T-SQL (SS2K8) :: When Do Non Clustered Index Are Updated

Nov 30, 2014

I have written an update, if i see the execution plan of that update, it is showing the Non Clustered index are updated. I am not able to understand the fact, that when there was no change in Leaf level root data how does Non clustered index got updated.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Non-clustered Index On Temp Table?

Nov 2, 2010

I am trying to create a temp table with a non-clustered index.

Originally I tried to create the index after I created the table.

This seemed to work fine, so I added my stored procedure to our Production environment.

However, when two users called the stored procedure at once I got the following error:

There is already an object named 'IX_tmpTableName' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

I then found that SQL Server does generate unique names for the temp table but not all the objects associated with the temp table if they are explicitly named.

This is easy enough to solve for a PRIMAY KEY or UNIQUE constraint because the do not have to be named.

Is there a way to create an non-clustered index on a temp table without naming it?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Joining On A Table With Unique Clustered Index

Mar 7, 2015

I have three sprocs and three tables. I was told to use a clustered index in the first table and a unique clustered index on the second table. I never asked about the third table and the person I need to ask is on vacation. Most of the contents of the first table will be joined with all of the contents of the second table into the third table. Do I need to have a unique clustered index on the third table too?

The clustered index in the first sproc is on a unique key that I had created using by concatenating several columns together.

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_UNIQUE_KEY ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (UNIQUE_KEY);
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_DATE ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (PERIOD);
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_ODS_ID ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data
(GL_SEG1_COMPANY_ODS_ID, GL_SEG2_PROFIT_CTR_ODS_ID, GL_SEG3_LOB_ODS_ID, GL_SEG4_PRODUCT_DEPT_ODS_ID, GL_SEG5_ACCOUNT_ODS_ID);

The second sproc with the unique clustered index is on the unique key from the first table and a date attribute.

CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_UNIQUE_KEY ON MRP.[MGN_OPT_KPI_SOURCE] (UNIQUE_KEY, PERIOD);

In the third sproc, I'll have a nonclusted index on the ODS_ID attributes, but I'm unsure of how to go about the clustered index situation.

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_ODS_ID ON MRP.MGN_OPT_KPI_VALUES
(GL_SEG1_COMPANY_ODS_ID, GL_SEG2_PROFIT_CTR_ODS_ID, GL_SEG3_LOB_ODS_ID, GL_SEG4_PRODUCT_DEPT_ODS_ID, GL_SEG5_ACCOUNT_ODS_ID);

Simple Query Chooses Clustered Index Scan Instead Of Clustered Index Seek

Nov 14, 2006

the 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?

DB Engine :: How To Convert Unique Clustered Index Into Clustered Primary Key To Use With Change Tracking

Sep 4, 2015

We 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.

DB Design :: Script To Create Table With Primary Key Non-clustered And Clustered Index

Aug 28, 2015

I 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.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblNotificationMgr](
[NotificationMgrKey] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ContactKey] [int] NOT NULL,
[EventTypeEnum] [tinyint] NOT NULL,

[code]....

Data Warehousing :: Difference Between Primary Key With Clustered And Non-clustered Index

Jul 19, 2013

I 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, 2006

Hi 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

Include Clustered Index In Non-clustered Index?

Oct 15, 2007

Hi 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!
Ralf

Clustered Index On Client_ID+ORderNO+OrdersubNo, If I Create 3 Noncluster Index On Said Column Will It Imporve Performance

Dec 5, 2007



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.

Clustered And Non Clustered Index On Same Columns

Nov 1, 2007

I have a table<table1> with 804668 records primary on table1(col1,col2,col3,col4)

Have created non-clustered index on <table1>(col2,col3,col4),to solve a performance issue.(which is a join involving another table with 1.2 million records).Seems to be working great.

I want to know whether this will slow down,insert and update on the <table1>?

Advantages Of Using Nonclustered Index After Using Clustered Index On One Table

Jul 3, 2006

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 ??

Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Clustered Index Key Order In NC Index

Mar 5, 2015

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?

Clustered Index Vs. Full Text Index

Jun 18, 2008

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.

