We are using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Log shipping has been set up on one of our production databases. The destination database is set to read only and able to restore transaction logs. It is used for generating Web reports.

Our Web developer created a new report that uses a LEFT JOIN query, which requires the several additional indexes to boost performance.

Is there a way we can create the new indexes on the destination server without bring it back online? Or is it possible to create the indexes on the original server and have them "shipped" to the destination database?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gary K."

You'd have to create them on the original server if you wanted to keep the log shipping destination in standby/read-only mode.
