Clustered SQL 7 And SP3
Feb 16, 2001After applying SP3 to to cluster, cluster still displays that it has SP2, is there a way to check for sure which version it has. And what's the appropriate way to install SP3 on cluster.

DB Engine :: How To Convert Unique Clustered Index Into Clustered Primary Key To Use With Change Tracking
Sep 4, 2015We are going to use SQL Sever change tracking. The problem is that some of our tables, which are to be tracked, have no primary keys. There are only unique clustered indexes. The question is what is the best way to turn on change tracking for these tables in our circumstances.

Aug 28, 2015I desire to have a clustered index on a column other than the Primary Key. I have a few junction tables that I may want to alter, create table, or ...
I have practiced with an example table that is not really a junction table. It is just a table I decided to use for practice. When I execute the script, it seems to do everything I expect. For instance, there are not any constraints but there are indexes. The PK is the correct column.

Data Warehousing :: Difference Between Primary Key With Clustered And Non-clustered Index
Jul 19, 2013I have created two tables. table one has the following fields,
Id -> unique clustered index.
table two has the following fields,
Tid -> unique clustered index
Id -> foreign key of table one(id).
Now I have created primary key for the table one column 'id'. It's created as "nonclustered, unique, primary key located on PRIMARY". Primary key create clustered index default. since unique clustered index existed in table one, it has created "Nonclustered primary key".
My Question is, What is the difference between "clustered, unique, primary key" and "nonclustered, unique, primary key"? Is there any performance impact between these?

Converting A Clustered Index On A PK Identity Field To Non-clustered
Sep 8, 2006Hi there, I have a table that has an IDENTITY column and it is the PK of this table. By default SQL Server creates a unique clustered index on the PK, but this isn't what I wanted. I want to make a regular unique index on the column so I can make a clustered index on a different column.
If I try to uncheck the Clustered index option in EM I get a dialog that says "Cannot convert a clustered index to a nonclustered index using the DROP_EXISTING option.". If I simply try to delete the index I get the following "An explicit DROP INDEX is not allowed on index 'index name'. It is being used for PRIMARY KEY constraint enforcement.
So do I have to drop the PK constraint now? How does that affect all the tables that have FK relationships to this table?
Thanks

View 9 Replies View RelatedData Warehousing :: Primary Key Has Both A Clustered And Non-clustered Constraint
Sep 30, 2015I have a really super slow stored proc that does something simple. it updates a table if certain values are received.
In looking at this the matching is done on the Primary Key, which is set as a Clustered index, looking further I have another constraint, that sets the same column to a Unique, Non-Clustered.
I am not sure why this was done, but it seems to be counter productive. I have read only references to Which one is better on a primary key, but not can their be both and if it is "Smart".

Clustered/Non-clustered Indexes And B-Trees
Jan 31, 2005I would like to find information on Clustered and Non-clustered indexes and how B-trees are used. I know a clustered index is placed into a b-tree which makes sense for fast ordered searching. What data structure does a non-clustered index use and how? I tried to find info. on the web but couldn't get much detail...

Simple Query Chooses Clustered Index Scan Instead Of Clustered Index Seek
Nov 14, 2006the query:
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?
A Question About Clustered Indexes Forcing Rebuild Of Non-clustered Indexes.
Sep 18, 2007So I'm reading http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips/clustered_indexes_p2.aspx and I come across this:
When selecting a column to base your clustered index on, try to avoid columns that are frequently updated. Every time that a column used for a clustered index is modified, all of the non-clustered indexes must also be updated, creating additional overhead. [6.5, 7.0, 2000, 2005] Updated 3-5-2004
Does this mean if I have say a table called Item with a clustered index on a column in it called itemaddeddate, and several non-clustered indexes associated with that table, that if a record gets modified and it's itemaddeddate value changes, that ALL my indexes on that table will get rebuilt? Or is it referring to the table structure changing?
If so does this "pseudocode" example also cause this to occur:
sqlstring="select * from item where itemid=12345"
rs.open sqlstring, etc, etc, etc
rs.Fields("ItemName")="My New Item Name"
rs.Fields("ItemPrice")=1.00
rs.Update
Note I didn't explicitly change the value of rs.fields("ItemAddedDate")...does rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate")=rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate") occur implicitly, which would force the rebuild of all the non-clustered indexes?

Include Clustered Index In Non-clustered Index?
Oct 15, 2007Hi everybody!
I just ran the Database Engine Tuning Advisor on a relative complex query to find out if a new index might help, and in fact it found a combination that should give a performance gain of 94%. Fair enough to try that.
What I wonder about: The index I should create contains 4 columns, the last of them being the Primary Key column of the table, which is also my clustered index for the table. It is an identity integer btw.
I think I remember that ANY index does include the clustered one as lookup into the data, so having it listed to the list of columns will not help. It might at worst add another duplicate 4 bytes to each index entry.
Right? Wrong? Keep the column in the index, or remove it since it is included implicit anyway?
Thanks for suggestions!

