Hello everyone,

I ran performance dashboard on my sql server and it suggest several missing indexes. Several are based on the same table with different columns. Is it advisable to create all these missing indexes? Or just the ones I think are most necessary?

Thanks in advance

Run the execution plan and see the cost associated and analyze the performance after implementation.
