Offline Command Hangs When I Try To Take Database Offline
Apr 10, 2007Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding Order By On Clustered Index
Jul 20, 2005Hi allI recently noticed when trying to optimise a major query of a chess websiteI am the webmaster of, that adding an order by for "gamenumber" which is aclustered index field as in for example "order by timeleft desc, gamenumberdesc" actually speeded up the queries and reduced sql server 2000 timeouts.I have an ASP error log and I am fairly sure that a dramatic reduction insql server timeouts is simply attributed to adding an extra seeminglyredundant order by field - which is the clustered index. Is this phenomenaat all possible or is it my imagination?!Other special attributes of the query includes the use of "Top" to obtain amaximum specified number of rows. Perhaps it is just the uniquecharacteristics of the query, but I would have thought that the less orderby fields would imply faster performance. Has anyone else noticed that aseemingly redundant order by column on for example the clustered indexcolumn, can actually help speed up queries?!Best wishesTryfon GavrielWebmasterwww.chessworld.net

Oct 7, 2015Here is the DDL of a table that I am trying to add an identity column and create a clustered index. I am using SQL 2012 SE
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[IPF](
[IPFId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[IPId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[FId] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[FName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[FItemId] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,

The table currently has 220million rows. I am trying to add a new identity new column and create a clustered index on it. I ran the script and its been more than 26hrs and its still running. I ensured there is no blocking.
SQL 2012 :: Remove Auto Generated Statistics After Adding Index
Nov 21, 2014We have implemented a very small reporting database which has a main table that started off small and has now grown to around half a million rows. Initially, there were no indexes on the table apart from a clustered index, but as the data has grown, performance has dropped and so we have added a number of indexes. This has resolved the performance issues.
Before creating the indexes SQL Server had auto created a number of statistic objects (_WA_Sys_000... etc). After creating the indexes, new statistic objects where created for the new indexes. In some cases, there are duplicate statistics (auto and index) for the same columns.Should I go through and drop the duplicate auto statistics? Will having duplicates cause issues at all?
The Index Entry For Row ID Was Not Found In Index ID 3, Of Table 357576312
Jul 9, 2004Hi,
I'm running a merge replication on a sql2k machine to 6 sql2k subscribers.
Since a few day's only one of the merge agents fail's with the following error:
The merge process could not retrieve generation information at the 'Subscriber'.
The index entry for row ID was not found in index ID 3, of table 357576312, in database 'PBB006'.
All DBCC CHECKDB command's return 0 errors :confused:
I'm not sure if the table that's referred to in the message is on the distribution side or the subscribers side? A select * from sysobjects where id=357576312 gives different results on both sides . .
Any ideas as to what is causing this error?
Advantages Of Using Nonclustered Index After Using Clustered Index On One Table
Jul 3, 2006Hi everyone,
When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered ??
In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it ??
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedImporting Access Table Into SQL Server 2005 Express Table And Adding One Field
Feb 16, 2007Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

Query Based Off Primary Key Of Parent Table - Adding Child Table
Jan 28, 2012I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)
SQL Tools :: Adding Column To A Table Causes Copying Data Into Temp Table
Sep 23, 2015If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

Adding A New Row To SQL Table
Oct 2, 2007Hi all,
I have a database setup with a few rows and i would like to allow a user to create a new row of data. After some googling, I've deduced that I need to somehow use an onclick command to perform an insert command. here is my code as of right now:
protected void ItemAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{int newnum = 4;int POnum = newnum ++;
string Item = textbox3.Text.ToString();
string Quantity = textbox4.ToString();string Part = textbox5.ToString();
string Description = textbox6.Text.ToString();string Price = textbox7.Text.ToString();string UOM = textbox8.Text.ToString();
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Clear();
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Item", Item);SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Quantity", Quantity);
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Part", Part);SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Description", Description);
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Price", Price);SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@UOM", UOM);
SqlDataSource1.InsertCommand = "insert into ItemMaster "+"values (12, @Item, @Quantity, @Part, @Description, @Price, @UOM)";
SqlDataSource2.Insert();
}

If someone could please explain to me the process here of what is going ion it would be greatly appreciated. My understanding is the @item is just a variable if you will so i'm not sure why its stating i need to declare it.
Thank you all!
Adding Data To More Than One Table
Jul 10, 2006Hi there,I am currently setting up a registration system where customers can registers their details and the details of the product, using ASP.net and MS SQL.There is a column called customerID in the Custoemrs table, and a column of the same name in the Products table, so that I can have relationships between the tables.For obvious reasons (ie. people that quit half-way through), I want to hold all the information until the end. The ID in the Customer table is unique, and auto-increasing, and therefore not assigned until the data enters the database.However, I wish to submit information to the Products table at the same time, but what shall I put in for the custoemrID (which hasn't yet been assigned)Thank you in advance for your help,Nathair

View 14 Replies View RelatedAdding A Default Value To A Table
May 25, 2004I'm new to SQL server and am in the process of converting an Access Db to SQL.
What I'd like to happen is for the current date and an Autonumber generated as soon as the user enters a value in another field. This was fairly straightforward in Access. When I try to set the default in design table (inSQL), the date() is not available. After a little research I came up with CREATE DEFAULT and Bind column commands, Global variables, etc.
I have a couple of questions for anyone that might know:
Is there an easier way than this to create default values in a table? AND,
Would I also have to bind columns for Table lookups? For example, if I wanted a price to be returned after the product ID was entered (Automatic in Access if relationship/form setup properly), would I have to bind the column? Or would it happen automatically?

Adding Table To Query
Apr 16, 2008I am new to SQL and have an issue I can not figure out. I have a query with several JOINS, but know my boss is asking for me to add an entire table to my query to view results. Is it possible to add a table to a query with joins? I have tried subquery but I get an EXIST error message. The only way I was able to get the information was join the table and enter every single column to my query. I hope there is an easier and more efficent way of doing this.
Thanks,

Adding Records To An SQL Table
May 7, 2007
I trying to add records from a table in DBF format (created with Visual FoxPro) into an SQL table created with SQL Server 2005.
I first converted the dbf file into an ascii file and then in the Query Editor in the SQL Server I typed:
use [c:developesqlsqldatapsw.listener]
append from 'c:developesqldatalistener.txt' type sdf
go
and then I pressed F5. I get an error that says:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'c:developesqlsqldatapsw.listener'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
I checked in the directory c:developesqlsqldata and the file psw.mdf is there and when I look in the psw database, the table listener is also there.
Could someone tell me what is going wrong? Also, how do I append the whole dbf table onto an SQL table. there's about 6000 records.
Thanks.
Adding Different Columns From Different Table
Sep 22, 2007
I have three tables.
Member(name, address, ID)
Loan(ID, startdate, amount)
Deposite(ID, startdate, amount)
I wanna create a report which look like this.
ID MembersName startdate address etc
Member can be either borrower or a depositor.
I'm thinking of using inner join. Can anyone help me to write the query?
Thanks
