SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Update Statistics On Frequently Updated Tables
Dec 23, 2014
I'm working on databases where statistics of some indexes (tables) are changing too frequently. Once I update them manually, one minute after they get 10-20% change, and five minutes after they get over 100% change. Tables get updated very frequently (multiple times in a second).
When I run a query to read from sys.stats, sys.dm_db_stats_properties and other dynamic views, I see that they were last updated when I did it manually, but the change rate overpassed the 500+20% (tables have multiples of 10K rows). Auto create and update statistics are set to true on all databases, and I don't know why sql server does not do that automatically.

I have a query that retrieves a single record from searching on two tables.
The statement goes like this...
select sum(amount) from Table1 A union Table2 B on a.id = b.id
where date < ### and date > #### and account = ###
As people are running a particular report, this statement is executed time and
time again to pull up the numbers necesarry for the report. When the report gets slow, I can speed it up by updating the statistics. My concern is that I'm having to update the statistcs every hour; otherwise, the query becomes slow. I have noticed that users are inserting data while users are running the report on one of the tables listed above. I'm sure that's making it become more fragmented and ultimately slowing down the query.
Do you have any suggestion on how I can make the union of these two tables faster? Or is there anything I could do to speed the query besides creating clusted indexes?
Any help would be appreciated....thank you

I'm looking for a quick script that someone has already written to update statistics (not to rebuild or re-organise) on specific indices in specific databases - I guess loop though a table comprising of a list of databases and the indices.
I know Ola has one but I'm not look for something that is that complicated. If I cannot find one I'm going to have to write one myself - I want to try and avoid re-inventing the wheel as tomorrow I have to do this work and it's about 7K plus indices in about 10+ databases.

We installed SP1 for SQL Server 2014 this past weekend and got this error message in the logs. I found that if you set the db to read-write, it updates the system objects, even after SP1 has completed. Then you can set it back to read-only. I'm just posting this so other people can find it on the internet, as I wasn't able to find it specifically.
Error Log Entry:System objects could not be updated in database 'x' because it is read-only.
Problem: After installing SP1 for SQL Server 2014 you will find this message in the error logs saying read-only databases could not be updated.
Solution: Simply set the db to read-write and the system objects will get updated, long after SP1 was installed.
ALTER DATABASE [x] SET READ_WRITE WITH NO_WAIT
Then set it back to read-only:
ALTER DATABASE [x] SET READ_ONLY WITH NO_WAIT
You should then see these log entries:
System objects could not be updated in database 'x' because it is read-only.
Setting database option READ_WRITE to ON for database 'x'.
Starting up database 'x'.
CHECKDB for database 'x' finished without errors on 2015-07-25 01:02:28.143 (local time). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
Synchronize Database 'x' (129) with Resource Database.
Setting database option READ_ONLY to ON for database 'x'.
Starting up database 'x'.
CHECKDB for database 'x' finished without errors on 2015-07-25 01:02:29.888 (local time). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.

I had to reinstall my local copy of SQL a few weeks ago, which naturally overwrote the
msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_server_groups_internal and
msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal tables.
However I still have the local XML file that SSMS reads so I can still access the groups, I just get weird errors when trying to re-register my install as the new CMS. How to rebuilt those tables from the XML file or know of a way to repopulate?

We are in the middle of re-designing few tables (namely transaction tables) that would store very large data and would be hosted on cloud (Azure). The old design of this product breaks transaction tables into monthly tables. i.e. say ORDERS Table would be physically broke into twelve monthly tables over a year like ORDERS0115 (mmyy), ORDERS0215 and so on.
We are in the opinion that keeping the entire transactions in one Table is better. Would like to know what's the best practices for transaction tables like the one mentioned above? Is it better to use one table with partitions. I read somewhere that partitions can slow down SELECT queries if not designed and thought properly.Since this would be hosted on cloud (Azure), do you think some additional things are to be taken care? How a site like Amazon keeps their transactions tables?

