      Blair you are right, but this is really a problem.

      If you review application & index design it is very difficult to decide
      which indexes are no longer required. DB2 provides not much help on
      this, snapshots are not much help and I think event monitors can´t be
      used on large systems for this.

      Have you got any advise, whitepaper, internal notes, step-by-step
      procedures, etc. which could help for this?

      Many thanks
      Stefan

        If you run the Index Advisor (comes up under the Design Advisor in v8 I
        think) it can tell you which indexes are not required if you have an
        accurate picture of your workload.
