During today's quick commercial, DBI demonstrated some customer favorite features of DBI's Brother-Panther. We used a trend chart to find time periods when Index Read Efficiency (IREF) was high (Michael's favorite metric), then drilled down to the SQL that was running when IREF was high. From there, we demonstrated Explaining a costly statement, getting a solution, and Predictive Index Impact Analysis. #Awesome.