I have 6 tables which are very huge in row count and need to be partitioned for better manageability.
Little info: Every day, 300 Million records are inserted and 300 million records are deleted in below 7 tables. we maintain only 8 days worth of data in below tables which is the reason records which are older than 8 days are continuously deleted.
Master table which has [ID],[Timestamp]
Table Name: Sample - 2,578,106
Child tables: Foreign key [ID] is common for all the tables. There is no timestamp column in child table.
dbo.ConnectionDB - 1,147,578,048
dbo.ConnectionSS - 876,458,321
dbo.ConnectionRT - 118,133,857
dbo.ConnectionSample - 100,038,535
dbo.Command - 100,032,235
I would like to partition the above child tables based on the IDs that are inserted every 4 hours. Meaning, All IDs that are inserted in 4 hours window should be in a partition.

I created columnstore index on the table with 20 columns and about 1000 000 000 rows
every day added about 5M rows
"select" queries became faster because of batch mode and table demand less disk space then before
I have also 6 similar tables with 5 000 000 000 rows and plan to move them on columnstore index
server has 128 G RAM
What pitfalls I could face if I will have so many columnstore indexes on one server?
How a could see problems in DMV?

I have a job scheduled that imports a table from a Oracle database. The job runs at 3am and reports success. But for some reason when i query the table to see how many records there are, I see the same row count as the day before (it should increase everyday- student enrollment). When i execute the package manually, the table updates fine.
SQL Server 2014/Win7 x64.

We face slow performance issue for like taking long time for same query execution after We apply index rebuild and reorganize index. But, after execution of query or procedure for 2 -3 times, performance will be faster. I have following questions
1 do we need to update stats after we rebuild an reorganize index.
2. is it will be slow for 1-2 times for every query and stored procedure execution after we rebuild and reorganize index?

If you were to do a fresh install it would set permissions on the disk so everything just works.
Now when changing the service account (e.g. to a domain user) use the configuration manager, does it do the same magic (possibly sans if the database data/log files are on another disk)? Or do you need to trawl through the dozens of folders and assign rights manually?

I have the following setup:
- An MSSQL 2014 Standard server that houses multiple small databases (in excess of a hundred).
- These databases are frequently dropped and restored by an application that uses this SQL Server.
- There is a business need for this setup at this time, so I can't get away from it. Therefore answers like "don't have so many small databases that are frequently dropped and restored" would be somewhat unuseful
This is the problem I have:
- When I connect SSMS 2014 to the server and expand the "Databases" node, it takes forever to display. In comparison, SSMS 2008 connected to SQL 2008R2 server with the same number of databases displays the Databases tree very quickly.
I ran a trace to see what exactly SSMS 2014 is doing. When the "Databases" node is expanded, it runs a query that checks each database for Memory-Optimized Tables (new and wonderful feature of SQL 2014 for sure, but I'm not using it, at least yet). Naturally, when you have to loop through over a hundred DBs, it takes time. Worse yet, if one of these DBs is in process of being restored, the query sits and waits to time out before proceeding to the next DB. Sometimes this causes outright timeouts. Here is the query:
use [MyDatabase]
SELECT
ISNULL((select top 1 1 from sys.filegroups FG where FG.[type] = 'FX'), 0) AS [HasMemoryOptimizedObjects]
To be sure, this is NOT a SQL Server performance issue. This server processes a rather heavy workload and has been doing so for over a month, and the workload completes within expected time limits or better. Even so I've done some basic performance measuring, and the server itself is quite all right.
Moreover, if I connect SSMS 2008 to it, I get an error message (Index out of bounds or somesuch), but SSMS 2008 does connect, and displays the Databases tree much faster than SSMS 2014.
I'd like to turn off the option to check for Memory Optimized Objects altogether, as I'm not using the feature.

I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.

