How to do the same in SQL 2000?

By the way, I’ve on more query.
Is it possible to list the Indexes at the time of executing an SQL Query? Means, any way to list the Indexes associated with an SQL Query when that particular SQL Query is executed? Hoping, I havent confused you much. :-)

Thanks.

FOr example I have Index 1 = Clustered (ID)
Index 2 = NoneClustered(Date)

Then I run the follwing a query and I forced it to use index=2, Would I reduce the amount of page scans???

Select ID from MYtable (index =2)
where date < = ’11/12/2008′ ????

In clusterd and Nonclustered indexe

which one is faster…??

SELECT
OBJECTNAME = OBJECT_NAME(I.OBJECT_ID)
, INDEXNAME = I.NAME
, I.INDEX_ID
FROM
SYS.INDEXES I
JOIN SYS.OBJECTS O ON I.OBJECT_ID = O.OBJECT_ID
WHERE
OBJECTPROPERTY(O.OBJECT_ID, ‘IsUserTable’) = 1
AND I.INDEX_ID NOT IN ( SELECT
S.INDEX_ID
FROM
SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_USAGE_STATS S
WHERE
S.OBJECT_ID = I.OBJECT_ID
AND I.INDEX_ID = S.INDEX_ID
AND DATABASE_ID = DB_ID() )
ORDER BY
OBJECTNAME
, I.INDEX_ID
, INDEXNAME ASC
GO

Nice article.

Just a recommendation, most of your images come from http://www.pinaldave.com/blogfolder/.

In our organization “blog” is filtered, and thus I cannot see the screen shots.

I guess it is in most of the companies.

Can u do something about it, may be changing the folder name, or the virtual directory name.

Thanks.
