Can't Create An Index On My View
Dec 1, 2004
G'day all.
I am trying to create an index on a view that joins two tables.
I get the classic error of course:
'Cannot index the view 'dbname.dbo.HJC_net'. It contains one or more disallowed constructs.'
Thing that gets me is that it all seems pretty normal stuff and I can't see what is stopping it.
Code is below and any help greatly appreciated.
CREATE VIEW dbo.HJC_net WITH SCHEMABINDING AS
SELECTt_number
FROM dbo.ticket_cancellations RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.tickets ON dbo.ticket_cancellations.tc_system_ref = dbo.tickets.t_number
WHERE dbo.tickets.t_cancelled <> - 1 OR
-- Add all cancellation codes that are to be excluded from the NET view below
(dbo.ticket_cancellations.tc_cancellation_code <> 83943
AND dbo.ticket_cancellations.tc_cancellation_code <> 83946)
GO
-- Create a clustered index, it MUST be unique
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX t_number_unique ON HJC_net(t_number)

Hello all,I'm wanting to do a CONTAINS query on fields that belong to two seperate tables. So, for example, this is what I'd *like* to do :SELECT ci.itemNameFROM Content_Items ciINNER JOIN Content_Pages AS cp ON ci.contentItemId = cp.contentItemIdINNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, (ci.title, cp.pageText), @searchString) AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]However, this will not work, since SQL Server won't let you do fulltext queries against more then one table.So my idea is to create a view that combines my Content_Items table with the desired column from my Content_Pages table. I would then create a fulltext index on this view, and do fulltext queries against it.It seems like this should work. However, when I try to create a fulltext index on my newly-created view, I get this error :A unique column must be defined on this table/view.How do I create a unique column within a view?Also, will my approach work, or will it have unintended consequences? I'm using this as part of a search component in my software, so it has to perform reasonably well.

I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?

Dear All.
We had Teradata 4700 SMP. We have moved data from TD to MS_SQL SERVER 2003. records are 19.65 Millions.
table is >> Order_Dtl
Columns are:-
Client_ID varchar 10
Order_ID varchar 50
Order_Sub_ID decimal
.....
...
..
.
Pk is (ClientID+OrderId+OrderSubID)
Web Base application or PDA devices use to initiate the order from all over the country. The issue is this table is not Partioned but good HP with 30 GB RAM is installed. this is main table that receive 18,0000 hits or more. All brokers and users are using this table to see the status of their order.
The always search by OrderID, or ClientID or order_SubNo, or enter any two like (Client_ID+Order_Sub_ID) or any combination.
Query takes to much time when ever server receive more querys. some orther indexes are also created on the same table like (OrderDate, OrdCreate Date and Status)
My Question are:-
Q1. IF Person "A" query to DB on Client_ID, then what Index will use ? (If any one do Query on any two combination like Client_ID+Order_ID, So what index will be uesd.? How does MS-SQL SERVER deal with these kind of issues.?
Q2. If i create 3 more indexes on ClientID, ORderID and OrdersubID. will this improve the performance of query.if person "A" search record on orderNo so what index will be used. (Mind it their would be 3 seprate indexes for Each PK columns) and composite-Clustered index is also available.?
Q3. I want to check what indexes has been used? on what search?
Q4. How can i check what table was populated when, or last date of update (DML)?
My Limitation is i Dont Create a Partioned table. I dont have permission to do it.
In Teradata we had more than 4 tb record of CRM data with no issue. i am not new baby in db line but not expert in sql server 2003.
I am thank u to all who read or reply.

Write a CREATE VIEW statement that defines a view named Invoice Basic that returns three columns: VendorName, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceTotal. Then, write a SELECT statement that returns all of the columns in the view, sorted by VendorName, where the first letter of the vendor name is N, O, or P.
This is what I have so far,
CREATE VIEW InvoiceBasic AS
SELECT VendorName, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceTotal
From Vendors JOIN Invoices
ON Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.VendorID

Hi,
I have currently a problem with setting up the permissions for some developers. My configuration looks like this.
DB A is the productive database.
DB B is a kind of "development" database.
Now we have a couple of users call them BOB, DAVID, ...
who are members of the db role db_reader and db_writer for the productive db a but they should be allowed to do nearly everything on db b.
Therefor I added them to the db role db_owner for db b.
For testing purposes I tried to "CREATE" a view TEST as BOB in database B but I received the error message
'Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Procedure Test, Line 3
CREATE VIEW permission denied in database 'b'.'
I cross checked the permissions on db level and I even granted all available permissions on db level but nevertheless I receive this error message.
What's my mistake?
Of course it worked fine when I give them sysadmin rights but then they have far too much permissions.
Regards,
Stefan

I had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.

