Hi, GitHub Copilot (even Pro) cannot directly access your SQL Server database or automatically analyze all stored procedures to suggest indexes. Copilot works on the code you write in the editor—it doesn’t connect to live databases or perform profiling.

What you can do:

1. Generate SQL scripts or stored procedures in Visual Studio and use Copilot to suggest improvements or optimizations in the code. For example, you can write a prompt like:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetOrders ...

2. Copilot may suggest improvements to queries or indexing hints.

3. Use SQL Server tools like:

• Database Engine Tuning Advisor to analyze queries and suggest indexes.
• Query Store / Execution Plans in SSMS to find slow queries and missing indexes.

4. Combine approaches: Export your stored procedures as scripts, feed them into Copilot with prompts asking for optimizations or indexing suggestions.

In short, Copilot can help write or improve SQL code, but for full database-level optimization, you’ll need SQL Server profiling tools.

i do not want to find, i want to generate missing indexs based on current database state that is all stored procedure etc.
