I'm the director of Information Systems for a large company. We are a 100%
Microsoft/SQL Server shop.  I can assure you that Microsoft's Index Tuning
Wizard is one of the real software gems you want to make use of. We recently
used it to trim the runtime of a large customer matching job from 8 hours
down to 57 minutes!  The success you have with this tool is often
remarkable.  Happy to hear your BUFFER statement worked for you.  However,
never overlook the usefulness of the Index Tuning Wizard. The results are
sometimes unbelievable.
