The execution time of an SQL in most of the relational databases depends on the cost of the execution. An optimizer chooses the plan that has the lowest cost, and thus considers further phases such as execute and fetch using that plan. One of the easiest ways of optimizing a well-written SQL is through appropriate indexes that are suitable for that query. An index may reduce the number of pages fetched from disk and may live in the cache due to its size (<<< table size). So, indexing is always a low-hanging fruit for admins and developers wishing to tune an SQL. But often developers wish to see if an index can be really helpful. The only option available is to create the index and check to see if the queries are able to use it with a reduced cost. Creating the index may be fine if it is in a test environment, or a table that is not huge in size, but if for some reason you wish to see if an index can be helpful for an SQL without actually creating it, then you may test and try this extension to create hypothetical indexes.
