Searches for foreign key constraints that don't have fully matching indexes.
The best partial matching indexes are outputted with MatchCounts and column comparisons
Generates a CREATE INDEX template for each foreign-key with no matching index or a partial-matching index.
Customize as needed (add includes, if you want it clustered, or if it should be a part of the primary key, or if you want to merge with another index)
FKs missing full matching indexes can severely hurt the performance of DELETES on the referenced table due to table-scans for checking referential integrity,
as well as SELECTS on the referencing tables where the foreign-key column(s) are in the WHERE or JOIN predicates (This will affect you whether a constraint exists or not).
This only checks the first N columns of the index where N is the number of columns in the foreign key constraint.
Index column order is not verified beyond this (A two-col FK that has 1 matching column in the 2nd col of a 3-col index will be outputted as a partial match)
If your database has no foreign key constraints, then this tool will be worthless to you.
Many databases have partial foreign key constraint coverage. This only works on related tables where constraints are declared.
