SQL 2012 :: Clustered Indexing On View
Jun 15, 2015
I've created a table which will hold staffing data (name, grade, etc.) and any shifts that are going to be entered. I've got some test data in the table.
The base table looks like this:-
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbl_ForecastShifts_New](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Ward] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[StaffBand] [real] NULL,
[StaffMemberName] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Code] ....
I've attached a spreadsheet with the test data from the table and the required layout on the second tab.
I've created a view which displays the data as I want it and I need to attach this to an MS Access front-end for the users to input/edit the data in the table with the use of a Access form.
The view I've created looks like this:-
CREATE view [dbo].[vw_Forecast_Staffing] with schemabinding
as
select
s.Ward
,s.StaffBand
,s.StaffName
,d1.Date1
[Code] ....
It displays all the staff members and any shifts they've been given for a 7-day period with day 1 begin supplied by the user.
The user will also supply the ward they are interested in viewing.
When I attached the view to Access it becomes read-only as it doesn't have any indexes on it.
I can't create a clustered index on the view as there are derived tables.

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?

I've got MS SQL7 running on an MSCS cluster in an active/passive configuration (SQL runs on only 1 node out of the two nodes in the cluster).
I need to add Full-Text Indexing to SQL, and cannot find anything in the BOL on adding Full-Text Indexing to an existing SQL isntallation, let alone anything about adding it to a clustered intallation.
Does anybody out there have any experience with adding Full-Text Indexing to an existing SQL install, or better yet, to a clustered SQL install?

Hi All,I'm hoping someone can help me. I think I'm missing something verybasic. I'm trying to put a clustered index on a view that I havecreated. I keep getting the error:Server: Msg 8668, Level 16, State 1, Line 1An index cannot be created on the view 'cew_avwage_uscnty' because theselect list of the view contains a non-aggregate expression.Here is the create view statement:CREATE view dbo.cew_avwage_uscntywith schemabindingasselect statefips, countyfips, naics_code, sum(disc * 0) as disc,data_year, sum(qtr_payroll)/((sum(emp1+emp2+emp3))/12) as avwagefrom dbo.qcew_own_n where year= '2004'and (ownership = '0'and (naics_code like '__' or naics_code like '__-__')or (ownership = '5' and naics_code = '10'))and countyfips <> '999'and naics_code <> '99'and ((disc = '0') or (disc <> '0' and (emp1 <> 0 or emp2 <> 0 or emp3 <>0)))group by statefips, countyfips, naics_code, data_yearHere is the create index statement I am using:create unique clustered index main_cdxon dbo.cew_avwage_uscnty (statefips, countyfips, naics_code, year)Each field that I have listed in the select statement MUST appear in theview. The disc field needs to be set = 0 and the data_year field needsto be set = 2004. Initially I had select statement for disc anddata_year set as, disc = '0', year = '2004' .. but thought this wasgiving me my problem. I changed it and am still getting the same error?Is my problem because of the fields that I am grouping by? Any advicewould be very much appreciated. I'm trying to avoid creating an extracttable, as these data are updated regularly - so I would like to onlyupdate the base table and have the view refresh itself.Thanks again!Bethany*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I'm experiencing a problem while trying to index a view ... I'm using a single field and everything else are default entry's. I'm getting the Error Message 1939 .
The code is a follows:

GO
And the Error is:
Msg 1939, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Index kann für die 'ALG_ORG_BEZ_V'-Sicht nicht erstellt werden, da die Sicht nicht schemagebunden ist.
For those of you who do not read German ... it means something like ..." The Index kann not be created because the view is not bound to a schema.
I don't understand what that means for me ... can someone explain that to me a little bit more in depth ... ?
Thanx ... wvg

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 CSV File, I am importing this into SQL Server using SSIS package through Flat File source Task.
Few Points about data & its handling
1) inside the Procedure they are dropping the index, then populating the table, then again creating the same index.
2) Data is huge in figure (say, in millions)
My doubt:
which is the best way to import the data
1) Just inserting the data without dropping the Index
2) Drop index, populate table, re-create index (the way they do right now)

Is it a best practice to disable "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed" on NTFS drives used by SQL for its data, log, tempdb, etc?
In what I've read it seems to be a best practice for Filestream objects and Flash storage drives. We don't currently use Filestream objects or have Flash drives.
Are there any benefits or drawbacks to disabling this feature on an NTFS drive connected to SAN LUNs under mount points?

