I've been pointed to this script from several places which apparently helps with designing indexes in Microsoft SQL Server: http://indexanalysis.codeplex.com/

The problem is I'm using Sybase ASA 11, which seems to use a slightly different implementation of T-SQL than the one used by MS. I'm getting all sorts of errors when I try to run the script.

I know enough about database tuning to tell where to put indexes, and that's about it. I'm a programmer, so I don't know about it as much as I'd like to.

My question is: Is there anything similar to this tool for Sybase? I need to know where to put indexes without going to each and every query (if I can avoid it).

Hi Dan, welcome to Database Administrators. Are you asking if there is an equivalent index analysis tool for sybase? – Derek Downey Nov 10 '11 at 20:45

@Dan The tool/script you've linked too is possibly too deep a level of analysis for what you're looking for. More suitable would be the Sybase equivalent of SQL Servers Database Tuning Advisor, if such a tool exists. Might be worth editing your question to reflect this if it's the case. – Mark Storey-Smith Nov 10 '11 at 20:52
Updated the question per your requests. Thanks guys – Dan Nov 10 '11 at 20:59

Sybase 3rd party tools are sparse unless you spend money it seems.

The usual vendor suspects have Sybase offerings:
