I like what you are saying, Grant.

I'm not familiar with the term "wait state" info. Is this something out of MSSQL, or from Perfmon or something?

Thanks!

Tell me about it. Not a good one to really cut my teeth on.

The Tuning Advisor recommended my covered index...

Really? I was under the impression that if all the parameters in the query (WHERE clause) are covered by the index, that same index would be used every time,...