I am trying to use an indexed view to allow for aggregations to be generated more quickly in my test data warehouse. The Fact Table I am creating the indexed view on is a partitioned clustered columnstore index.
I have created a view with the following code:
ALTER view dbo.FactView
with schemabinding
as
select local_date_key, meter_key, unit_key, read_type_key, sum(isnull(read_value,0)) as [s_read_value], sum(isnull(cost,0)) as [s_cost]
, sum(isnull(easy_target_value,0)) as [s_easy_target_value], sum(isnull(hard_target_value,0)) as [s_hard_target_value]
, sum(isnull(read_value,0)) as [a_read_value], sum(isnull(temperature,0)) as [a_temp], sum(isnull(co2,0)) as [s_co2]
, sum(isnull(easy_target_co2,0)) as [s_easy_target_co2]
, sum(isnull(hard_target_co2,0)) as [s_hard_target_co2], sum(isnull(temp1,0)) as [a_temp1], sum(isnull(temp2,0)) as [a_temp2]
, sum(isnull(volume,0)) as [s_volume], count_big(*) as [freq]
from dbo.FactConsumptionPart
group by local_date_key, read_type_key, meter_key, unit_key
I then created an index on the view as follows:
create unique clustered index IDX_FV on factview (local_date_key, read_type_key, meter_key, unit_key)
I then followed this up by running some large calculations that required use of the aggregation functionality on the main fact table, grouping by the clustered index columns and only returning averages and sums that are available in the view, but it still uses the underlying table to perform the aggregations, rather than the view I have created. Running an equivalent query on the view, then it takes 75% less time to query the indexed view directly, to using the fact table. I think the expected behaviour was that in SQL Server Enterprise or Developer edition (I am using developer edition), then the fact table should have used the indexed view. what I might be missing, for the query not to be using the indexed view?

I am trying to create a clustered index on a View of a table that has an xml datatype. This indexing ran for two days and still did not complete. I tried to leave it running while continuing to use the database, but the SELECT statements where executing too slowly and the DML statements where Timing out. I there a way to control the server/cpu resources used by an indexing process. How can I determine the completion percentage or the indexing process. How can I make indexing the view with the xml data type take less time?
The table definition is displayed below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AuditLogDetails](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[RecordID] [int] NOT NULL,
[TableName] [varchar](64) NOT NULL,
[Modifications] [xml] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_AuditLogDetails] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
The view definition is displayed below.
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[vwAuditLogDetails] WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT P.ID,D.RecordID, dbo.f_GetModification(D.Modifications,P.ID) AS Modifications
FROM dbo.AuditLogParent P
INNER JOIN dbo.AuditLogDetails AS D ON dbo.f_GetIfModificationExist(D.Modifications,P.ID)=1
The definition for UDF f_GetModification
ALTER function [dbo].[f_GetModification]( @Modifications xml,@PID uniqueidentifier )
returns xml
with schemabinding
as
begin
declare @pidstr varchar(100)
SET @pidstr = LOWER(CONVERT(varchar(100), @PID))
return @Modifications.query('/Modifications/modification[@ID eq sql:variable("@pidstr")]')
end
The definition for UDF f_GetIfModificationExist
ALTER function [dbo].[f_GetIfModificationExist]( @Modifications xml,@PID uniqueidentifier )
returns Bit
with schemabinding
as
begin
declare @pidstr varchar(100)
SET @pidstr = LOWER(CONVERT(varchar(100), @PID))
return @Modifications.exist('/Modifications/modification[@ID eq sql:variable("@pidstr")]')
end
The Statement to create the index is below.
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [IX_ID_RecordID] ON [dbo].[vwAuditLogDetails]
(
[ID] ASC,
[RecordID] ASC
)WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

I am trying to build the 2 node 2 clusters with the AlwaysOn.
Here isthe landscape.
2 nodes PROD failover cluster (running once instance)
2 nodes DR failover cluster (running 2 instances - DR and PRE-PROD)
Both clusters are in different geographies.
PRE-PROD can be editable. So out of scope of Always On.
One instance on PROD -> DR of the other box. [Want to achive thru AlwaysON]
Now my Question:
1) Do i need to have all the 4 nodes in same failover cluster group? If yes, then this would become MultiSubnet cluster Or Is there any way those 2 diffrerent failover clusters (one DR and one PROD) can be part of AlwaysOn.
2) Can i use the clustered disks as in the above landscape for always on?

- What are your thoughts on adding clustered index on datetime (createdDate , native GUID) column. The data will be be physically organized in the clustered index allowing range operations to perform its duties. But will the GUID column make any impact ( drawbacks) should it be made part of the clustered key ?
The GUID column will provide the lookup with the required indexes to support.

Is it possible for a clustered instance of SQL2012 to have 2 network names ?
Reason: I need to segregate admin access to a clustered instance so that the admins and SSMS connect via a different IP address than the application. I know I can block SSMS access via application-level firewalls, but ideally the application would connect to CLUSTER1INSTANCE01 on , say, 10.192.5.5, and the admins would connect to CLUSTER1ADMININSTANCE01 on 172.168.2.2, and they'd be the same instance, just using different names and IPs

I created a NC index as suggested by missing index DMV(of course I don't create them blindly). This one seemed to be a useful index but I now see from index usage stats that it only got scanned 50 times in 4 days.No seeks, no lookups. So is it a good idea keeping such index.The table on which this index is created is used more for reads and less for writes.

