How To Change An Existing Table From A Filegroup To A Partition
May 21, 2008
I've create a partition function and a partion scheme for my database.
Now I would like to change an existing table to use these partition.
The table is replicated.
How can I do this?
How to add some more ranges to existing partition schema and function?
Already My table partitioned on date ranges,
6 partitions , each partition contains 6 moths data, so total data is 3 years.
i.e. 1 partition data- from jan2012 to Jun2012 2 partition data- from july2012 to dec2012 3 partition data- from jan2013 to Jun2013 4 partition data- from july2013 to dec2013 5 partition data- from jan2014 to Jun2014 6 partition data- from july2014 to dec2014 After Jan2015 data will go to Primary file group(Default)
Now customer wants to add two more file groups with these partitions ranges, i.e. jan2015 to jun15 and Jul15 to dec15.
File group and ndf file adding is OK, But
how to alter partition scheme and partition function with these additional ranges to existing partition function and scheme?
How do you alter the table to use the new partition (I know ALTER TABLE is in there but BOL doesn't give a valid example with the move option)? I can create the partition but I want to apply it to an existing table with no partition? Thanks
I had a table which is going to burst, and of course performance issue is come in to place. and now we thinking to apply to partition method into this table.
So is that possible to create a partition scheme and against the existing table? and how is the T-SQL statement will be look like.
How to move existing table(include its constraint and index) into a different filegroup using tsql in Sql Server 2000. We have 1000+ tables in our system and we are planning to move around 500 tables to a new file group, which is available on another SAN drive.
Can we create the Partition on Existing Table?e.g Create table t ( col1 number(10,0), Col2 Varchar(10)) ;After the table Creation can we alter the table to partition the table.
I have 3 columns. I would like to update a table based on job_cd and permit_nbr column. if we have same job_cd and permit_nbr, reference number should be same else it should take max(reference number) from the table +1 for all rows where reference_nbr column is null
I have the following insert query which works great. The purpose of this query was to flatten out the Diagnosis codes (ex: SecDx1, SecDx2, etc.) [DX_Code field] in a table.
Code Snippet INSERT INTO reports.Cardiology_Age55_Gender_ACUTEMI_ICD9 SELECT Episode_Key, SecDX1 = [1], SecDX2 = [2], SecDX3 = [3], SecDX4 = [4], SecDX5 = [5], SecDX6 = [6], SecDX7 = [7], SecDX8 = [8], SecDX9 = [9], SecDX10 = [10], SecDX11 = [11], SecDX12 = [12], SecDX13 = [13], SecDX14 = [14], SecDX15 = [15] FROM (SELECT Episode_Key, DX_Key, ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY Episode_Key ORDER BY DX_Key ) AS 'RowNumber', DX_Code FROM srm.cdmab_dx_other WHERE Episode_key is not null ) data PIVOT ( max( DX_Code ) FOR RowNumber IN ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15] )) pvt ORDER BY Episode_Key
The query below also works fine by itself. You may notice that the Episode_Key field appears in both the query above and below therefore providing a primary key / foreign key relationship. The srm.cdmab_dx_other table also appears in both queries. I would like to add the fields in the select statement below to the select statement above. Using the relationships in my FROM statements, can anyone help me figure this one out?
Code Snippet SELECT e.episode_key, e.medrec_no, e.account_number, Isnull(ltrim(rtrim(p.patient_lname)) + ', ' ,'') + Isnull(ltrim(rtrim(p.patient_fname)) + ' ' ,'') + Isnull(ltrim(rtrim(p.patient_mname)) + ' ','') + Isnull(ltrim(rtrim(p.patient_sname)), '') AS PatientName, CONVERT(CHAR(50), e.admission_date, 112) as Admit_Date, CONVERT(CHAR(50), e.episode_date, 112) as Disch_Date, e.episode_type as VisitTypeCode, d.VisitTypeName, convert(int, pm.PatientAge) as PatientAge, pm.PatientAgeGroup, pm.patientsex, p.race FROM srm.episodes e inner join srm.cdmab_dx_other dxo on dxo.episode_key=e.episode_key inner join srm.cdmab_base_info cbi on cbi.episode_key=e.episode_key inner join srm.item_header ih on ih.item_key = e.episode_key inner join srm.patients p on p.patient_key = ih.logical_parent_key inner join ampfm.dct_VisitType d on d.VisitTypeCode=e.episode_type inner join dbo.PtMstr pm on pm.AccountNumber = e.Account_Number
I have a non-partitioned table (TableToPartition) and I want to apply an existing partition scheme (PartSch) to it using a query. I didn't find any option so I used the StorageCreate Partition wizard to generate the script.why this clustering magic needed if it is dropped at the end? Isn't there another way without indexing to partition a table, say something with ALTER TABLE? (SQL Server 2012)
BEGIN TRANSACTION CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [ClusteredIndex_on_PartSch_635694324610495157] ON [dbo].[TableToPartition] ( [ID] )WITH (SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF) ON [PartSch]([ID]) DROP INDEX [ClusteredIndex_on_PartSch_635694324610495157] ON [dbo].[TableToPartition] COMMIT TRANSACTION
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, i want to split my data and indexes on different drives.
