Re: Explain or Show Optimized Indexes

David

I hope your tongue was firmly planted in your cheek! I rely on Visual Explain to help me get the best performance out of the SQL we have in our products. I'm glad we DON'T have DBAs - it lets me get to the bottom of things faster.

I strongly disagree...

If you're a DB developer, writing application that access a DB, you
should be at least somewhat familiar with Visual Explain or whatever
you're platforms equivalent is.

Particularly on the i, as we don't tend to have DBA's on our platform.
But I've dealt with the results on non-i platforms where the
developers didn't have a clue how to use MS Query Analyzer or Oracle's
Explain Plan....it is not pretty.
