Automating Table Defrag
May 26, 1999I'd like to build a process that will identify all the tables in a database with a scan density less than 100% and generate 'dbcc dbreindex' statements for them. The 'dbcc showcontig' command displays the information I want but I don't know how to access this information from within a script. Any ideas out there?
View 5 Replies View RelatedDefrag Or Not To Defrag
Mar 14, 2007I have been reading many things on the internet and I wanted to create a thread asking my question here. We currently do all the re-indexing and show contig's etc to maintain my sql data and to ensure everything is good to go there.
My question is, what about the physical drive and data. We house our mdf's on a raid 1_0 and our ldfs on raid 5. I am wondering if I need to defrag these drives b/c if not am i impacting my I/O on that box. If so should I stop the sql service so that it does not corrupt SQL data? Any help on this topic would be great.

How To Defrag A Table?
Jul 30, 2004I have a large table with no PK but has other indexes. How to defrag the table (not the indexes)? Do I need to drop and re-create the table or something?
Thanks.
Defrag SQL SERVER
Feb 13, 2004Folks
Our sql server machine is badly in need of a defrag however I'm a bit weary of doing this as I'm really not sure of the implications or indeed how to do it.
I'm really not a server type of person so any assistance would be gratefully received. If anyone can explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old then that would probably be best!
Cheers
Database Defrag
Jul 14, 2004Hello,
I am working with a very large db (850+gig) that is in desperate need of defragging. I am familiar with DBCC Reindex and DBCC IndexDefrag but am concerned that these processes will take an extremely long time to run. Has anyone had any experience with any 3rd party tools that better/faster then DBCC? Or any ideas or suggestions how best to attack this? Among the many tables with large footprints and millions of rows, I have 3 tables with reserved space over 100g also 3 tables with over 500Mil rows (1 tbl with > 1bil rows). This is a 24x7 db.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions

Defrag / Reindex
Oct 21, 2007I#ve been doing disaster recovery on a web box that died today.
So I thought I'd do some "downtime" maintenance on the DB server
I ran a BDREINDEX on all tables, all indexes. (I know this is the 2000 way, but I assume its as good as the proper 2005 way??).
5 minutes on a 10GB database. Not bad!
I checked the DEFRAG and UPDATE STATS processes that run overnight.
They are basically defragging only tables with SHOWCONTIG indicating fragmentation. And then doing an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN on all tables
That is taking an average of 30 minutes ...
Is DBREINDEX the equivalent of an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN, or is it in some way a smaller-sample version?
I'm wondering why I don't just lock the DB and do a REINDEX of everything in 5 minutes ...

Aug 22, 2007Is there any easy way to defrag a table with no clustered idx other than bcp out then back in ? (SQL 2000)Actually I have a 100GB db that I deleted data from other tables, about 10GB worth, but access to the table in question (38GB) seems to have slowed down dramatically, Or does the entire disk need to be defragmented and a bcp out/in would be a waste of time on this table ?I run an index defrag every night, reindex weekly.Thanks.

I use the REORGANIZE option of ALTER INDEX. It's default is ONLINE, no matter what the engine edition and makes for simpler code.
I also make heavy use of my own logging tables, which are included at the bottom of the sp.

Index Rebuild Does Not Defrag

View 2 Replies View RelatedMS SQL Question Regarding Page/index Defrag.
Apr 17, 2005I know the shortcut to 'defragging' the database to eliminate and
reclaim 'whitespace' in data and index pages is to setup a maintenance
plan. This doesn't work for me for two reasons:
1. I like to know how things work.
2. I can not create maintenance plans with my hosted provider.
I use the following T-SQL to rebuild all indexes on all tables:
-- exec sp_MSforeachtable "DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 90)
But, does that not only address indexes? What about getting whitepace
back from data in tables themselves?
Am I over-thinking this?
When you're paying for SQL by the MB and generate a lot of data (with a
fair amount of churn) you want to keep it optimized and efficient,
right?
Dbreindex Vs Index Defrag Question
Mar 9, 2007Does anyone know if dbreindex and index defrag ideally perform the same function? I have been told that index defrag does not hold locks on a table when executed and dbreindex does. Other than this is there any difference between the two functions? My understanding was that dbreindex reindexes the data stored in a table for faster reads and index defrag removes purged data. Am I correct? I am currently running both functions on my SQL server and was advised that I really only need to run the index defrag job. Is this advise correct?

The command complete successfully yet the avg_fragmentation_in_percent doesn't change. The table also has a nonclustered index.

DB Engine :: Index Defrag Routine Audit Frag Values
Aug 26, 2015I am currently re-writing an overnight index defrag procedure and would like to audit indexes in my database - logging the before defrag action" avg fragmentation value and "after defrag action" frag value in an audit table. This will be for all databases on the server. I have completed the vast majority of it (cycling though all the databases, detecting which indexes need reorganising or rebuilding and inserting the information into a table) but I cannot get the audit values working properly. For example, a sample row in my audit table would look like this:
ID Name DB Table frag_before frag_after
1 Index2 DB1 Table6 70.33456 0.03
2 Index7 DB1 Table9 45.98 1.2567etc

Transact SQL :: Index Maintenance / Defrag Fails On CDC Enabled Database - 2008 R2

"Executing the query "EXEC DBName.dbo.IndexDefrag_sp" failed with the following error: "The unique index 'PK_TableName' on source table '[dbo].[TableName]' is used by Change Data Capture. To alter or drop the index, you must first disable Change Data Capture on the table. The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly" We would like to run the index maintenance without losing the cdc data. We plan on installing SP2 on SQL Server 2008 R2 soon, would that solve the issue? Disabling the cdc prior to index maintenance and then re-enabling back upon completion; would delete the data as I found in most discussions, but we would like to retain it.
Automating Using DTS
Mar 14, 2006I am trying to create a process to automate the FTP process and then IMPORT to a table. Once Import is complete, I would like to move the file from the FTP server and rename it. I tested the "commands" via CMD and it works. I then created a store procedure with the DOS commands to rename/move the source file. The command executes and deletes the file from the source, however, the copied files to a different destination disappeared. I did a search in my local hard drive(testing using my local folders), but can't find where the copied/renamed file went.
HEre is the portion of the commands:
SET @cmd ='Copy "C:Documents and SettingsegllareMy DocumentsBoxtestData.txt" "C:Documents and SettingsegllareMy DocumentsArchiveCopybox.%random%.bak"'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
GO
Can you please tell me what's wrong with this,
or direct me to a sample store procedure I can model..
TIA

Oct 14, 2005We're trying to put a view of data maintained in desktop Access databases online and into SQL Server.The desktop Access system uses separate databases instead of tables within one database, It's a strange design, but it can't be changed.We have been importing all of the separate databases into a single, new Access database, then upsizing the new databse to SQL Server, then uploading it.This is not going to work long term, because we are stuck with a 250 mB Access database to upsize and upload, when we never need to update more than 2 or 3 of the tables and upload more than 2 mB.We'd like to be able to upload only the tables -- preferably the Access *.mdb's -- that have changed, and then replace the SQL Server tables with the new information. And we'd like to automate it as much as possible, without upsizing Wizardy.I don't know where to even begin looking for information about how this might be done.Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.- Tinker
