Util_MissingIndexes
By Jesse Roberge - YeshuaAgapao@Yahoo.com
Update 1:
Fixed broken order by (data tyep conversion error) for @Sort=3, 4, and 5
Update 2:
Added a missing 'sys.' name-part in the join to sys.dm_db_missing_index_details. Was causing the proc to return no results on some peoples' systems.
Also updated the description with the permission requirements and the effect of running without sufficient permissions.
Update 3 2009-01-14:
Fixed Rows Output - Was being erroneously multiplied by (1+#NonClusteredIndexes)
SUM(Rows) Should be SUM(CASE WHEN index_id BETWEEN 0 AND 1 THEN row_count ELSE 0 END)
Added 'Last xxx' datetime columns to the result set
Added @Delimiter parameter for the column listing output (Defaults to ,) for accomodating export to csv files.
Reports stats on what the query optimizer records in the DMVs as missing indexes and what it says the cost savings will be if they were present. Can limit by table / schema name patterns.
Requires the 'VIEW SERVER STATE' permission. The sysadmin fixed server role has this permission. dbo (datase owner) gives 'VIEW DATABASE STATE', which is not sufficient. If you run this without sufficent permissions, you will get a empty result set.
