Database Fragmentation
Oct 1, 2004Hello,
How can I mesure the database fragmentation ? Cause DBCC SHOWCONTIG shows obects fragmentation only. I would like to see the whole database fragmentation.
Thanks for help

Index Fragmentation In AX Dynamics 2012 Database
Dec 17, 2014I've noticed that indexes in my AX 2012 database get very fragmented very quickly. Is this normal and that I should just defragment them regularly or is there a possible issue here that needs investigated?

Jun 1, 2004Would someone please let me know which is the better way to reduce fragmentation on Windows:NT drive?
dbcc indexdefrag

Fragmentation?
Jul 27, 2007Sql Server 2000.
For simplicity, I am avoiding minor details.
Here is a scenario.
Create Table T (T_ID int PK, €¦..) and this table is referenced by 20 other places on T_ID.
And these 20 tables have T_ID as PK or part of PK.
We have large volume of deletes in T and in the other 20 tables based on T_ID.
Once the deletes are done, will dropping and re-creating the FK€™s that reference the T_ID
help reduce the fragmentation caused by the deletes?
Table Fragmentation
May 8, 2001hi all,
i have inherited a database running on sql7 sp2. a lot of the tables do not have a clustered index. some of these tables are highly fragmented. below is a sample of the dbcc showcontig output
TABLE level scan performed.
- Pages Scanned................................: 104934
- Extents Scanned..............................: 13124
- Extent Switches..............................: 13123
- Avg. Pages per Extent........................: 8.0
- Scan Density [Best Count:Actual Count].......: 99.95% [13117:13124]
- Extent Scan Fragmentation ...................: 5.84%
- Avg. Bytes Free per Page.....................: 7757.4
- Avg. Page Density (full).....................: 4.16%
this table has 5 non-null char columns whose total length is 43 chars and the table occupies about 900 mb for only about 670,000 rows!
select on the table sucks!
since there is no clustered index i have to rebuild the table to remove the fragmentation. is there a way to reorganize the table without recreating it?
thanx
:-)

Fragmentation -Urgent
Oct 13, 2000Hi!
I have a problem with defragmenting the tables. When i ran dbcc showcontig for the tables, it shows 94%, 50%, 33% fragmentations . I have rebuild indexes on all those tables and ran dbcc showcontig again but still it shows the same % of fragmentations. Is there any way to remove fragmentation on all the tables completely. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Saran
Disk Fragmentation && SQL
Apr 14, 2004One of my production servers has been determined to be 92% fragmented.
What's the proper procedure for defraging a database server?
I couldn't find anything very helpful in BOL, nor Knowledge Base.

Disk Fragmentation
Aug 9, 2004What's the best way to find out if disk fragmentation on Windows 2000 Server is affecting SQL Server performance?
If disk fragmentation is shown to be a cause of performance problems, what are the recommendations for a disk fragmentation strategy? eg. use the win 2000 built in disk defrag utility or buy a 3rd party product like DiskKeeper? How much of an overhead is a product like DiskKeeper that defrags in the background?

Index Fragmentation
Jun 22, 2008What functions of tools do you use for managing index fragmentation?
DBCC?
I am working through MS Press SQL 2005 book and it mentions the
sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats function? It then give an example of code which is very involved.
Does anybody use this function?
Thanks

Index Fragmentation
Jun 24, 2007Hi
When I run sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats on AdventureWorks.Production.Product, I get an average fragmentaion of 46%, 0%, 25% & 50% on the Indexes.
I run ALTER INDEX ALL ON AdventureWorks.Production.Product
REBUILD WITH (FILLFACTOR = 80, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON,
STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = ON)
and the index fragmentation does not change...
Why is that?? I have tried refreshing the table and the statistics but why does it look like rebuilding the indexes has done nothing?
Index Fragmentation In The DMV
Sep 25, 2007I have a nice script that will look at the index fragmentation by using the DMV (sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats) and if its above a specificed threshhold, it will rebuild or reorg the index.
What I have noticed is that even after reorging and/or rebuilding the index, the fragmentation percent in the DMV does not change for some indexes. Other indexes are updated just fine.
Is this a result of updating statistics? Why would the fragmentation change for some indexes and not others? Why does it seem no matter how much rebuilding or reorging is done, the fragmentation percent for some indexes does not change?

