How Can I Get User Statistics?

Nov 5, 1999

I am supporting a SQL Server 6.5 databases that users query using
pre-configured reports. The reports use views, stored procedures,
and triggers set up by the programmers and accessed thru a client
on the workstation.

I need to be able to count which users log in (SQL Server security),
how often, and either which reports they use or what tables they
select.

I do not have access to the WindowsNT server, so the solution
has to work with SQL Server SA rights.

Thanks for any suggestions.

User Application Statistics

where action is defined :
20 = login
21 = logout

How can I query the table for following management information (in SQL SERVER 2008)?

1. Last user login?
2. How long(i.e. duration) user has been online for the day?
3. How many times user has login or logout per day?
4. which users logged into system on certain day?
5. Which users still logged in after 11pm?
6. Any other statistic that could be useful to management?

Dropping Statistics From User Tables

Apr 21, 2008

Hi,

I have founde such a nice code to create statements for dropping all statistics in a database.


DECLARE @tblname sysname, @statname sysname, @sql nvarchar(2000)

DECLARE c CURSOR FOR

SELECT object_name(id), name FROM sysindexes WHERE INDEXPROPERTY(id, name, 'IsStatistics') = 1

OPEN c

FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @tblname, @statname

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

SET @sql = 'DROP STATISTICS [' + @tblname + '].[' + @statname + ']'

PRINT @sql

FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @tblname, @statname

END

CLOSE c

DEALLOCATE c



Please help me with changing this code to take care only on indexes from my own tables (no system ones).

Thanks for your help.

Statistics For Index Usage And User's Load?

Sep 7, 2004

Hello!

Is there any way to determine index usage statistics for a given table?
For examle, I have a table, with three indices. I need to know how many times each index was used. Is it possible?

And second part of question: I need to know, which user overloads my base with their giantic queries. Is there any way to determine, how many system resources each of user's sessions uses?

Auto Created Statistics And Missing Statistics

Jul 20, 2005

Hello group.I have an issue, which has bothered me for a while now:I'm wondering why the column statistics, which SQL Server wants me tocreate, if I turn off auto-created statistics, are so important to theoptimizer?Example: from Northwind (with auto create stats off), I do the following:SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Country = 'Sweden'My query plan show a clustered index scan, which is expected - no indexexists for Country. BUT, the query plan also shows, that the optimizer ismissing a statistic on Country, which tells me, that the optimizer wouldbenefit from knowing this.I cannot see why? (and I've been trying for a while now).If I create the missing statistics, nothing happens in the query plan (andwhy should it?). I could understand it, if the optimizer suggested an indexon Country - this would make sense, but if creating the missing index, queryanalyzer creates the statistics with an empty index, which seems to me to beless than usable.I've been thinking long and hard about this, but haven't been able to reacha conclusion :) It has some relevance to my work, because allowing theoptimizer to create missing statistics limits my options for designingindexes (e.g. covering) for some rather wide tables, so I'm thinking why notturn it off altogether. But I would like to know the consequences - hopesomebody has already delved into this, and knows a good explanation.RgdsJesper

Where, Oh Where, Have My Little Statistics Gone?

Aug 3, 2007

Hi all,

As part of my automagical nightly index maintenance application, I am seeing a fairly regular (3-4 failures out of 5 attempts per week) failure on one particular table in my database. The particular line which seems to be failing is this one:

DBCC SHOWCONTIG (WON_Staging_EPSEst) WITH FAST, TABLERESULTS, ALL_INDEXES

The log reports the following transgression(s):Msg 2767, Sev 16: Could not locate statistics 'WON_Staging_EpsEst' in the system catalogs. [SQLSTATE 42000]
Msg 0, Sev 16: [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 0, Sev 16: -------------------- Simple ReIndex for [WON_Staging_EpsEst].[IX_WON_Staging_EpsEst] [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 2528, Sev 16: DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 0, Sev 16: [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 0, Sev 16: -------------------- Post-Maintenance Statistics Report for WON_Staging_EpsEst [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 0, Sev 16: Statistics for WON_Staging_EpsEst, WON_Staging_EpsEst [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 2528, Sev 16: DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 0, Sev 16: Statistics for WON_Staging_EpsEst, IX_WON_Staging_EpsEst [SQLSTATE 01000]
Msg 2768, Sev 16: Statistics for INDEX 'IX_WON_Staging_EpsEst'. [SQLSTATE 01000]

-------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ------ ------------------------ ------------------------
Aug 3 2007 3:22AM 674609 674609 196 2.0958368E-4 8.0

(1 rows(s) affected)

This table is dropped and recreated each day during a data import job. After the table is recreated and repopulated with data (using a bulk import from a flat file), the index is also recreated using the following code:CREATE INDEX [IX_WON_Staging_EpsEst]
ON [dbo].[WON_Staging_EpsEst](OSID, [Year], Period)
ON [PRIMARY]Yet more often than not, that evening, when the index maintenance job runs, it fails with the aforepasted messages complaining of being unable to find table/index statistics.