Clustered T/F?
May 10, 2004Many times we see tables with customerID as the PK and clustered but with customerName as null.
So, I try to inforce it by alter table add constraint of AK1_customerName unique for it. However, though the uniqueness is enforced, the display sequence is also 'altered' to be sorted by customerName?
This does not look like right...

Clustered Vs. Non Clustered
Aug 14, 2006I've been doing a bit of reading and have read in quite a few placesthat an identity column is a good clustered index and that all or atleast most tables should have a clustered index. The tool I used togenerate tables made them all with non clustered indexes so I wouldlike to drop all of them and generate clustered indexes. So myquestions is a) good idea? and b) how? There are foreign key referencesto most of them so those would need to be dropped first and thenre-created after the clustered one was created and that could cascade(I think?)Any existing scripts out there that might do this? I found somethingsimilar and modified it, the sql is included below. This gives me thelist of all the columns I need, I just need to get the foreign keys foreach from here before each one and generate all the create/dropscripts.All the columns I am looking to do this for are called "Id" making thissomewhat simpler. I'm just looking to incrementally make the SQL sidebetter and don't want to rewrite a bunch of application level code tomake the column names ISO compliant, etc./*-- Returns whether the column is ASC or DESCCREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetIndexColumnOrder(@object_id INT,@index_id TINYINT,@column_id TINYINT)RETURNS NVARCHAR(5)ASBEGINDECLARE @r NVARCHAR(5)SELECT @r = CASE INDEXKEY_PROPERTY(@object_id,@index_id,@column_id,'IsDescending')WHEN 1 THEN N' DESC'ELSE N''ENDRETURN @rEND-- Returns the list of columns in the indexCREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetIndexColumns(@table_name SYSNAME,@object_id INT,@index_id TINYINT)RETURNS NVARCHAR(4000)ASBEGINDECLARE@colnames NVARCHAR(4000),@thisColID INT,@thisColName SYSNAMESET @colnames = INDEX_COL(@table_name, @index_id, 1)+ dbo.GetIndexColumnOrder(@object_id, @index_id, 1)SET @thisColID = 2SET @thisColName = INDEX_COL(@table_name, @index_id, @thisColID)+ dbo.GetIndexColumnOrder(@object_id, @index_id, @thisColID)WHILE (@thisColName IS NOT NULL)BEGINSET @thisColID = @thisColID + 1SET @colnames = @colnames + ', ' + @thisColNameSET @thisColName = INDEX_COL(@table_name, @index_id,@thisColID)+ dbo.GetIndexColumnOrder(@object_id, @index_id,@thisColID)ENDRETURN @colNamesENDCREATE VIEW dbo.vAllIndexesASbeginSELECTTABLE_NAME = OBJECT_NAME(i.id),INDEX_NAME = i.name,COLUMN_LIST = dbo.GetIndexColumns(OBJECT_NAME(i.id), i.id,i.indid),IS_CLUSTERED = INDEXPROPERTY(i.id, i.name, 'IsClustered'),IS_UNIQUE = INDEXPROPERTY(i.id, i.name, 'IsUnique'),FILE_GROUP = g.GroupNameFROMsysindexes iINNER JOINsysfilegroups gONi.groupid = g.groupidWHERE(i.indid BETWEEN 1 AND 254)-- leave out AUTO_STATISTICS:AND (i.Status & 64)=0-- leave out system tables:AND OBJECTPROPERTY(i.id, 'IsMsShipped') = 0end*/SELECTv.*FROMdbo.vAllIndexes vINNER JOININFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS TONT.CONSTRAINT_NAME = v.INDEX_NAMEAND T.TABLE_NAME = v.TABLE_NAMEAND T.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'AND v.COLUMN_LIST = 'Id'AND v.IS_CLUSTERED = 0ORDER BY v.TABLE_NAME

Index - Clustered Or Not?
May 22, 2000Hi,
I have a small table (around 10,000 rows) that is constantly selected from, deleted from, and inserted into. Basically we fill it with content, our web application selects the content, and when we run out, we regenerate (about 50 rows at a time). We currently have a nonclustered PK on the first two columns, both INTs. How can I determine if a clustered index would be better? I am concerned about bottlenecks due to a hotspot with the nonclustered index. When our site really starts to get users, this could become a big issue. I am thinking that I could use a clustered index, and set up a job to reindex the table once every hour or so....any help is appreciated greatly.

I only have one instance and there's no replication or analysis services or anything else.
Unfortunately, I don't have another clustered server to test it on (long story - working on it)
