We have a database at work that holds URL's to documents that people must read and sign off on. The problem is when a duplicate URL is entered because the document has been updated the system will not add it to the database because it is a duplicate key. I can tell from looking through the sql files that it is not a primary key so from what I've read I need to turn on IGNORE_DUP_KEY for the index's options. Is there a way I can just open a window and turn this on or do I have to somehow run a script to set it up? If so, could someone explain how to run the script? Thanks
So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online: • This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician. • The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
If I create a subscription with a sync_type set to 'replication support only' is it possible to change that option to 'automatic' down the road without destroying and recreating the subscription?
I do a lot of index maintenance and started testing rebuilding my indexes with the ONLINE option, but noticed an increase in record size by 14 bytes. The issue I have is that for each index you build the ONLINE option, you add 14 bytes for row. After the index rebuild is done, normal transaction updates drop the additional 14 bytes.
The act of adding and dropping 14 bytes would cause fragmentation and uncompressed data. Is this correct or do I have something wrong?
SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager won’t let me drop a unique key index and move it to another field. I get an error regarding ‘drop index not allowed because of unique key constraint enforcement.
Is there anyway to change fields for unique keys in SQL Enterprise Manager?
After reading some comments here I decided to look at tables to see if any had a clustered index that was a unique identifier. Yep. So if I have a table with a unique identifier as the primary key/clustered index and an identity column that is indexed, I would like to make the identity a clustered index (maybe even the primary key) and make the unique identifier a unique non-clustered index (not the primary key).
Does this sound reasonable?If I do this will I need to drop and recreate the other indexes? Or maybe just rebuild the other indexes?
Currently:
CREATE TABLE Payments ( IDX INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL DEFAULT(NEWID()), .....
-- many other columns
); GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_PAYMENTS_GID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([GUID] ASC); GO CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Payments_ID] ON [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ([IDX] ASC); GO
Would like:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_PAYMENTS_IDX] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (IDX ASC); GO CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Payments_GUID] ON [dbo].[PAYMENTS] (GUID ASC); GO
We're using slowly changing dimensions to control a number of data tables in our system. Each table has five or six business keys, but the indexes of the tables are built so they're as efficient as possible (i.e. the fields with the highest diversity are listed first). How does the SCD wizard determine the order of the business key fields? Is there a way I can view or manipulate the statement the SCD task is using to make sure either (a) the indexes match the statement, or (b) the statement matches the indexes?
Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
please explain the differences btween this logical & phisicall operations that we can see therir graphical icons in execution plan tab in Management Studio
I am using Full Text Index to index emails stored in BLOB column in a table. Index process parses stored emails, and, if there is one or more files attached to the email these documents get indexed too. In result when I'm querying the full text index for a word or phrase I am getting reference to the email containing the word of phrase if interest if the word was used in the email body OR if it was used in any document attached to the email.
How to distinguish in a Full Text query that the result came from an embedded document rather than from "main" document? Or if that's not possible how to disable indexing of embedded documents?
My goal is either to give a user an option if he or she wants to search emails (email bodies only) OR emails AND documents attached to them, or at least clearly indicate in the returned result the real source where the word or phrase has been found.
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.
