    Basically a DTA that doesn't suck...

    Heh... THAT, my friend, has yet to be seen both on the regressive plans and the index recommendations. 😉

    That was pretty much my reaction when I heard about it about a year ago from our MS Support Engineer... 
    IIRC, it's supposed to be able to implement it's recommendations, including the alter index, automagically. 
    I think my 1st comment was, "Sounds fantastic! ...<something about DTA making equally glorious promise... laughing a little>... What will we need to do to turn it off?"

    Too funny!  After I read Wayne's good article, the first thing that came to mind was "How do I turn it off"? 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
