Find missing indexes on foreign key constraints

Antonios Chatzipavlis
Monday 16 October 2017

Τα foreign keys όπως είναι γνωστό δεν φτιάχνουν κάποιον index στο reference table. Επίσης είναι γνωστό ότι καλό (αλλά όχι πάντα απαραίτητο) να φτιάχνουμε nonclustered index στο reference table στo field(s) που εμπλέκονται στο FK constraint.



Με το παρακάτω script βρίσκουμε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις τις αξιολογούμε και αν χρειαστεί να φτιάξουμε αυτούς η τελευταία κολώνα περιέχει και το create index statement.



Enjoy