In 2000 i had to recreate clustered indexes and non clustered indexes on the correct filegroups to accomplish this.
In 2005 i see there is a ALTER TABLE MOVE TO Filegroup option, thats cool.
Does this effectively do the same as rebuilding the clustered index on the new filegroup? Will this leave the other indexes of the table on the primay filegroup or move them as well ?
If i wanted to also move the non clustered indexes is there a better way to move them that drop and re-create on the new filegroup in 2005, i see the ALTER INDEX statement does not support a move to filegroup option.
In a nutshell what is the best/easiest way to move exisitng table data and indexes to new file groups in Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition?
I have partitions that I have filled with data. I am not trying to figure out exactly how much data the partitions contain, and therefore I will be able to see if any of them are close to hitting their autogrow conditions. If I were looking at a single unpartitioned table, then I could maybe look at the table properties to determine data and index sizes, and compare that to the size of the mdf file size, but for partitions, then I am not sure how I would query this information out. Any pointers on how this information could be queried out of the system?
I work for a 24/7 shop. We currently have a table that is partition on monthly. I have to created a script that will add a new file group, add the new file to the group, and alter the the partition scheme and function. However, I need for this process to not cause a lock on the table. Typically I get the locking and issues when I am run the split command. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Is it possible to use a variable to specify the filegroup in the ALTER/CREATE PARTITION SCHEME command?
I want the partition scheme to use the default filegroup for ALTER and CREATE PARTITION SCHEME. At the time the script is created, I don't know the default filegroup in the database.
My code:
declare @fileGroupName VARCHAR(50) = (select top 1 name from sys.filegroups where is_default = 1) ALTER PARTITION SCHEME MyScheme NEXT USED @fileGroupName
Is failing:
Incorrect syntax near '@fileGroupName'.
Q: Is it possible to use a variable for the filegroup in the ALTER/CREATE commands? Is so, what is the correct syntax?
Q: If using a variable is not possible, is there another way to specify the default filegroup?
Combination of Student_Id, Subject_Id and Quarter columns is the primary key. One student can take one subject in a quarter. Now the new requirement is a student can take multiple subjects in a quarter. So need to add another table like below:
NEW table name: Student_Subject and column are below: Student_id Subject_Id Quarter1
All the above three columns combination is primary key.
After the new table Student_Subject created, remove Subject_Id column from Student table.
When the user clicks on a button after selecting multiple subjects and provide col1 and col2 data then one row gets inserted into Student table and multiple rows gets inserted into Student_Subject table.
Is there any other table design that satisfies one student can take multiple subjects in a quarter?
In y sql server table has millions of records available. I don't want to drop the tables.
My requirement is I want to change the column order of an existing table. some tables I am able to saving on design window Like Below image.
Even I had generate a script and using that script trying to execute on Management Studio but unable to saving the new column orders. I am getting the Timeout expired error after couple of minutes. How can we save the orders without dropping the table !
Hello,I have been trying to figure out how to temporarily change the maxfilegroup size of a SQL 2000 database I "inherited" when our DBA quit.I just need some breathing room until I can figure out how to properlyarchive and remove some filegroups.Here is the scenario, my filegroup is set to 20. Each filegroup is setto grow to 4096.I currently have all 20 filegroups in use and filegroup number 20 ismore than 1/2 full.I have considered making the max size for each filegroup larger butbelieve this is treating the symptom not fixing the problem.I would RTFM if I knew how to ask the question in 5 words or less.I have plenty of room to grow in terms of disk space.In Query Analyzer I suspect I have to use an ALTER DATABASEIn Gui mode I suspect I have to right click on the database properties,filegoups,,,,In the past I have setup my databases with 1 filegroup and autoconfigured to grow as needed so this is new territory for me so pleasefeel free to dumb it down for a noob as I need baby steps.
