I was about to write a script to load information on any unused indexes to a table, then another to drop index monitoring and then reenable it. I figured I'd run the first just before gathering stale stats and the other just after gathering stale stats. Before doing that I was wondering if anyone had a better way to handle this or had an existing script to do the same thing? For anyone wondering what I'm talking about gathering stats on an index marks it as used. Really annoying. Jay Miller
