How can you find missing indexes in a database?

To determine which missing index groups a particular missing index is part of, you can query the sys. dm_db_missing_index_groups dynamic management view by equijoining it with sys. dm_db_missing_index_details based on the index_handle column. The result set for this DMV is limited to 600 rows.

How do I see all indexes in MySQL?

To see indexes for all tables within a specific schema you can use the STATISTICS table from INFORMATION_SCHEMA: SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME, INDEX_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA. STATISTICS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_schema'; Removing the where clause will show you all indexes in all schemas.

How do you find the missing index in execution plan?

Right-click on the execution plan and select Show Execution Plan XML... from the menu. The execution plan XML will open as a new tab inside SSMS. Only a single missing index suggestion will be shown in the Missing Index Details...

The best what I can think of is to use the EXPLAIN to check the execution plan of your query with index and without index and then see the difference in query performance.