Hullo!Doubt it matters too much, but I'll just start off by saying that I'm using C# ASP.NET 2.0 in Visual Studio 2005.I currently have a UID field entitled "ID", and I'd like to make it autonumbering so that users can input stuff into it through a simple web interface and not have to worry about the user's ID.Anyone know how I could go about doing this? I can't seem to find a way through VS2005's GUI, and I can't seem to find anything on the internet about doing it through an SQL statement.Thanks!
I am trying to make a DDL change to an existing column for a transactionally replicated table. I am attempting to effect the ALTER on the Publisher. Below is the statement I am using:
[Begin Code Snippet]
ALTER TABLE Products ALTER COLUMN LegacyProductID varchar(20)NULL
[Begin Code Snippet]
This is the error message:
Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot alter column 'LegacyProductID' because it is 'REPLICATED'.
Column properties currently are:
INT NULL Not For Replication - False Primary Key - False
I read this article http://www.replicationanswers.com/AlterSchema2005.asp but still cannot either get the statement to work or identify a reason it isn't working.
I have a named instance of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I want to install VS Team System Foundation Server on the same box, but this needs a default instance of Standard or Enterprise edition. I installed the Standard version alongside the existing Developer instance but now I can't start SSIS and without it VSTS Foundation Server won't install.
I have tried to uninstall SSIS and reisntall it from both the Standard Edition and Developer edition media, but it makes no difference, the service still won't start.
Could the SSIS failure be due to having different editions on the same box? If so, is it possible to change the edition of the Developer instance to Standard (or to change them both to Enterprise edition) without having to uninstall and start all over again. The developer instance is used by several team members, so I don't want to have to uninstall it if I can help.
We are having problems when creating new subscriptions or when trying to edit existing subscriptions. When editing an existing subscription, the report manager displays "An Internal error occured" message and when I look in the log the error says Only members of sysadmin role are allowed to update or delete jobs owned by a different login
When trying to create a new subscription the report manager displays "An internal error occured" and the log says System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The schedule was not attached to the specified job. The schedule owner and the job owner must be the same or the operation must be performed by a sysadmin.
We are running sql reporting services 2005 sp1. The report server database server is on a different machine to the reporting server. The existing subscriptions were set up previously on another report server which was originally our dev server. These subscriptions are working just can't change them, or create new ones. Any help is much appreciated.
Hi, How to Change Increment Value for existing Identity Column (MS SQL2000) ?
I know how to change the seed : DBCC CHECKIDENT (activity, RESEED,4233596)
but I need the future id generated with step 2 4233596 4233598 4233600 I would like to do it using T-sql because I will need to do it every day after syncronising with another SQL server .
We have records in one table that are marked as accepted/rejected based on eligibility start and end dates in another table. We're loading new eligibility data into an ETL table and if the start or end date is going to change, I want to report any records that need to be reviewed to see if their status should change. The new dates could be before or after the existing dates, and the new or existing end date could also be NULL. Currently I'm using 4 > < statements and it seems to catch any scenario, but I'm wondering if there's a better way:
DECLARE @RECORDS TABLE(RecordDate date,ID varchar(8)) INSERT INTO @RECORDS(RecordDate, ID)VALUES('20100101','99'),('20110101','99'),('20120101','99'),('20130101','99'),('20140101','99') DECLARE @ORIGINALDATES TABLE(StartDate date,EndDate date,ID varchar(8)) INSERT INTO @ORIGINALDATES(StartDate,EndDate, ID)VALUES('20100101',NULL,99)
We were recently acquired and need to move our existing SSRS 2012 mail server from our internal SMTP service. The internal service doesn't need to have a 'real' account to send email out. Everything seems to be setup and running under the internal service.I think I need to change the Email Settings information in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". Namely the Sender address and SMTP Server fields. But without actually making these changes, I don't see where it is going to ask for the password. Really hate to make changes on a production server.
Do I need to change the "Log On As" account in the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" as well? If so, does this need to be the same account as used in the Sender Address (above)?. there is a lot of ink about making additions to the "rsreportserver.config" file. Our existing file does not have any of these entries.
