Obtaining Index Consultant recommendations for a database

To obtain Index Consultant recommendations for an entire database, use the Application Profiling mode in Sybase Central.

Prerequisites

DBA or PROFILE authority.

Context and remarks

The Index Consultant needs profiling data before it can make its recommendations. The following procedure is a quick way to gather data and obtain the recommendations using data gathered by the Application Profiling Wizard. However, if you already have application profiling data (for example, if you profiled your database already using the Database Tracing Wizard), you can also run the Index Consultant on the tracing database that you created.