Heavy Fragmentation
May 8, 2007I'm attempting to debug some query timeouts on a production server.
Several tables involved in this query have logical scan fragmentation levels around 10%, and extent scan fragmentation levels 90%+.
Running INDEXDEFRAG or DBREINDEX reduces the logical scan fragmentation down to almost 0%, but the extent scan fragmentation stays upwards of 90%.
Why? What can I do to get this fragmentation down? Is it because this particular index is on a GUID?
SQL Backup (bak) Fragmentation
Dec 13, 2006We backup a lot of SQL databases. The db admin uses SQL to dump the databases to a *.bak file on a network share, then we pick them up to tape.
The problem is that for some reason, the backup files are MASSIVELY fragmented, which kills our backup speed to tape (via Netbackup Enterprise). If I defragment the drive (via the built-in tool on Win2K3 or PerfectDisk 8) our speed to tape more than doubles (can go from 16MB/sec to 36MB/sec). However, after the next SQL backup, the drive is completley fragmented once again (around 70%).
Is there any way to improve how these files are written to disk (to keep them relatively in one piece)? For some reason it appears this is a bigger issue with the SQL backup files than any other file type. Thanks.

Fragmentation Does Not Change
Aug 8, 2007I am running this script to see the fragmentation of indexes.
SELECT a.database_id
,a.object_id
,a.index_id
,b.name
,a.avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (7,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) AS a
JOIN sys.indexes AS b
ON a.object_id = b.object_id
AND a.index_id = b.index_id
where a.database_id = db_id()
order by a.avg_fragmentation_in_percent desc
When I rebuild an index the fragmentation does not change 10% or lower (default index fill factor is 0, which I think is 90% fill)

Fragmentation Of SQL Data Files
Mar 30, 2004Hi,
How do you defragement SQL database data files? Running the DBCC DBREINDEX , DBCC INDEXDEFRAG, does that minimize fragmentations of the tables and the indexes files or is it just the index files?

Catch-22 With Fragmentation And Shrinking
Sep 10, 2007I've inherited a SQL 2005 Server with a major problem. It's been badly admin'd for ages.
It's got a 250gb disk with 3% space free. The disk is 93% fragmented. There is a sql data file of 231gb on that volume that i'm trying to shrink as it has 92gb of free space on it apparently. It won't shrink because the fragmentation is too bad - it just hangs for 2 days then times out. I've tried shrinking the files and database to no avail. I can't defrag as it just says it's finished after 2 minutes and doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions or am I screwed?
System Tables Fragmentation
Jul 20, 2005can you defrag system tables. They appear in my dbcc showcontigreport. Some are worse than other but if it where a user table Iwould defrag it. However the reindex commands doesnt work on systemtables.... Any ideas.Thanks Matt.

Hi,
It is natural that index gets fragment overtime. But I would like to know how you do the reindexing or defragment when your database table is big and you cannot afford the time to rebuild them. Thanks.
Check Fragmentation Without DBCC

I want to check the fragmentation for a table. But I do not have permissions to run DBCC commands on that server. Do we have any other method to identify the health of the table?

Index Fragmentation On SQL 2000
Nov 8, 2007I have several databases in which our indexes have not been rebuilt/reorganized. I have worked primarily on SQL 2005 but with 2000 I am not familiar with Logical vs Extent fragmentation. And on the 2000 server there is high Logical Fragmentation (1000+%). With me rebuilding the indexes on the 2000 server databases, will this reduce performance or halt functionality of the servers while this process is running???

Mar 27, 2008Hi
I try to find the percentage of fragmentation in the perticular table using the following table. For some tables it is getting the results but for some database tables it is saying the error in qurey even if I use same query. Is there any reason for that. Or is there any other way to find out the fragmentation of table. any help would be fine. Thanks!
SELECT a.index_id, name, avg_fragmentation_in_percent

And is there any way to find out when did index rebuild occurs in perticular index or table. Thank you very much.
SQL Server Table Size /Fragmentation
Jun 8, 2000Hi!,
I have a process(Peoplesoft) in SQL Server which takes long time to finish. I am looking for is there any way to find out fragmentation of the table to defagment it or is there any way to allocate the size for particular table. Couple of users are running the process at same time but as SQL Server has table/page locks it locks and releases after the job is done. Can i make it row level lock by executing sp_tableoption procedure. I would appreciate for all your suggeations.
Thanks,

High Extent Scan Fragmentation
Oct 25, 2002Can anyone let me now why the extent scan fragmentation is very high.
I do have a clustered index on this table .
The fill factor is 0 and this table has high inserts as it is used to maintain history.
Rebuilding the Indexes did not help.

I have cross checked page count for these indexes and they are more than 10000 pages.As i am aware if the page count is less we can ignore this percentage. But in my case the page count is 10000.
