If it came to automated tools, wouldn't fit in this discussion to give
some performance requirement limits to the RECOMMEND tool ? In a
workload not all queries are real time or high priority, and such a
lesser impact index can help enough sometimes to meet the requirements,
compared to a high impact index which would make the query fly.

Example: inserting in a table must be real time, reporting can be taken
offline...

So it would be nice to have a recommendation tool which can take into
account the performance requirements of the individual queries, possibly
making the right compromises to meat all requirements for all queries.

Cheers,
Csaba.
