Thanks Jason! I did not know that. That’s cool and a bit bizarre.

More and more trivia: Wikipedia tells me that the “J” in Michael J. Fox’s name doesn’t stand for anything. Michael J. Fox was born Michael Andrew Fox but took the J as “an homage to actor Michael J. Pollard”. For what it’s worth Michael J. Swart is short for Michael John Swart.

Re: Trivia – Even MORE Trivia!

Screen Actors Guild regulations have long required that all members have “unique working names”. That’s why Michael Keaton couldn’t use his birth name (Michael Douglas) and why Michael J. Fox had to use the “J.” (there was already a “Michael Fox” – who ever heard of that guy?).

“what if I chose a clustered index whose columns include the primary key. So SQL Server shouldn’t need the uniquifier right?” => No, because the PK can be dropped afterwards. Then, you’d have a CI without uniquifier although one is needed.

I thought so Kendra, it’s a great tool, even from the start. I think it’s ready for more exposure… who knows, maybe a nice farmers tan would do no harm.

Heh– I promise to expose sp_blitzindex in public more. I’ve done a bit of a soft launch with it to collect initial feedback and additional ideas. That’s gone super well, so I’m going to webcast it next week! Thanks for the lovely link, and glad you checked it out!
