In yesterdays duplicate index blog post, I mentioned that there would be an update to the index analysis stored procedure today. Without further ado, you can jump to the bottom and download it. There are a few things I’ve fixed from comments from people using the script and then major change is the addition of the new duplication logic.
INDEX ANALYSIS UPDATES
The main updates to the script in this release are the following:
- Fixed duplicate index logic to match that from That’s Actually A Duplicate Index
- Added check for disabled indexes to checks
- Expanded drop reasons with explanations and descriptions for dropping because of duplication, usage, and count of indexes
- Increased size of foreign key name to accommodate larger names
- Fixed issue causing DROP recommmendation on missing indexes
