 What to look for
UPDATE STATISTICS;
Statistics
UPDATE TABLE STATISTICS AND
INDEX STATISTICS AND
COLUMN STATISTICS FOR Customer; How often I
should update?
Table Column
_SysTblStat _SysColStat
Index
_SysIdxStat

On 20% change in data!!

 Is it good to create many indexes?

Indexes comes with some overhead.

Overhead in terms of INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE
In terms on memory consumption
Creating indexes on right columns.
Columns which are most often used in WHERE clause
Columns which are most often used as JOIN predicate
Columns which are most often used in GROUPING (Aggregations)
Columns which are most often used in ORDERING (Sorting)
Use Type-2 areas

 SQL Hints

NOEXECUTE
SELECT CustNum, Name from Pub.Customer Where City=Bedford NOEXECUTE;
NO REORDER
SELECT CustNum,OrderNum from
Pub.Customer c, Pub.Order o {NO REORDER}
Where c.custNum = o.CustNum
FORCE INDEX
SELECT CustNum,Name from Pub.Customer FORCE ( INDEX (IDX_NAME))

Where CustNum > 10 and Name=American Express
