Removal Of Selected Indexes / Script Index Create For List Of Indexes
Jul 1, 2014I'm working to improve performance on a database I've inherited, and there are several thousand indexes. I've got a list of ones which should definitely exist within the database, and I'm looking to strip out all the others and start fresh, though this list is still quite large (1000 or so).
Is there a way I can remove all the indexes that are not in my list without too much trouble? I.e. without having to manually go through them all individually. The list is currently in a csv file.
I'm looking to either automate the removal of indexes not in the list, or possibly to generate the Create statements for the indexes on the list and simply remove all indexes and then run these statements.
As an aside, when trying to list all indexes in the database, I've found various scripts to do this, but found they all seem to produce differing results. What is the best script to list all indexes?

Apr 7, 2008I deployed a report I created to Reporting Services using Management Studio. From here I could create subscriptions, if I choose. I created a linked report in a different folder from the original report. I defined all the parameters for this linked report. I cannot create subscriptions for the linked report - the context menu items are grayed out.
Anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to correct it?
Create Indexes In SQL 7.0
Mar 13, 2000When creating the indexes on the table, SQL 7.0 also created some type of system indexes ( ex. _WA_Sys_curr_int_rate_2C88998B nonclustered, statistics, auto create located on PRIMARY, etc. ). I want to know how can I clear up these system indexes.

Does 7.0 Create Permanent Indexes On Its Own??
Oct 29, 1999Hello,
A few months ago, the company I work for switched to SQL 7.0 from 6.5. All is running fine but recently I noticed that we have a ton of indexes on each table that start like this: _WA_SYS_....0B679CE2 (here are some specific examples: _WA_SYS_PRODUCT_LINE_0B679CE2, _WA_SYS_RMA_DISPOSITION_0B679CE2)
Did SQL 7.0 do this? If so why? What is it trying to do? Why doesn't it use current indexes (clustered and non-clustered)? Why don't they get Fragmented like User defined indexes? I have a lot of questions associated with this if someone can explain it.
Tech Net, MSDN, BOL and other manual resources don't mention anything about it. At least I haven't found anything on it and I have spent some time looking.
Please help if you can.

SQL 2012 :: Create New Indexes
May 24, 20141)When we create Indexes, key columns are the columns that use in where clause and included columns are the columns that can be used in the select list and on join clause column.

Quicker Way To Create Indexes
Jul 18, 2006Hi,I have a new job. It needs to drop and re-create (by insert) a tableevery night. The table contains approximately 3,000,000 (and growing)records. The insert is fine, runs in 2 minutes. The problem is thatwhen I create the indexes on the table, it is taking 15-20 minutes.There is one clustered index and 11 non-clustered. This is a lookuptable that takes many different paremeters, so it really needs theindexes for the user interface to run efficiently. However, thedatabase owners aren't keen on a job taking 20 minutes to run everynight.Any ideas?
View 5 Replies View RelatedRe-Create All Indexes In Database
Jun 17, 2006First, I'd like some help stablishing if it's a good idea or not what I'm thinking, and second is what would be the easyist way to achive the result.
Background. We have a multicompany ERP system (200GB, 200+ tables). All data tables have a companyid, counter1id, counter2id, fields. Each table has a primary clusterd index on these fields in that order. And also has multiple other indexes that usually include companyid filed first. ( Note we have 10 companies, ids are 1..10, companies 2 and 5 are the most active, inserts, selects ). MY GUESS IS THAT THIS IS VERY BAD HAVING COMPANYID FIRST. AM I CORRECT? LEADS TO AL LOT OF FRAGMENTATION? VERY BAD TO FIND DATA ON THE INDEXES?
I want to re-create all my indexes and have them counter2id, companyid, counter2id. ( counter1id is a counter for each company, and counter2id is a global counter like identity ) GOOD OR BAD IDEA?
Since I have hundreds of indexes what is the correct procedure? I was thinking on scripting the database, then dropping all indexes, then recreate clustered indexes, then recreate other indexes. Do I have to take care of anything else foreing relationships, etc.
Auto Create Statistics / Indexes
Sep 1, 2000Hi everyone,
I know that statistics called _WA_... are created on tables when auto create statistics is set on a database. Is this an indication that queries against the table would perform better if indexes were created on the columns in question? (The tables I'm interested in optimising are used equally for transactional querying and reporting)
Thanks for any replies!

