Third Party Reindexing Utilities

Jul 23, 2005

Folks,

I work on a system which is growing rapidly, with the number of
transactions we process growing on a daily basis. While this is good
news or the business, maintenance is starting to become an issue as the
database is the backend for a website which cannot be down for a
lengthy period of time.

While I do defrag the indexes, periodically the indexes do need to be
rebuilt. When this happens, the process locks pages and transactions
start getting bounced out.

Are their any third party utilities which will rebuild an index
without this locking occuring? Any help in pointing me in the right
direction would be appreciated.

16 Bit-client Utilities

Mar 30, 2000

Hi all,

I am going to upgrade a SQL server 6.5 box to SQL7.0. The 16 bit-client utilities are a prerequisite because there is a 16-bit application and requires some of the database libraries. My question is how does SQL7.0 deal with 16-bit application? In my case, could I upgrade the SQL6.5 box to SQL7.0?

I appreciate any input and help ahead,

Hi,

I heard from a guy that the client utilities (Enterprice Manager and Query Analyser) that are on the Sql Server 2000 CD can be fetched separatly from Microsoft and that they can be deployed with MSDE to a potential customer.

Is that correct?

And if it is, where can I obtain those client apps?

TIA

DTS Version Control Utilities?

Jun 15, 2001

We are looking for utilities to help us manage DTS packages. Specifically to help us track changes in the packages in a fairly fine-grained fashion; several layers deeper than the version listing under package info, for example. Think of it as an object-oriented diff utility if you will, something that can report on changes in a package very specifically; for example, we need to know that step 4 of a package is a SQL widget and the text has changed between versions, and what the changes are. Converting the package to a VB project & versioning the source text doesn't work, for several reasons too complicated to state here.

Is there aything like this available? We would rather buy than build, but I haven't seen anything like this yet. If anyone has experience with such a utility I would appreciate knowing about this. Thanks.

Reindexing Tables

Sep 17, 2001

I've just recently tried to perform a scheduled reindexing job with the following command:

EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?')"

Unfortunately, this command has only finished once of the five or six times I've tried to run it. The times it has failed, it deadlocks behind what seems to be a succession of other transactions. How can I make sure this command finishes?

6) Restore the backup

Refragmentation And Reindexing

Dec 27, 2007

Hi experts,
For defragmenation and reindexing they are using the below cursor, and now they have asked me to remove the cursor and schedule the job accordingly to do the same functionality, so what will be the other way we can do without cursor? can you plase let me know the solution?


DECLARE @Database VARCHAR(255)
DECLARE @Table VARCHAR(255)
DECLARE @cmd NVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @fillfactor INT

SET @fillfactor = 90

DECLARE DatabaseCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT database_name FROM dbadmin.dbo.tdbstatus WHERE status='y'
AND database_name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb','tempdb')
ORDER BY 1

OPEN DatabaseCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM DatabaseCursor INTO @Database
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @cmd = 'DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT table_catalog + ''.'' + table_schema + ''.'' + table_name as tableName
FROM ' + @Database + '.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE table_type = ''BASE TABLE'''

-- create table cursor
EXEC (@cmd)
OPEN TableCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @Table
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN




SET @cmd = 'ALTER INDEX ALL ON ' + @Table + ' REBUILD WITH (FILLFACTOR = ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(3),@fillfactor) + ')'
EXEC (@cmd)

FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @Table
END

CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor

Maintenance Plan, Reindexing

Mar 24, 2005

In the Enterprise Manager of SQL Server 2000 I have set up a maintenance plan which rebuilds my indexes. I've stuided the documentation, and from what I've learned what happens behind the curtain is that several DBCC REINDEX commands are being issued.
Question:
If I have 20 tables and 40 indexes: Will SQL Server do the maintance plan in 1 single transaction, or will it divide the it up to eg. 20 or 40 transactions?

Reindexing And Transaction Logs

Dec 14, 2004

Hi All,

Just after some feedback on a scenario where we have full logging setup on one of the databases, and the transaction logs are backed up every 60min. At 0000-0100 the log jumps from being a few thousand k up to over 1.7gb.
I did some profiling for this time, and it appears that this jump is related to the reindexing of the indexes on the database.

Is this normal for the log file to jump in size so much? Or is this an indication of some other issue (potentially with the indexes)?

Is there any way that the reindexing can be excluded from the log files or is this a necessity?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers
Troy

Effect On Snapshots While Reindexing

Apr 30, 2007

Does someone know if doing a reindex on a clustered or non-clustered index cause the snapshot file to grow? In other words, is the data that makes up the snapshot copied from the source to the snapshot database? If a normal reindex is done on the underlying database, will it block users from acessing the snapshot? Any help would be appreciated.

Utilities For Comparing Stored Procedure Results?

Dec 11, 2007

I have large stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 that often get updated. Sometimes it is very difficult to recognize how one change could impact the overall results. I would like to have some sample input that I could test during changes and see it compare the data results before & after my changes. This would help me quickly identify if the results are fine to pass through.

So basically I would like an easy way to compare the results of 2 stored procedures. Any suggestions or utilites that would help me do this?

CLR Programming: Best Place To Define Utilities Functions

Apr 27, 2007

Hallo,

I find the CLR integration very handy and I would like to use it in the proper way but I need some helps because is not easy to find "best practice" programming info.

This is what I have to do: from a "period" coming from the DB I have to compute start/End date and save them in the DB.

The computation involves regular expression and several functions that makes several calculations on date type variable.

I have created my UserDefinedFunction class that contains the TV function to return a row with 2 fields (startdate,enddate).
Now my question is: what is the base place to define my utilities functions that perform the computation?
In the same class or it is better to add a new class?

For example I have created a module that contains all the Regular expressions patterns.

Any help is appreciated!

Thankx

Marina B.

Extent Fragmentation High Just After Reindexing

Jul 18, 2007

Hello. When reviewing the DBCC SHOWCONTIG immediately after reindexing all indexes on a database, I see the ExtentFragmentation has values like 50 to 70%... These are SQL 2005 tables with clustered PK's, no large varchars/blobs, and at least 100 pages in the index... The numbers related to PAGE fragmentation are ok after reindexing, but not the EXTENT fragmentation numbers.



I noticed the drive is in need of being defragged at the disk level. Is that a reason why reindexing doesn't fix the Extent frag numbers?? ANy other ideas on this? I can try defragging the DISK over the weekend, bringing the database offline then, but any other thougths on why the Extents show these high %'s? Is there any command to reset them and maybe that isn't happening? Like must I do update usage to get valid Extent frag #'s??



If there were MANY autogrows on the files, is that a different level of fragmentation? and how could all those small pieces of files be pulled back together? Thanks, Bruce
