Hi
I'm completely new to Indexing and would like to speed up some of my customers systems. My organisation made a mistake and upgraded a few of our customers from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008 before testing it fully in-house. The (new) servers are running slower than ever before as result. This is baffling the customers as you can imagine. Each customer has a two SQL user databases set up both about 1GB in size and each customer has about 30 users each.
At my organisation, there are not any currently resources to bring in a Developer or DBA to recommend what to do to speed up the new systems in place.
If I were to spend say four weeks learning as much as about SQL databases and Indexes, do you think it might be a good idea to add some indexes to see if this makes any difference. Also could I easily delete the Indexes to put the system back the way it was so no harm done? apart from it being a learning experience?
Kind Regards
James