View 2 Replies View RelatedShould I Create Indexes On Views Or Tables
May 22, 2007I have a pretty large database that has tables that will contain millions of rows of records. I will predominantly be using Views just to select the data. (I will not be performing any updates or inserts). I propose creating indexes on the views. My question is - if I create indexes on my views, do I have to create them on the tables as well? Is it good practice to create indexes on tables by default even if I am not going to be performing select statements directly on my tables but via my indexed views? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

A Question About Clustered Indexes Forcing Rebuild Of Non-clustered Indexes.
Sep 18, 2007So I'm reading http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips/clustered_indexes_p2.aspx and I come across this:
When selecting a column to base your clustered index on, try to avoid columns that are frequently updated. Every time that a column used for a clustered index is modified, all of the non-clustered indexes must also be updated, creating additional overhead. [6.5, 7.0, 2000, 2005] Updated 3-5-2004
Does this mean if I have say a table called Item with a clustered index on a column in it called itemaddeddate, and several non-clustered indexes associated with that table, that if a record gets modified and it's itemaddeddate value changes, that ALL my indexes on that table will get rebuilt? Or is it referring to the table structure changing?
If so does this "pseudocode" example also cause this to occur:
sqlstring="select * from item where itemid=12345"
rs.open sqlstring, etc, etc, etc
rs.Fields("ItemName")="My New Item Name"
rs.Fields("ItemPrice")=1.00
rs.Update
Note I didn't explicitly change the value of rs.fields("ItemAddedDate")...does rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate")=rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate") occur implicitly, which would force the rebuild of all the non-clustered indexes?
SQL Server 2008 :: Logic To Rebuild Only Clustered Indexes / Skipping To Rebuild Non Clustered Indexes In Same Table
Jun 25, 2015I have a requirement to only rebuild the Clustered Indexes in the table ignoring the non clustered indexes as those are taken care of by the Clustered indexes.
In order to do that, I have taken the records based on the fragmentation %.
But unable to come up with a logic to only consider rebuilding the clustered indexes in the table.
create table #fragmentation
(
FragIndexId BigInt Identity(1,1),
--IDENTITY(int, 1, 1) AS FragIndexId,
DBNAME nvarchar(4000),
TableName nvarchar(4000),

Where Is SSMS?
Sep 14, 2007I installed Visual Studio over a year and a half ago when I became a Microsoft ISV. I have done all of my SQL Server work from within the Visual Studio framework and UI. I recently was asked to document how a customer's users would set up the customer's system using SQL Server 2005, but not having Visual Studio. I got the book Beginning SQL Server 2005 for Developers and immediately ran into a wall. Dewson (the author) talks about the SQL Server Management Studio. He says you get to it by Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried, I went Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools.
I have reinstalled my SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition and installed SQL Server 2005 Standard edition every way I can see, but I still can't get SSMS to come up. What am I doing wrong?
I am running XP Pro 2002 with SP 2. It is on a thinkpad with P4-M 1.8 ghz and 512 mb RAM. My Add/Remove programs says I have SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility, SQL Server Native Client, SQL Server Setup Support Files, and SQL Server VSS Writer installed.

SSMS Connection Over VPN
Jun 18, 2007I have a New default instance of SQL2k5 installed and i am trying to setup access to the this via a vpn.
The VPN is setup and allows access to the server and can T/S to the server and perform everything all ok.
When trying to connect over the VPN with SSMS installed on my laptop I am able to connect using Windows authentication only by using Named Pipes. To accomplish this i perform a Net Use ..... and everything works fine.
However if i specify in the connection tab to use TCP/IP it fails with an unknown username or password. The Event Viewer on the server shows this and for what ever reason the username / pwd is that of my laptop and not of the account used in the VPN setup or the net use.
Also if i try to connect to the SQL Server over the VPN using VS 2005 it also gives the same issue.
I need to get this sorted so that TCP is able to be used.
Thx in advance