I have got 4 MS Access Database Files, which have got 3 Tables each, means Total 12 Tables which gets updated with new data every evening, by an external application. Means new data gets appended to all these 12 Tables.
I want to have exact same 4 Databases, which have got 3 Tables each, means Total 12 Tables, but WITHIN MS SQL SERVER. And then update all of these 12 Tables every evening, with the corresponding updates from the respective tables from the MS Access Databases.
I do not want to Manually Update all these 12 tables every evening into SQL Server. Hopefully there would be some easier method to do this in automatic manner.

I ran an INDEXDEFRAG against the tables in my DB, & yet the results in DBCC SHOWCONTIG are the same before and after for some of the tables that it defragmented. Why?
In the DBCC SHOWCONTIG before defragging, this was a sample table:
Table1:
- Pages Scanned................................: 2279
- Extents Scanned..............................: 294
- Extent Switches..............................: 293
- Avg. Pages per Extent........................: 7.8
- Scan Density [Best Count:Actual Count].......: 96.94% [285:294]
- Extent Scan Fragmentation ...................: 4.42%
- Avg. Bytes Free per Page.....................: 358.9
- Avg. Page Density (full).....................: 95.57%
I ran the script from the BOL entry for 'DBCC SHOWCONTIG' to defragment all indexes in a database , under letter E, with @maxfrag = 5%. It returned the following results (there are 5 nonclustered indexes):
Executing DBCC INDEXDEFRAG (0, table1,
3) - fragmentation currently 13%
Pages Scanned Pages Moved Pages Removed
------------- ----------- -------------
1146 1088 0
(1 row(s) affected)

DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

5) - fragmentation currently 13%

------------- ----------- -------------
509 509 0

(1 row(s) affected)
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Executing DBCC INDEXDEFRAG (0, table1,
6) - fragmentation currently 13%
Pages Scanned Pages Moved Pages Removed
------------- ----------- -------------
720 685 0
Running DBCC SHOWCONTIG again, the results were exactly the same for Table1.
Thanks for any advice to interpret this information.

Hi
My understanding is that whenever any INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE statements execute that impacts significant amount of rows in a table, its statistics must be automatically updated by SQL Server. But it was surprise to see in the profiler that after INSERT no update statistics event happen. But the moment a SELECT is executed on the table the event 'Auto Stats' is shown up. What is the reason behind this? Why the Auto Stats not happening immediately after the INSERT statement?
Following code can be used to illustrate this (in the profiler select the Auto Stats event under Performance):
IF(SELECT OBJECT_ID('t1')) IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE t1
GO
CREATE TABLE t1(c1 INT, c2 INT IDENTITY)
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES(1)
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES(2)
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES(3)
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX i1 ON t1(c1)
GO
--Now add 10,000 rows to update so that statistics are updated. Look into the profiler:
SET NOCOUNT ON
GO
DECLARE @n INT
SET @n = 1
WHILE @n <= 10000
BEGIN
INSERT INTO t1 (c1) VALUES(2)
SET @n = @n + 1
END
SET NOCOUNT OFF
GO
--Next runt he following statement. The profiler will now show 'Auto Stats' event
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE c1 = 2
Regards
Sanjay Singh

Hi guys,
I faced problem related to Locking and Isolation Level on Table(s).
My problems is there r some tables which r frequently updated, and I also want to fire select query over those tables every 1 seconds and want to get only committed records.
In current scenario we start transactions with ReadCommitted Lock for updating records. But in this scenario I can€™t get select query result because of some of recourses r used by transactions so after some time it gives Deadlock error.
So I want solution like both operation run simultaneously and get only committed records at a time of transaction running
Please help me for solving my problem.

I want to use BCP to load data from a text file.
By default, constraints are turned off in bcp, so I use the CHECK_CONSTRAINTS hint.
bcp aborts if ANY of the rows contains a FK violation. No data get loaded.
So if I add the -b 1 batch size option, it loads all data UNTIL the first FK violation, but nothing after that.
I want to load EVERYTHING ... except for the violations. But bcp won't let me. Is there a way?
