indexes, Drop Indexes, and the Drop All Indexes panes. These panes contain the scripts to create or drop the indexes.

New Analysis Wizard: Select SQL Page

Index Impact Analyzer > Create an Index Impact Analyzer > New Analysis Wizard: Select SQL Page

In the New Analysis wizard, the Select SQL page is used to select the SQL statements whose query plans you want to analyze in order to review the impact on their performance that the creation of new indexes would have.

Select SQL to check for performance changes:

Select SQL from

The SQL statements used in an analysis can be taken from the SQL Repository or the SQL Scanner. If you select SQL statements from the SQL Scanner, these statements are added to the SQL Repository.

Select the SQL statements for the analysis. If you select SQL statements from the SQL Scanner, the bottom portion of this section displays the SQL Repository folder so that you can select the folder where they will be stored.

SQL query plans to be analyzed:

In order to analyze the impact the proposed indexes might have on the performance of the SQL statements, the Index Impact Analyzer compares the query before the indexes are created to the plans after the indexes are created. The query plans from before the analysis can be obtained two ways:

Using existing query plan saved with the SQL

This option uses the query plan that was saved with the SQL statement when it was saved in the SQL Repository or SQL Scanner.

Obtaining a new query plan under the current connection

This option retrieves the query plan with the current logon and the current database settings. This current query plan is compared to the query plan that is retrieved after the new indexes are created.

Query plans will be grouped under a Scenario

An individual Index Impact Analyzer consists of a group of stored SQL statements with the query plans called the "Baseline Plan." The actual Impact Analysis displays in a "Scenario." A Scenario shows the comparison information for the stored SQL statements identifying the impact on the query plan that the creation of new index will have.

Name

Enter a name for the Scenario.

Description

Enter a description.

Enter and select indexes to be analyzed

Use Add Index to add the indexes for this Scenario.

Segment

Select the segment where you would like the index created from the drop-down list.

Consumer (Default 1 Range 1-20)

Specify the number of consumer processes that should perform the sort operation for creating the index. The actual number of consumer processes used to sort the index may be smaller than the specified number, if fewer worker processes are available when Adaptive Server executes the sort.

To add an index

Click Add Indeximage\B_AddIndex.gif to bring up the Add Index wizard.

To remove an index

Select the index and click Remove Index image\B_RemoveIndex.gif.

After you have created the first Scenario, you can add more Scenarios.
