System let's you alter the system tables and add indexes. However, it won't

How To Find If Index Key Is ASC Or DESC From System Tables?
Apr 29, 2003There is a index: CustomerInfo_1
with keys: customerId, EnteryDate DESC
I could not find where the order of index key (i.e. whether the key is ascending or descending) is stored?
I tried system tables such as sysindexes and sysindexkeys tables. But could not find it.
Any help in this regard will be truly appreciated.
Thank you.

Up to my knowldge if you start a transaction in side the transaction if you have DML statements
Those statements only will be effected by rollback or commit but in MS SQL SERVER 7.0 and 6.5

Not Able To Drop The Index
May 8, 2008Here is my code,
1. create table t1 (id int )
2. create unique index u on t1(id)
3. create table t2 (id int constraint f foreign key references t1(id))
4. ALTER TABLE t2 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL
5. ALTER TABLE t1 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL
6. drop index t1.u
I get a FK voilation exception. on line 6.
I was not expecting this, because I am doing 4 & 5
Is dropping the FK is only option?
Actually I am trying to move the unique index to a different file group.

Unable To Drop Index (6.5)
Mar 8, 1999Hi,
I have a table which I am unable to drop the index.
I tried to drop it via the TSQL and GUI interface (Indexes dialog box),
but when I clicked on table refresh, the index still there.
Below is the result after DBCC commands:
1. DBCC checktable(TB_LOCLoan)
Checking TB_LOCLoan
The total number of data pages in this table is 146542.
Table has 1596232 data rows.
Msg 605, Level 21, State 1
Attempt to fetch logical page 462136 in database 'DM_LOCLoan' belongs to object '1744009244',
not to object 'TB_LOCLoan'.
2. DBCC newalloc(DM_LOCLoan)
TABLE: TB_LOCLoan OBJID = 832005995
INDID=0 FIRST=60168 ROOT=642778 DPAGES=146542 SORT=0
Data level: 0. 146542 Data Pages in 18393 extents.
INDID=5 FIRST=463752 ROOT=463739 DPAGES=5304 SORT=1
Msg 2525, Level 16, State 1
Table Corrupt: Object id wrong; tables: alloc page 463616 extent id=463752 l page#=463752
objid in ext=-832005995 (name = -832005995) objid in page=832005995 (name = TB_LOCLoan)
objid in sysindexes=832005995 (name = TB_LOCLoan)
TOTAL # of extents = 18393
3. From Error Msg 2525, I have tried the suggested action
use DM_LOCLoan
go
select indid, name, object_name(id)
from sysindexes
where id=832005995
and distribution=463752
go
This query does not return any row.
I am running out of clue of how to proceed! Anybody come across this problem before?
I am very eager to solve this problem as the table is hanging here, I can't even drop it to recreate
and continue data loading.
Thank you.

Unable To Drop An Index
Jan 13, 2006According to sysindexes, I have a table with a primary key and an index. I'd like to drop the index. However, when I give the drop command, the message "Cannot drop the index 'eventlog._INDEX', because it does not exist in the system catalog." is returned.
I'm not sure what to look for. How do I remove the index?
Drop/create Index
Feb 16, 2007Hi, all,
I want to re-create an index on a production table.
I got an error 644 "could not find index entry...".
The DBCC CHECKDB and CHECKTABLE gave me this:
Server: Msg 8928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Object ID 37575172, index ID 6: Page (1:939782) could not be processed. See other errors for details.
Server: Msg 8939, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID 37575172, index ID 6, page (1:939782). Test (*(((int*) &m_reservedB) + i) == 0) failed. Values are 7 and 36.
DBCC results for 'Mfg_DFSFNSF'.
There are 1142314 rows in 326143 pages for object 'Mfg_DFSFNSF'.
CHECKTABLE found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in table 'Mfg_DFSFNSF' (object ID 37575172).
The table script for the index is like this:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [Mfg_ITMDH_MbrIdx] ON [dbo].[Mfg_DFSFNSF]([_ITMDH_OwnRow], [_ITMDH_MbrKey], [RECTYPE]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 70 ON [PRIMARY]
My question is that can I drop it and run above create it to fix the problem in live mode?
I know the other option will be:
DBCC CHECKTABLE (FSDBMR.dbo.Mfg_DFSFNSF, repair_allow_data_loss)
But that has to put the db under single user mode.
Thanks!
If Exists Drop Index
Feb 8, 2008I'm trying to drop indexes if they already exist then recreate them as needed, however, I'm getting an error if the index does not exist and I thought that's what the "IF Exists" statement was for.
syntax:
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysindexes WHERE name = 'idx_acct_no') DROP INDEX accounts.idx_acct_no
go
create index [idx_acct_no] ON [dbo].[accounts] ([acct_no])
go
Error when index does not exist:
Server: Msg 3703, Level 11, State 7, Line 1
Cannot drop the index 'accounts.idx_acct_no', because it does not exist in the system catalog.
Is there anyway to not get this error?

