Index tuning

  • I have a table with about 500,000 records, and it has 8 fields, one of which is a guid as the primary key (indexed, non-clustered). I have indexes on each of the fields, and when I select one row using any one of the fields, its fast, but the index plan is 51% on the index seek, and 49% on the bookmark lookup. Isn't this ineffcient? I believe this is causing problems in larger queries in other areas.... any ideas?

  • Do you have a clustered index?

  • There was no need to repost the question in this case. I have requested that the other one be moved to the 2000 forums.

  • I tried that, but I couldn't see how thats done... is there a way I can move it? Or does it have to be done by an admin?

  • It has to be done by an admin. Use the Report button and request that the thread be moved.
