		<description>I would recommend going over pad index and fill factor in detail with real world examples.   

SQLServerPedia is a great resource for Index Management and Index Performance Tuning.

sqlserverpedia.com/wiki/Index_Related_DMV_Queries
sqlserverpedia.com/wiki/Index_Maintenance

I hope this helps.</description>

		<description>I have received feedback on this posting, but it has been posted elsewhere. Below is a summary of the feedback so far.

--Don&#039;t just write a rehash of Books Online. Try to offer some new perpectives.

--Would like to see specific examples of how indexes are implemented. In other words, include less theory and more real-world, practical advice.

--Include a discussion of the most common indexing mistakes, and how to avoid them.

--Keep the content easy to read, so that it doesn&#039;t melt your mind.

--Include a discussion of &quot;covering indexes&quot; and how they should be implemented.

--The easiest indexing concepts to understand include the types of indexes, such as clustered, non-clustered; what happens when you have too many indexes; the problems caused by index fragmentation. Some of the harder parts of indexing include: indexing internals, such as how they are stored and accessed.

--When should clustered indexes be used? When non-clustered indexes should be used?

--Discuss how to identify missing indexes, unused indexes, or duplicate indexes.

--How does indexing work with LOB objects?

--What&#039;s the best way to maintain indexes?

--How do you identify the ideal fillfactor for an index?

--Include how statisics are related to indexes, but don&#039;t overdo it.

--How do you use Management Studio to manage indexes?

--What DMVs can you use to &quot;peek inside&quot; indexes?</description>