Hi
I have a problem creating an index on a view. The view should return the record corresponding to the Maximum Obje_ID. This seems to work.
CREATE VIEW dbo.D_Object_View
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT
Policy_ID,
Obj_ID,
Environment_Code,
CoB,
Sub_CoB,
Policy_No,
Version_No,
Object_Type,
Item_Seq,
FROM dbo.D_Object
WHERE
(Obj_ID IN
(SELECT MAX(Obj_ID)
FROM dbo.d_object
GROUP BY Environment_Code, COB, Policy_No, SUB_COB, Object_Type, Item_Seq))
I create the index with the following statement :
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Object_ID] ON [dbo].[D_Object_View]([Obj_ID]) ON [PRIMARY]
but get the following error :
Cannot index the view 'DB.dbo.D_Object_View'. It contains one or more disallowed constructs.
I think it is because of the MAX statement but don't know of any other way to do it. :confused:

Is it possilbe to create an index on a view using a linked server table? I am using openquery and I know I can't use rowset functions if I want to index a view.
I just didn't know if there was any other way to access the linked server data in order to create an index.

Does anyone know of a trick that allows you to apply an index on the following view? I would like to index the license_id column. When I try to apply a unique clustered index I get the following error - Index on view 'dbo.v_lic_status' cannot be created because function 'getdate' yields nondeterministic results.
VIEW DDL:
SELECT license_id,
CASE
WHEN (term_date < GETDATE()) THEN 'Terminated'
WHEN (suspend_date < GETDATE()) THEN 'Suspended'
WHEN (expiration_date < GETDATE()) THEN 'Expired'
WHEN (effective_date < GETDATE()) THEN 'Active'
ELSE 'Pending'
END AS lic_status
FROM dbo.license
INDEX DDL:
create unique clustered index ux_v_lic_status_01 on dbo.v_lic_status (
license_id

Hi Minor and inconsequential but sometimes you just gotta know: Is it possible to define a non-primary key index within a Create Table statement? I can create a constraint and a PK. I can create the table and then add the index. I just wondered if you can do it in one statement. e.g. I have: CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT])which creates a table with a PK and unique constraint. I would like (pseudo SQL):CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE INDEX NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT]) No big deal - just curious :D Once I know I can stop scouring BOL for clues. Tks in advance

I created a view from a table with out any where clause. All the rows from the table will be in the view with some extra info.
The table has a few indexes.
In my stored procedure I am storing two columns from the table ( IdHi , IdLo - primary key ) into a temp table and joining the temp to the view.
Here the query is taking too much time and not using the index. Can I force the primary key index on View?
Thanks!

Hi
If I have a view:
SELECT A,B
FROM tblTable
WHERE A = 1
And then I have a s-proc using that view:
SELECT *
FROM MyView
WHERE B > 6
My question: If I add an index to tblTable for the column B (not used in the view's WHERE clause, but used in the s-proc), will it have a performance improvement, because of the WHERE B > 6 on the view, assuming that this condition would benefit from the index if it were in the view itself.
I guess I could also put it this way: can an index on a column in a table improve the performance of a condition on a view using that table.
Thanks
Peter

I have created a horizontal partition view from 4 physical tables.
just wondering how the index works in the partition view:
1) If I need to build an index on a column, do I need to build
it on all 4 physical tables? or I just build it on the view? or build
it on view and 4 physical tables?
2) If I build it on view, and if I add a table into view, do I need to
recreate all indices on the view?