How Do I Drop And Recreate System Indexes
Jul 15, 1998I have come across a user that has error 2525 errors on sysobjects tables throughout their SQL 6.5 system. The ids match and I can identify the index. But as they are system tables I cannot drop or rebuild the indexes.
Any ideas please?
The errors have been occuring for some time, so it is not an option to restore. I would like to avoid having to transfer data to and from another SQL Server.
Many Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan't Backup DB Or Drop FullText Index
Mar 29, 2008I just tried to backup a database I recently deployed to to SQL Server 2005 box, and got the following error:
The backup of full-text catalog 'myCatalog' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online.
Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data.
I don't need the index so I tried to drop it with both:
DROP fulltext catalog 'myCatalog'
and
DROP catalog 'myCatalog'
but both give me a syntax error.
How can I get rid of this index so I can backup my database?

Total Fragmentation On Index Doesn't Drop
Sep 17, 2007I have a non-clustered index on a table. If I rebuild or reorganize it in SQL 2005, the total fragmentation percent reported by properties/fragmentation on the index stays at 33%.
Why doesn't the fragmentation go to 0% ?
If I totally drop/create the index, starts even higher, but beorg or rebuild simply goes to 33%. This even if using with use temp db for sort option.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSlow Query....drop Index Works Fine!!!!!
May 11, 2007We are running MS RS and SQL Server 2000 SP3.
We have one LEDGER, where all the daily activities are stored. The LEDGER table has 4 indexes (1 clustered and 3 non-clustered). To get AR we use this table.
Well problem is some times in 1-2 months, any simple AR query takes a long time and every other client gets slow response (queries are very slow or sometimes block).
If we DROP any index on LEDGER table and again put it back (RECREATE), all our queries work fine and faster. This goes on till 1-2 months, till we see the same issue again.
This is a classic case happened today. Queries were running fine till morning 8 AM. We upload some 50 thousand records to Ledger table (Data Conversion). Well after 30 mins, all simple AR queries started taking a long time. We DROPPED an index in LEDGER table and everything was faster....Just to be same we added back the same index again.......everything is Faster.....
What is this. ....is it our QUERY, index or huge Transactions or no free space ???
We are scheduled to run SP4, next week. But is there any solution in the mean time on what is this?
Also is they any way to KILL all SQL server processes that take more than a mins. We just don't want ALL our client to Slow down because of one query????
Thanks,
Analysis :: SSAS Doesn't Drop Old Index Files
Oct 4, 2012After the incremental process and full process, SSAS doesn't drop the index files #.xxx.fact.map and #.xxx.fact.map.hdr in the file.0.dim folder. We now have all the versions from 3 to 5000 sitting in the folder. The DBA team only found this when the disk is running out of space recently.
We've already check the account running the SSAS has local admin to the server.
Is there any config setting that might cause this issue? If not, what could it be causing this issue.
Determining What Are System Objects In Sp_help Or System Tables
Jul 20, 2005Hi,I have a few things on my databases which seem to be neither true systemobjects or user objects - notably a table called 'dtproperties' (createdby Enterprise manager as I understand, relating to relationship graphingor something) and some stored procs begining with "dt_" (some kind ofsource control stuff, possible visual studio related). These show up whenI use"exec sp_help 'databaseName'"but not in Ent. Mgr. or in Query Analyzer's object browser, and also notin a third party tool I use called AdeptSQL. I am wondering how thosetools know to differentiate between these types of quasi-system objects,and my real user data. (This is for the purpose of a customized schemagenerator I am writing). I'd prefer to determine this info with systemstored procs (ie sp_help, sp_helptex, sp_...etc) but will dip into thesystem tables if needed.Thanks,Dave

System SP That Will Retrieve Index Include Columns?

SQL Server 2005 has a new very useful feature for creating non-clustered indexes called INCLUDE <columns> which are very helpful when trying to create covering indexes.
Does anyone know of a way to retrieve these INCLUDE columns through any of the system metadata tables? The sp_helpIndex stored procedure is what I currently use but that only returns the (sorted) index columns and not the include columns.
Thanks in advance,