I am trying to tune a process that is running slowly. I analyzed the process using the Database Engine Tuning Advisor, and it recommended the creation of 3 indexes, all non-clustered:
1) ColA, include ColB
2) ColA, include ColC
3) ColA, include ColD
So... I created a single non-clustered index on:
4) ColA, include ColB, ColC, ColD
That should do the same thing, right? A look at my execution plan shows that the index I created is being scanned -- 3 times. What is puzzling me, though, is that the Database Engine Tuning Advisor is still recommending I create these 3 separate indexes, even with the index (4) that I created in existence.
If it matters, ColA, ColB, ColC and ColD are all int FKs.

PROD2(cluster 1)
DR 1 (cluster 2) Clustered SQL insatace 2
DR 2 (cluster 2)
I have set an availability group up from the PROD instance to the DR instance.How does the AG behave if a SQL instance fails at PROD? Does it try to fail over to Node 2 on Prod before going over to DR? or bring the Replica at DR online straight away? Can we only use Manual Failover of the AG in this scenario to make use of the High Availability of the Windows cluster?

how to reduce the cost of clustered index insert ?

Dec 1, 2014
I have a query which is primarily a victim of blocking and a blocker itself for other queries. I studied the plan for this and it shows a 42% cost on CI insert operation. The insert is happening on a table (Table A) that has a PK. This PK is not a running number. It is also a business key (primary key) in another master table (Table B).
My understanding is that the cost is heavy because -
1, this PK is not an incremental number. It could be any number not in a sequence.
2. while inserting into CI, there must be a scan happening to find out the location where the index will be inserted.
How can I reduce the cost?
1. Should I go for partitioning of this table Table A? I am trying to do this but I am not able to find any suitable partition key looking at the JOINS and filter clauses where this table is being used in the applicaiton.
2. Should I introduce a surrogate key (running number) as a primary key so that CI is faster ?

I have a table that has a clustered index that is only the identity column on the table. The table is somewhere around 200K rows and has 3800 pages in the index. We run our index maintenance every other day on this database using Ola's scripts and this index is rebuilt because it is 40-60% fragmented after 2 days. Overall, this isn't really too much of a problem since the index rebuild doesn't take too long, but I am puzzled as to how this index is getting fragmented since the only column in it is the identity.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Example](
[ExampleID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ExampleCode] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
[ForeignID] [int] NOT NULL,
[AnotherID] [int] NOT NULL,
[code]...
) ON [PRIMARY]There is nothing strange like updates to the identity happening and while some records are deleted, there has only been about 20,000 in the life of the table (months). Not enough to account for the level of fragmentation that we're seeing on the index.About the only thing I can think of that would cause fragmentation on this index in this scenario are:
1. Page splits caused by starting with a small value in one of the VARCHARs and later inserting a larger value
2. Page splits caused by the NULLABLE column, ExampleDate, starting with NULLs and later updating them to a date.
For #1, I had development check the update scenarios for the varchar columns, especially the varchar(1000) one, and they didn't see it as a common thing where the values would go from small (or empty) to large.
For #2, I checked and found that the only value for that column in the table is NULL so while it always starts as NULL, it never gets updated to anything else.
I've tried looking at sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats and the leaf_update_count is around 300,000, but unless those updates are causing page splits, I don't see how they would contribute to fragmentation.

I have a clustered index which shows as having a fragmentation level of 66% according to sys.dm_db_index_ physical_ stats.avg_ fragmentation_ in_ percent.
But no matter what I try the fragmentation level doesn't budge. And yes I'm updating the statistics after each attempt.Its not a huge issue the table only has 348 records. I'm testing a fixing fragmentation maintenance script. In Ironing out the syntax of my script I've fixed the fragmentation of indexes of over 65 % anyway..I've come across and index that I can't defragment. I've tried
ALTER INDEX ALL ON [GRIDINFO] REBUILD WITH (FILLFACTOR = 90)
I've tried
ALTER INDEX ALL ON [GRIDINFO] REORGANIZE
I've tried
DBCC INDEXDEFRAG (MYDATABASE, 'GRIDINFO', PK__GRIDINFO__3214EC2721F5FC7F);
The command complete successfully yet the avg_fragmentation_in_percent doesn't change. The table also has a nonclustered index. I've gleaned through all the statements of 'this will have no effect if' but so far I've not spotted a reason why this index won't defrag.The script has been modified to remove schema and database names for the forum.
dbcc showcontig('GRIDINFO','IDX_GRIDINFO1') with tableresults , all_levels
go
DBCC SHOWCONTIG ('GRIDINFO')

We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.

Approach 1:
Prod - shared storage between server 1 and 2
Server1: clustered SQL instance with availability group as primary
Server2: Passive server for clustered instance of PROD
DR - shared storage between server 1 and 2
Server1: Clustered SQL instance with availability group as replica
Server2: Passive server for clustered instance of DR
Approach 2: Using replicated SAN
Prod -
Server 1: Standalone instance with availability group as Primary
Server 2:Standalone instance with availability group as replica
DR -
Server 1: Offline until Disk group 1 (Prod server 1) has been broken and brought online at DR
Server 2: Offline until Disk group 2 (Prod server 2) has been broken and brought online at DR
Both these approaches will work wont they? I have only built and played with normal availability groups across servers, not mixing it with clustered instance replicated SAN
