• I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you trying to tune queries where there is a lot NULL columns?

    If so, yes, this can be an issue in 2005 and prior version because NULL values and indexes don't mix will to arrive a selective indexes. SQL Server 2008 has a filtered index that could help you here.

    If that's not the kind of information you're looking for, please clarify your concerns. Thanks.