Worth noting, perhaps, is that this same process is used on roughly 10 data staging tables in this database each day, and none of the other tables fail during the index maintenance job.

Also worth noting, perhaps, is that this IDENTICAL table/code is processed in exactly the same way on TWO other servers, and the failure has not occured in any of the jobs on those other two servers (these other two servers are identical mirrors of the one failing, and contain all the same data, indicies, and everything else.

Any thoughts, suggestions for where to look, or unrestrained abusive comments regarding my ancestry?

Thanks!

If we apply a statistics command on a particular table what will it update.
Normally statistics are created automatically by the server or we have to create it.

3 5.67

This is a grouping of the result data in 3's by time. Value is the average of the Group.
In need to write a select statement to do this.
Note the Group could be done from 1 to 10

The end result of this is to display a Range Chart which shows Results grouped according to requirements.

Hi,

I am contemplating creating a job to execute every 5 mins which will update index statisics if they are more than say 8% out. I would like to know what thoughts people have on this? i.e. pros and cons.

I like forward to what you have to say.

I have auto stats on. Our stats are often more than 10% out. At what level do you reckon the query plan might be effected by out of data stats?

Thanks

Statistics - How To Update

Sep 6, 2006

Hi,

It seems to me there are many ways to update statistics for a table. i.e. "sp_updatestats", "sp_recompile", "dbcc updateusage"

Can somebody tell me the difference between those commands and what's the best way for updating your statistics? Does reindexing update the statistics?

thx,

Statistics In SQL Server

Feb 12, 2002

Can I copy statistics in SQL Server from one environment to another without copying the actual data. For example from production to development. It is possible to copy statistics in other databases, like DB2/UDB, Oracle. Reason is to execute some poor performing SQLs and analyze their execution plan.

Did not find anything on this subject in BOL. Since statistics is stored in the statblob column of sysindexes, I tried updating statblob column of the index and rowcnt columns of table & index to mimic the copy. After my updates to 'TO' table

dbcc show_statistics ( stat_test2, stat_test2_idx)

showed the results that is identical to the statistics of my FROM table.

But when I execute a small SELECT on (FROM) table(which contains the original, required stats) and the (TO) table (where the statistics is now copied), I get 2 different execution plans. This means I am not successful in my attempt to cheat the optimizer.

Is there any more columns to be updated?

Is there another direct way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
Gana.

Maintaining Statistics

Jan 29, 2008

Scenario:
For the most part we let SQL Server (2005) maintain our statistics for us. However we do have several large processes written in stored procedures. There is one main controller procedure that can call any number of other procedures. This process can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour+ to run (based on the size of the client). Back in the day of SQL Server 2000 we found that the performance of this procedure would diminish over time (while it was running). We implemented a queued concept of issuing UPDATE STATISTICS commands. This was done by adding a SQL Server job that ran every 10 minutes looking for new records in a table. Records where inserted at key points in these stored procedures (after large deletes, updates, inserts).

Goal:
Now, with all that background and with 2005, I'd like to review this concept and remove this implementation if possible, or at least remove the close association of maintaining the statistics from the business jobs. In 2005, are there better ways to monitor and maintain statistics at more of an administrative (but automated) way?

Updating Statistics

Jul 20, 2005

Hello all,I've written a stored procedure which runs OK for thefirst few thousand records it processes, then aroundabout the 10,000th record it suffers a sudden and dramaticdrop in performance (from about 40 records per second toabout 1 per second).I've found that when this happens, if I run an UPDATE STATISTICSquery on the affected tables, performance picks up again,which is good. However, this is a query that will berunning unattended, so I thought that I good idea wouldbe to put the UPDATE STATISTICS statement in the storedprocedure and have it run after about eight thousand recordshave been processed.However, I find that even though the statement is runafter the 8,000th record, the performance drop *still*occurs after the 10,000th record. I find this odd becausethe statistics have just recently been updated. Is thereanything else I should be looking at?TIA,--Akinaknak at aksoto dot idps dot co dot uk
