Re: skip scan index

I have to give credit to Julian Dyke (BMC) who had this - and many other gems - in his presentation at the Hotsos performance symposium in Dallas in February. Because of personal reasons he unfortunately could not make it to IOUG for his presentation on indexes, but I got to download his presentation during the pre-access period. Excellent stuff as well.

I hope I'll meet you someday in person. I always find it endearing when someone not only goes out of their way to prove themselves wrong but then goes and publishes it to the world. You're an ace.
