Abstract : This paper introduces the concept of letting an RDBMS Optimizer optimize its own environment. In our project, we have used the DB2 Optimizer to tackle the index selection problem, a variation of the knapack problem. This paper will discuss our implementation of index recommendation, the user interface, and provide measurements on the quality of the recommended indexes. 1.,
