SQL Performance on JDBC

We use SQL via our Java programs (JDBC).  I have been running the Client Access 
"Detailed SQL Performance Monitor" option.

Generally, after collecting data for some period of time, I check these two 
reports:

1) Index Advised Information - look at the "Advised Index Keys" column and 
create these indexes.

2) Index Create Information - look at the columns "Created Index Keys" and 
"Index Advised Key Columns"

Regarding #1, do you agree with me that this is a good practice?

Regarding #2, I am confused at what the system is telling me.  If it had to 
create the index in the "Created Index Keys" column, why wouldn't I just want 
to create those indexes permanently?  And why do the values in "Index Advised 
Key Columns" differ so wildly from the actually created index?  I am not sure 
what to do with this data.

Is there any other key indicator in the detailed data you think I should be 
focusing on?

Thanks,

Larry
