Author Index Tuning Wizard (Crud?) or just me?

Is it just me or is it that you give it a workload and it recommends the
indexes you already have on your table.

Anybody any experience with this 'tool'?

I think it's good for new users with very simple scenarios. Beyond that,
you'll have to do it yourself. It really hasn't proven itself, IMO, to be a
good tool.

If you want to learn how to do this yourself, I recommend reading up at
http://www.sql-server-performance.com , and also picking up a copy of Ken
England's SQL Server 2000 performance tuning book, which is on Digital
Press.

if crud can be disappointing (and i'm sure it could) then the ITW is
definitely that ;-0
