    I don't know about DAC being on a list of tools to master. Agree with others about DTA not being on it... I've seen DTA (and the missing indexes dmv's) suggest new indexes, where adding a column to an existing index would handle the query... I think all they know is to add a new one.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