Thank you

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: INSERT Only When Value Has Been Updated?

Oct 14, 2014

I have database that holds column depicting various events and the last time that the event occurred.I query the database and I get a result like this:

Event Update Time
Event A 2014-10-14 00:35:00.000
Event B 2014-10-14 01:30:00.000
Event C 2014-10-14 00:35:00.000

Event L 2100-01-01 00:00:00.000..I would like to create another database to hold the various timestamps for each event. Some of these events happen every 2 minutes, others hourly, daily or monthly.I can query the source every minute. I do not want duplicate entries in the destination when the 'Update Time' has not been updated. Is it better to query the destination for the latest 'Update Time' value and only INSERT the new record when the time has been updated or just put a UNIQUE constraint on the Event and UpdateTime columns?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Get Last Inserted / Updated Record In Server

Apr 24, 2015

We are getting data feed from Oracle database in our project. Everyday we will need to track if any rows got inserted/updated/deleted in the source and get that update right into our data warehouse.

Currently we are taking a dump of the required table (as it is) to our staging DB and comparing it with previous day data to track the changes (column by column comparison). This approach is working currently but has performance bottleneck. There is no tracking column (eg. last modified date or time) in source that will give us any idea of what got changed. Also there is no identity key or primary key in the source data.

Is there a way in SQL Server to get that inserted/updated records only instead of comparing column by column to track the changes?

Index - Clustered Or Not?

May 22, 2000

Hi,
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.

Non Clustered Index

Nov 11, 2012

In Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2005 I have the ability to add a single non clustered index on a table on multiple columns (ordered how I want) AND/OR I may create a multiple of these non-clustered Index entries with a single column per non-clustered index.

Is there a difference between to two options? If yes, how do these options work differently? I assume option 1 is just a faster way of creating the non-clustered index and there is no architectural difference!?

Clustered Index And PK

Jan 14, 2007

Hi,

I have a table which I would like to index.
The table holds info of nurses:
T_NURSE=(NurseCode, LName, FName, IDNumber ...)
NurseCode => PK+Identity


Since queries will be on LName (and optionally on FName and IDNumber) I created a clustered index with this order: {LName, FName, IDNumber, NurseCode}

Questions:
1.Is it ok to have the clustered index not the PK?
2.If yes - what importance does the PK have here?
Looking for a nurse via screen (using:LName,FName,ID) or via source-code (using:NurseCode) is 50%/50%.
Which field(s) should have the honor of being a PK?
3.If I perform the search using a view (SELECT * FROM vw_Nurse) will it use the index?

Thanks,
Izik

What Do You Mean 'clustered' Index?

Jul 17, 2006

A lot of detailed discussion explains the difference between clusteredand non-clustered indexes. But very few 'clarifies' why the term usedis 'clustered'. Well, once and for all, this is my take.*** The 'CLUSTERED' adjective refers to the INDEX being clustered (setadjacent) to the DATA.This means if you found the index, the data is already there beside it(you don't have to look anywhere else). From this note, everythinghopefully becomes clearer to you. (You can now read further in the techbook :-).So, the next time you are asked to explain what is a clustered (ornon-clustered ) index think of the above.

Will Non-clustered INDEX Really Help!!!

Sep 28, 2006

Hi,

I have a table Student with N number of columns.
One of the column (int) is flgActive - which currently holds only 2 values either 0 / 1.

Depending on the operation I want do - I either include the where clause flgActive = 0 or flgActive = 1 in my queries. Basically I either fetch non-active students or active students.

Whenever I need to turn a student to Nonactive - flgactive column is updated to 0.

Will a non clustered index on flgActive column help in my querying - when all the records in the table is going to contain only 2 different values. (Assume that the student table holds abt 2 Million records with about 30% of the students nonactive.)

Thanks,
Loonysan

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Return Primary Key From (updated) Record Of Merge Statement

How do I set Member_ID to be an autoincrement field ( each should start at 1 for each Group_ID).

Can SQL Server autoincrement feature do this?

If not is the best way then use a stored procedure to get the max member_ID for that Group, increment it with 1 and the assign it to the new member_ID?
