Index Tuning Wizard error

  • I have captured a trace file with daily statements that I want evaluated to have indexes suggested for performance improvement.  I want to use the Index Tuning Wizard to help me decide on what indexes to add or to delete.  I have thousands of queries and I already know that the indexes that are already on the tables in the database are not being used as they should.  My problem is that when I use the ITW either with my trace file or a SQL script as my workload file, I get a error that says...

    "There are no events in the workload.  Either the trace file contained no SQL Batch or RPC events or the SQL Script contained no SQL queries."

    The trace file does contain bothe SQL Batch and RPC events.  I went Googling for this error and only found one place that says that this could be an issue with the install of SQL Server.  I went to another SQL Server and captured a like trace file on a different database and used the ITW and it worked fine. 

    Has anyone had this error and what can I do about it???

  • if the trace is incomplete it could cause this. Usually its due to a trace that isn't setup to caputure the correct data for the ITW.

  • I am getting the exact same error using ITW in Query Analyzer against a single select statement.  In playing with it, I have found it will not analyze a query it cannot parse.

    Take care,
