How To Defrag A Table?
Jul 30, 2004I have a large table with no PK but has other indexes. How to defrag the table (not the indexes)? Do I need to drop and re-create the table or something?
Thanks.

Automating Table Defrag
May 26, 1999I'd like to build a process that will identify all the tables in a database with a scan density less than 100% and generate 'dbcc dbreindex' statements for them. The 'dbcc showcontig' command displays the information I want but I don't know how to access this information from within a script. Any ideas out there?

Aug 22, 2007Is there any easy way to defrag a table with no clustered idx other than bcp out then back in ? (SQL 2000)Actually I have a 100GB db that I deleted data from other tables, about 10GB worth, but access to the table in question (38GB) seems to have slowed down dramatically, Or does the entire disk need to be defragmented and a bcp out/in would be a waste of time on this table ?I run an index defrag every night, reindex weekly.Thanks.

Mar 14, 2007I have been reading many things on the internet and I wanted to create a thread asking my question here. We currently do all the re-indexing and show contig's etc to maintain my sql data and to ensure everything is good to go there.
My question is, what about the physical drive and data. We house our mdf's on a raid 1_0 and our ldfs on raid 5. I am wondering if I need to defrag these drives b/c if not am i impacting my I/O on that box. If so should I stop the sql service so that it does not corrupt SQL data? Any help on this topic would be great.

Defrag SQL SERVER
Feb 13, 2004Folks
Our sql server machine is badly in need of a defrag however I'm a bit weary of doing this as I'm really not sure of the implications or indeed how to do it.
I'm really not a server type of person so any assistance would be gratefully received. If anyone can explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old then that would probably be best!
Cheers
Database Defrag
Jul 14, 2004Hello,
I am working with a very large db (850+gig) that is in desperate need of defragging. I am familiar with DBCC Reindex and DBCC IndexDefrag but am concerned that these processes will take an extremely long time to run. Has anyone had any experience with any 3rd party tools that better/faster then DBCC? Or any ideas or suggestions how best to attack this? Among the many tables with large footprints and millions of rows, I have 3 tables with reserved space over 100g also 3 tables with over 500Mil rows (1 tbl with > 1bil rows). This is a 24x7 db.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions

Defrag / Reindex
Oct 21, 2007I#ve been doing disaster recovery on a web box that died today.
So I thought I'd do some "downtime" maintenance on the DB server
I ran a BDREINDEX on all tables, all indexes. (I know this is the 2000 way, but I assume its as good as the proper 2005 way??).
5 minutes on a 10GB database. Not bad!
I checked the DEFRAG and UPDATE STATS processes that run overnight.
They are basically defragging only tables with SHOWCONTIG indicating fragmentation. And then doing an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN on all tables
That is taking an average of 30 minutes ...
Is DBREINDEX the equivalent of an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN, or is it in some way a smaller-sample version?
I'm wondering why I don't just lock the DB and do a REINDEX of everything in 5 minutes ...

I use the REORGANIZE option of ALTER INDEX. It's default is ONLINE, no matter what the engine edition and makes for simpler code.
I also make heavy use of my own logging tables, which are included at the bottom of the sp.
Please, feel free to comment. I like getting feedback about my scripts and it seems rarely that happens...

Index Rebuild Does Not Defrag
Oct 3, 2007Hi,
After issuing an index rebuild on a primary key index (and updating statistics), the index still shows a scan density of 12.5%!
Any ideas on why the rebuild doesn't seem to do anything on the fragmentation levels?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMS SQL Question Regarding Page/index Defrag.
Apr 17, 2005I know the shortcut to 'defragging' the database to eliminate and
reclaim 'whitespace' in data and index pages is to setup a maintenance
plan. This doesn't work for me for two reasons:
1. I like to know how things work.
2. I can not create maintenance plans with my hosted provider.
I use the following T-SQL to rebuild all indexes on all tables:
-- exec sp_MSforeachtable "DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 90)
But, does that not only address indexes? What about getting whitepace
back from data in tables themselves?
Am I over-thinking this?
When you're paying for SQL by the MB and generate a lot of data (with a
fair amount of churn) you want to keep it optimized and efficient,
right?
Dbreindex Vs Index Defrag Question
Mar 9, 2007Does anyone know if dbreindex and index defrag ideally perform the same function? I have been told that index defrag does not hold locks on a table when executed and dbreindex does. Other than this is there any difference between the two functions? My understanding was that dbreindex reindexes the data stored in a table for faster reads and index defrag removes purged data. Am I correct? I am currently running both functions on my SQL server and was advised that I really only need to run the index defrag job. Is this advise correct?

Apr 15, 2015I have a clustered index which shows as having a fragmentation level of 66% according to sys.dm_db_index_ physical_ stats.avg_ fragmentation_ in_ percent.
But no matter what I try the fragmentation level doesn't budge. And yes I'm updating the statistics after each attempt.Its not a huge issue the table only has 348 records. I'm testing a fixing fragmentation maintenance script. In Ironing out the syntax of my script I've fixed the fragmentation of indexes of over 65 % anyway..I've come across and index that I can't defragment. I've tried

I've tried
ALTER INDEX ALL ON [GRIDINFO] REORGANIZE
I've tried
DBCC INDEXDEFRAG (MYDATABASE, 'GRIDINFO', PK__GRIDINFO__3214EC2721F5FC7F);
The command complete successfully yet the avg_fragmentation_in_percent doesn't change. The table also has a nonclustered index. I've gleaned through all the statements of 'this will have no effect if' but so far I've not spotted a reason why this index won't defrag.The script has been modified to remove schema and database names for the forum.

DB Engine :: Index Defrag Routine Audit Frag Values
Aug 26, 2015I am currently re-writing an overnight index defrag procedure and would like to audit indexes in my database - logging the before defrag action" avg fragmentation value and "after defrag action" frag value in an audit table. This will be for all databases on the server. I have completed the vast majority of it (cycling though all the databases, detecting which indexes need reorganising or rebuilding and inserting the information into a table) but I cannot get the audit values working properly. For example, a sample row in my audit table would look like this:
ID Name DB Table frag_before frag_after
1 Index2 DB1 Table6 70.33456 0.03
2 Index7 DB1 Table9 45.98 1.2567etc

Transact SQL :: Index Maintenance / Defrag Fails On CDC Enabled Database - 2008 R2

"Executing the query "EXEC DBName.dbo.IndexDefrag_sp" failed with the following error: "The unique index 'PK_TableName' on source table '[dbo].[TableName]' is used by Change Data Capture. To alter or drop the index, you must first disable Change Data Capture on the table. The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly" We would like to run the index maintenance without losing the cdc data. We plan on installing SP2 on SQL Server 2008 R2 soon, would that solve the issue? Disabling the cdc prior to index maintenance and then re-enabling back upon completion; would delete the data as I found in most discussions, but we would like to retain it.

Default Table Owner Using CREATE TABLE, INSERT, SELECT && DROP TABLE

Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.
But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?
I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.
Thanks in advance,

P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.
