sql profile/ indexing testing on non-prod
Hello,
After running sql tuning advisor on production I got recommendation to create index/new profile/collect index stats etc.
My question is:
i) Do I need to validate the execution plan in n0n-prods(dev/qa) before cmaking this changes in prod? Does tuning advisor already verify before recommending?
ii) I doubt I should be satisfied with tdev/qa results for a query and deploy it on production prod since data volume/system stats etc. are different. What do you think?
Thanks,
Saikat
