RE: Index Advisor

Thanks. Did not know those existed. But looking at those it looks like the REMOVE_INDEXES will actually DROP an index which I do not want to do. I want to delete the rows from SYSIXADV like the "Clear all advised indexes" does

I'm at 7.1, but I believe this was available at 6.1 as well. In the SYSTOOLS library there are a two SQL procedures the deal with the Index advisor; ACT_ON_INDEX_ADVICE and REMOVE_INDEXES. They aren't quite what you are asking for, but they should be able to help with writing what you need.

Does anyone know if there is an API for the Index Advisor? I know it is all accessible from Navigator but I am thinking about creating a utility that will read the SYSIXADV table looking for major issues, sending me an alert about the need for an index, then clear the advisor and start the process over. Maybe run this monthly. I have been able to read the SYSIXADV table and find what I consider a major issue and manually clearing the advisor would be OK, just wanted to try and make it fully automated.