My SSIS package is running very slow taking so much time to execute, One task is taking 2hr for inserting 100k records, i have disabled unused index still it is taking time.I am rebuilding/Refreshing indexes and stats once in month if i try to execute on daily basis will it improve my SSIS Package performance?Â
hello friends i have table1 and 200 coulumn of table1 :) i have 647.600 records. i entered my records to table1 with for step to code lines in one day :) i select category1 category2 and category3 with select code but i have just one index.. it is productnumber and it is primarykey..So my select code lines is so slow.. it is 7-9 second.. how can i select in 0.1 second ? Should i create index for category1 and category2 and category3 ? But i dont know create index.. My select code lines is below.. Could you learn me and show me index for it ?? or Could you learn me and show me fast Select code lines and index or etc ??? Also my search code line have a dangerous releated to attaching table1 with hackers :) cheersi send 3 value of treview1 node and childnode and child.childnode to below page.aspx :) Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load If Not Me.IsPostBack Then If Request("TextBox1") IsNot Nothing ThenTextBox1.Text = Request("TextBox1") End If If Request("TextBox2") IsNot Nothing ThenTextBox2.Text = Request("TextBox2") End If If Request("TextBox3") IsNot Nothing ThenTextBox3.Text = Request("TextBox3") End If End If Dim searchword As String If Request("TextBox3") = "" And Request("TextBox2") = "" Then searchword = "Select * from urunlistesi where kategori= '" & Request("TextBox1") & "'" End If If Request("TextBox3") = "" Then searchword = "Select * from urunlistesi where kategori= '" & Request("TextBox1") & "' and kategori1= '" & Request("TextBox2") & "'" End If If Request("TextBox3") <> "" And Request("TextBox2") <> "" And Request("TextBox1") <> "" Then searchword = "Select * from urunlistesi where kategori= '" & Request("TextBox1") & "' and kategori1= '" & Request("TextBox2") & "' and kategori2= '" & Request("TextBox3") & "'" End If SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = searchword End Sub
I'm running a merge replication on a sql2k machine to 6 sql2k subscribers. Since a few day's only one of the merge agents fail's with the following error:
The merge process could not retrieve generation information at the 'Subscriber'. The index entry for row ID was not found in index ID 3, of table 357576312, in database 'PBB006'.
All DBCC CHECKDB command's return 0 errors :confused: I'm not sure if the table that's referred to in the message is on the distribution side or the subscribers side? A select * from sysobjects where id=357576312 gives different results on both sides . .
Hi everyone, When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered ?? In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it ??
I have a clustered index that consists of 3 int columns in this order: DateKey, LocationKey, ItemKey (there are many other columns in this data warehouse table such as quantities, prices, etc.).
Now I want to add a non-clustered index on just one of the other columns, say LocationKey, like this: CREATE INDEX IX_test on TableName (LocationKey)
I understand that the clustered index keys will also be added as key columns to any NC indexes. So, in this case the NC index will also get the other two columns from the clustered index added as key columns. But, in what order will they be added?
Will the resulting index keys on this new NC index effectively be:
LocationKey, DateKey, ItemKey OR LocationKey, ItemKey, DateKey
Do the clustering keys get added to a NC index in the same order as they are defined in the clustered index?
Quick question about the primary purpose of Full Text Index vs. Clustered Index.
The Full Text Index has the purpose of being accessible outside of the database so users can query the tables and columns it needs while being linked to other databases and tables within the SQL Server instance. Is the Full Text Index similar to the global variable in programming where the scope lies outside of the tables and database itself?
I understand the clustered index is created for each table and most likely accessed within the user schema who have access to the database.
Is this correct?
I am kind of confused on why you would use full text index as opposed to clustered index.
One of the major syntax inside the SELECT statment is ..
WHERE FIELDA IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='A') AND WHERE FIELDB IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='B') AND WHERE FIELDC IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='C') AND WHERE FIELDD IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='D') AND WHERE FIELDE IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='E') AND WHERE FIELDF IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='F')
(It's to compare the field content with some user input parameter inside a parameter table... )
I think properly is that the SELECT ... IN is causing much slowness in the sql statement. I have indexed FIELDA , FIELDB, FILEDC etc and those PARAVALUE and PARATYPE in the PARATABLE table. But perfromance is still slow and execution takes >20 seconds for 200000 rows of records.
Do any one know if still any chance to improvide the performance like this?
I'm trying to find whether there is a dmv or system view that can help me see the last time an index was rebuilt or created. Assuming I rebuilt an index using tsql commands (not a job with a history), is there a way to find out the last time that index was rebuilt?
