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.

Multi-column Index Vs Single Column Indexes
Aug 14, 2007Hi,Would like to know the performance differenece between Multi-columnIndex vs Single Column Indexes. Let's say I have a table with col1,col2, col3 along with a primary key column and non-indexed columns.In queries, I will use col1, col2, and col3 together and some timesjust one or two of these three columns. My questions is, should Icreate one index contains col1, col2, and col3, or create 3 seperatedcolumns. I.e. each column has its own index. Any performancedifference?Thanks a lot.

Jul 23, 2005Hello everyone, I am new to ERWIN and I need helps from the experts outthere.We are using ERWin 4.1.2771 and have reversed engineered some MS SQLServer 2000 databases.The problem we are having is that we have a FK on a column to a tablewhere the PK of the referencing table is on another column (such as anidentity column). We have a unique index on the column in the PK tableand SQL Server allows you to build a FK reference even though thecolumn is not defined as the PK.Does anyone know how to create this type of FK within Erwin?Thank You

Multi Column Index
Apr 22, 2008Hi there,
My 'where' clause contains the following...
startdate <= @Date AND enddate > @Date
Should I put one index on 'startDate' and another on 'endDate' or should I have one index that covers both columns?
I don't know what the difference would be.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDateTime Column Not Using Index
Jul 11, 2006I'm having a hard time getting one of my tables to use a non clustered index that I have on a DateTime column.
A sample version of the table is something like this
CREATE TABLE Appointments
(
ID INT NOT NULL,
AppointmentDate DateTime NOT NULL
)
with a clustered primary key on ID and a nonclustered key on AppointmentDate.
This production table has over 1million rows and the problem I have is this:
If I do a SELECT * FROM Appointments where AppointmentDate >= '20060701' AND AppointmentDate < '20060702' the Non clustered index on the AppointmentDate column works fine. i.e. I'm returning all appointments for the 1st of July.
Now if I run the exact same query using datetime parameters, a Clustered index scan is performed instead of an index seek.
DECLARE @AppDate DateTime
SET @AppDate = '20060701'
SELECT * FROM Appointments WHERE AppointmentDate >= @AppDate and AppointmentDate < DATEADD(day, 1, @AppDate)
Any ideas why it would do this?

SQL 2012 :: Column Not Covered By Index?

Are you generally better off adding a new index or adding the column to an existing index ( included columns )Column: LAST_STATE_RESPONSE_CODE

View 13 Replies View RelatedPassing Second Column Of Table As Index
Aug 1, 2007
We are working on C++ in eVC++ 3.0 environment (CE 3.0) with SQL CE 2.0.
We are trying with IRowsetIndex:: Seek method to access the data from the database.
We are facing problem when we try to access data from the table having composite index other than the first column.
For example:
The table ITEM contains the following columns:
1. ItemCode
2. PcNo
3. SubPcNo
4. BrandNo
5. DescText
6. ProductionKind
7. ProductionState
8. ClearingState
9. ST
10. TS
I€™ve two indexes for this table where the two indexes are
1. ItemKey1 on ITEM (ItemCode).
2. ItemKey2 on ITEM (PcNo, SubPcNo, BrandNo).
If I mention ItemKey1 as the index then the Seek method works perfectly.
But if I mention ItemKey2 as the index, then I€™m getting the error as €śDB_E_BADBINDINFO€?.
When we visted the MSDN for this problem we noted that:
1. When you use the Seek method on multiple fields, the Seek fields must be in the same order as the fields in the underlying table. If they are not, the Seek method fails.
2. When passing key values to an index rowset, the consumer performs these actions only for the number of key columns specified in the cKeyValues argument in IRowsetIndex:: Seek.
So we had the composite index such that columns of a composite index are physically aligned next to each other as in the table.
When the first column of the index is the first column of the table as in index ItemKey1 we found that the seek method works perfectly.
If we pass the index ItemKey2, we are again getting the error €śDB_E_BADBINDINFO€?.
What else have we missed out while passing the keys in IRowsetIndex:: Seek?
Thanks in advance.

Sasi.
Partitioned Index Column Order
Aug 22, 2007We are using partitioned unique indexes on partitioned tables. When the Unique Index is built, should the column the index is partitioned by be the top (leftmost) column in the index? While this violates cardinality, it makes sense (at least to me) that the first thing the query execution would do is figure out which partition(s) contain the result set, then filter from there.
What do you guys think? Is there any documentation on optimizing partitioned indexes?
Do You Include Clustered Index Column In Other Indexes?
Apr 3, 2002I have a database where records are Inserted by an external process.
There is no updating or deleting of the data once inserted. The table in
question has a Clustered Index on the Machine_ID (integer) (data is from
manufacturing processes). Each record bears a start and end time. Most
queries involve the Machine, a time span (start time between to points in
time), the Downtime Cause, and the Running Mode.
I want to add an index on the Start Time, the Downtime Cause, and the
Runtime Mode.
My question is: should this new index also contain the Machine_id column
or does the existence of the Clustered Index already on that column negate
its need in the new index?

Composite Clustered Index - Column Order
May 29, 2007Want to check my thinking with you folks...
I have a table with a clustered composite index, consisting of 3 columns, which together form a unique key. For illustration, the columns are C1, C2 & C3.
Counts of distinct values for columns are C1 425, C2 300,000 & C3 4,000,000
C3 is effectively number of seconds since 01/01/1970.
The usage of the table is typically, insert a row, do something else, then update it.
Currently, the index columns are ordered C3,C1,C2. Fill factor of 90%.
My thinking is that this composite index is better ordered C1,C2,C3.
My reasoning is that having C3 as the leading column, biases all the inserts towards one side of the indexes underlying B-tree, causing page splits. Also, there'll be a bunch of "wasted" space across the tree, as the values going into C3 only ever get bigger (like an identity), so the space due to the fill factor in lower values never gets used.
Welcome your thoughts.