I have a table that has thousands of rows inserted daily (rows are seldom updated or deleted)
The table is also involved in frequent non-simple select statements. It currently has about a million rows.
Out of the 15 odd columns in the table, I can see about 6 that would benefit being indexed to speed up the select statements.
Before I do this, I was wondering if people think that perhaps I should create an indexed view that all select statements use, rather than adding indexes directly to the table.
Can anyone advise me the performance benefits/disadvantages of indexed views over indexed tables?
Thanks

In the section on index tuning in chapter 3 of Microsoft Press manual Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005: T-SQL Querying, the view dbo.VEmpOrders is created along with an index on the view. When a query is run against the view, the execution plan is supposed to use the index created in the view. When I run the example query, the execution plan uses an index in one of the base tables, dbo.Orders.
The execution plan in the book shows:
SELECT <--- Clustered Index Scan (using Performance.dbo.VEmpOrders.idx_ucl_eid_oy)
When I run the query as shown in the book, I get the execution plan:
SELECT <-- Hash Match <-- Compute Scalar <-- Index Scan (using Performance.dbo.Orders.idx_unc_od_oid_i_cid_eid)
Code to create the view and the subsequent query are:IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.VEmpOrders') IS NOT NULL
DROP VIEW dbo.VEmpOrders;
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.VEmpOrders
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT empid, YEAR(orderdate) AS orderyear, COUNT_BIG(*) AS numorders
FROM dbo.Orders
GROUP BY empid, YEAR(orderdate);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx_ucl_eid_oy
ON dbo.VEmpOrders(empid, orderyear);
SELECT empid, orderyear, numorders
FROM dbo.VEmpOrders;
How can I get the execution plan to use the view index. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Bill

I have a clustered index on an indexed view in sql server 2000. When I do a simple select in query anaylser from this view I can see from the execution plan in profiler that the clustered index was used to return the data, hence improving performance of the underlying select(this is why I am using the indexed view). However, if I run the query from an asp.net page using the sql provider I can see the call in profiler but the clustered index is not used, hence reducing the performance of the call considerably.If anyone has experienced this please let me know.Cheers

I have a view that joins a dozen tables with a million rows added per year by an application. I want to materialize it. The view is always filtered by date first on reports, then there are a few key transaction keys, but then many other fields required to make each row unique. I don't want to add these columns since they are large, many, not used for sorting or filtering, and may not define uniqueness in a future application design. I need a uniqueifier that is application agnostic. I prefer a bigint. So to store the materialized view ideally for reporting, I want to add the following clustered index to materialize the view:
CREATE unique CLUSTERED INDEX idx1
ON [dbo].[myview](myDate, key1, key2, key3, id bigint identity(1,1) NOT NULL)
And I get this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'bigint'.
Can I do what I want? If so, how?

Consider following code:
SELECT e1.EntityIdentity as CompanyID
FROM dbo.Entitye1 --company
JOIN dbo.EntityAssociationea
ON e1.EntityID = ea.EntityID1
JOIN dbo.Entitye2 --user
ON ea.EntityID2 = e2.EntityID
This query occurs as a sub-query in many stored procedures where exists a WHERE clause that includes CompanyID IN (above query).
Since dbo.Entity and dbo.EntityAssociation change infrequently I thought that an indexed view would really improve performance. But I've found one of the seemingly undocumented Microsoft features when trying to create the clustered index and get the following error msg:
Msg 1947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot create index on view "ROICore.dbo.vEntityEntityAssociation_CompanyUser". The view contains a self join on "ROICore.dbo.Entity".
I really need to improve performance on this subquery. Entity currently has over 20m rows and EntityAssociation over 35m rows and both are growing.
How to improve performance? Indexes on both tables for the most part give index seeks, but I thought my saviour might be the index view. Obviously this will not work.

Hi all
Recently we are having issues with one of the indexes during our maintenance. There is one index that which usually would have taken 10-15 mins continues to run even after 3 hrs. Other indexes on the same table finish nicely. Just this one gets stuck. Our index creation scripts drops existing index and creates new one..
CREATE INDEX ... ON ... WITH DROP_EXISTING, SORT_IN_TEMPDB ...etc
So last week when I got woken up because of this, I tried to drop the index explicitly and re create the index (by removing the DROP_EXISTING in above script). Even though it took about 45 mins it still finished in time during the maintenance window.
We had the same issue this week. I was looking at sp_who2 during the index creation, I noticed very low CPU activity and high DiskIO.
example: CPU : 4k cycles, DiskIO 50000.
There is 20% of free space on the index file group. Generally index creation takes higher CPU and lower DiskIO.
How do I find out what the issue is with this index? The table has 40 million rows. this is a non-clustered index. There are 2 other indexes on the table - one clustered. they both finished properly in less than 10 mins.
Thanks in advance,
Don