SELECT a.AssetGuid, a.Name, a.LocationGuid FROM Asset a WHERE a.AssociationGuid IN ( SELECT ada.DataAssociationGuid FROM AssociationDataAssociation ada WHERE ada.AssociationGuid = '568B40AD-5133-4237-9F3C-F8EA9D472662')
takes 30-60 seconds to run on my machine, due to a clustered index scan on our an index on asset [about half a million rows]. For this particular association less than 50 rows are returned.
expanding the inner select into a list of guids the query runs instantly:
SELECT a.AssetGuid, a.Name, a.LocationGuid FROM Asset a WHERE a.AssociationGuid IN ( '0F9C1654-9FAC-45FC-9997-5EBDAD21A4B4', '52C616C0-C4C5-45F4-B691-7FA83462CA34', 'C95A6669-D6D1-460A-BC2F-C0F6756A234D')
It runs instantly because of doing a clustered index seek [on the same index as the previous query] instead of a scan. The index in question IX_Asset_AssociationGuid is a nonclustered index on Asset.AssociationGuid.
The tables involved:
Asset, represents an asset. Primary key is AssetGuid, there is an index/FK on Asset.AssociationGuid. The asset table has 28 columns or so... Association, kind of like a place, associations exist in a tree where one association can contain any number of child associations. Each association has a ParentAssociationGuid pointing to its parent. Only leaf associations contain assets. AssociationDataAssociation, a table consisting of two columns, AssociationGuid, DataAssociationGuid. This is a table used to quickly find leaf associations [DataAssociationGuid] beneath a particular association [AssociationGuid]. In the above case the inner select () returns 3 rows.
I'd include .sqlplan files or screenshots, but I don't see a way to attach them.
I understand I can specify to use the index manually [and this also runs instantly], but for such a simple query it is peculiar it is necesscary. This is the query with the index specified manually:
SELECT a.AssetGuid, a.Name, a.LocationGuid FROM Asset a WITH (INDEX (IX_Asset_AssociationGuid)) WHERE a.AssociationGuid IN ( SELECT ada.DataAssociationGuid FROM AssociationDataAssociation ada WHERE ada.AssociationGuid = '568B40AD-5133-4237-9F3C-F8EA9D472662')
To repeat/clarify my question, why might this not be doing a clustered index seek with the first query?
I have a table name “StringResources� which contains resources for different cultures. Right now, whenever admin adds any new resource, it immediately available to end user. Now the new requirement came up. We want admin to add resource first and when he is ready with all the resources for particular culture then only the resources should be available to end user. Important: StringResource table has SQLCacheDependecy set. So any change for particular culture will invalidate the cache. This how the select statement looks.SELECT dbo.StringResources.resourceType, dbo.StringResources.cultureCode, dbo.StringResources.resourceKey, dbo.StringResources.resourceValue FROM dbo.StringResources WHERE dbo.StringResources.cultureCode=@cultureCode Which would be the best option below: 1> Add new Boolean column “Published� and show only resources which are published to end user. Advantage: No need of extra table. Disadvantage: This will invalidate the cache every time resource is added even if it’s not published. Other option 2> Add new temporary table with same structure. When admin add new resource, add it to this temp table and when publish move resources to String Resources table. Advantage: Admin will have separate working space. It will invalidate cache only when resources are published. Disadvantage: Need extra table.
How can I get an All option into the cascading prompt? I want to view data for all states in USA. I find I can't proceed to load report unless I have filled in a value for all prompts. Any help?
I have a small doubt. If we enable AWE option we can have advantage of available physical memory.we can have more memory by using max server memory property. then why this AWE option comes in to picture.
I read bol but iam not able to understand what exactly happens.
Could any one tell me why this AWE option if we have max server memory property.
Hi, What is equivalent to OPTION (RECOMPILE) in SQl Server 2000. Create table #Employee ( EmpId int IDENTITY,EmpName varchar(30) ) insert into #Employee(EmpName ) select EmpName from AllEmployees OPTION (RECOMPILE)
I have a vacation request app I'm designing, and it has a VacationData Table with TotalVac, UsedVac, VacLeft, VacationCarriedOver, and VacCompleted. I need to take the VacLeft and divide by 2 and place that data in the following two spots, one in the VCO and add it to the TotalVac, which is pulled from another table w/hire date and other info. I only need to run this on Jan 1 of every year, any suggestions?
