Does anyone has some nice whitepapers about Indexing

  • We have some new employees who don't know everything about indices yet and i want to teach them everything there is. But i rather not spent 2 hours telling all about clustered / nonclustered, pagefullness, pagesplits, reading execution plans, etc. etc.

    So i was wondering: does someone know some realy good help files about this subject?

  • You might try MSDN for that. All the data is there, as published by Microsoft.

  • I agree MSDN. You might also see if there's an introductory DBA book that has a good chapter on it.

  • Not a free white paper I'm afraid. The best source I've found for information about indexing has been Kalen Delaney's book Inside SQL Server; Itzik Ben-Gan's Inside TSQL Querying book also has a very detailed chapter on the subject, and it's from a slightly different perspective to Kalen's, which I found very helpful. Both are in-depth, however, to put it mildly. The last book in the 'Inside SQL' series for 2005 - Querying Tuning and Optimization - has more of an overview of the subject.
