I have 2 questions,
1. I am trying to create an index, which is running for a long time. Is there an option to know the progress so far or how much more time it is going to take?
2. Is there anyway to find out how much space is required to rebuild an index?

Looks like SQL decided to make an index, is this typical? Where can I look at the parameters for this? Thanks

Hi,
like I said in other posts, I'm new to sql server, worked with informix for a long time. Right now I got into an "argument" with the present "dba", the indexes for all the tables in the database are being rebuilt, he wanted to start a monthly process, I told him that he can't do processing because when an index is built the table is locked, now, since I'm new at sql server I would like to know from the experts..... can you run process in sql server against tables when:
- indexes are being created
- the structure of a table is being modified
- the database is being shrunk
If we had been talking about informix then I would have probably slapped him if he tried to "teach" me about how things work, I'm pretty sure its the same in SQL but I think its better to have complete assureness of what I'm talking about before the slapping starts :)
Thanks in advance

Hi -
I could not find an SQL script, which would generate index creation DDL for a specific table/index. Query Analyzer does it, but I need to do it programmatically. Does anyone have a working script?
Thank you.
Does Microsoft SQL Server keep a record of an index creation date andlast modified date in a system table somewhere?

I was reading this blog below about Indexed Views and needed some clarification.
When the author choose to create the unique clustered index he excluded the PER.BusinessEntityID columns and only included, (CustomerID, SalesOrderID, ProductID).
Why didn't the PER.BusinessEntityID get added?
[URL] ....
CREATE VIEW Sales.vSalesSummaryCustomerProduct
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT CUST.CustomerID ,
SOH.SalesOrderID ,
SOD.ProductID ,
SUM(SOD.OrderQty) AS TotalOrderQty ,

Hi
I'm trying to use a user defined alias type in a table creation, and everything works as expected, right until the moment where I rightclick on [Indexes] and click [new index] to create a new index.
Then I get this error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Cannot show requested dialog.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Cannot show requested dialog. (SqlMgmt)
------------------------------
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (SqlManagerUI)
------------------------------

This is the script I use to create the table:
exec sp_executeSql N'CREATE SCHEMA [TestSchema] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]'
GO
CREATE TYPE [TestSchema].[type_TestType]
FROM uniqueidentifier ;
GO
Create table [TestSchema].[Periode3]
(
Periode3_UID uniqueidentifier NOT NULL ROWGUIDCOL,
rowVersion timestamp NULL,
owner uniqueidentifier not null,
validFrom datetime
NOT NULL CONSTRAINT
DF_Periode_modified3 DEFAULT getdate()
);
Alter table [TestSchema].[Periode3]
add PeriodeType [TestSchema].[type_TestType];
now if I replace the 2 last lines with:
Alter table [TestSchema].[Periode3]
add PeriodeType uniqueidentifier;
everything works as expected.
Where did I go wrong ?

I need to find all the index and the creation date. I did cross apply of sys.objects & Sys.indexes on name column. I am getting some but the team is saying they created so many. Any other option to find Indexes and their creation date?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone suggest an appropriate strategy to create unique index's when a distributed database is used. As a bit of a background I have several SQL Server 2005 servers scattered around the country and I am trying to come up with a way to create a unique index i.e. one that hasn't been used in a particular table say Staff in any of the databases around the country.
Performance is an issue particularly as our network isn't that fantastic has anyone done something similar and achieved reasonable speeds?
Thanks ...
Hi,
Does anyone have any good tips for reducing the amount of disk space required for new clustered index creation.
I have just finished building a rather large table (48gbs) and durring the clustered index creation I came very close to running out of disk space.
What I am already doing:
1.Recovery Model simple
2. index padding 0
3. fillfactor 0
Any help would be appreciated

Script they use to generate indexes in SQL 2005.
I have 2 databases on a separate instance. I want to script out all indexes from database1 then execute it on database2.
How to accomplish this task efficiently.
is there a setting that will ebnable uniform extent allocation uponcreation of index/table by default ?if there isn't any default setting can you code it in?thanks,Doron
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Performance issue in ssrs report , query takes execution time 1 to 2 min. When I add the non clustered index for one of the table columns which takes only 2 sec to execute the query. But as from my environment I couldn't able to add the index due to these changes will effect for all reports. Without adding indexes which takes 2 min to run that report. My question is:
Is there any way to add the non-clustered index on the report itself like if a non clustered index exists "execute the query" else create a non clustered index and run that report with newly created index in report itself like a temp table concept.

We are running SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition (64-Bit) on Windows 2012 R2 Standard (64-Bit).
1. When to create indexes, before or after data is added? Please address Clustered and Non-Clustered Indexes.
2. To move indexes to it's own filegroup, is it best to create the NON-Clustered Indexes on the separate filegroup with code similar to the example below?
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Employee_OrganizationLevel_OrganizationNode
ON HumanResources.Employee (OrganizationLevel, OrganizationNode)
WITH (DROP_EXISTING = ON)
ON TransactionsFG1;
GO
I have read the following links that states that if you create the Clustered Index on a separate filegroup, it would also move the base table to that particular filegroup. (So I take it that you ONLY can move NON-CLustered Indexes to a separate filegroup.)
Placing Indexes on Filegroups:
[URL]
By default, indexes are stored in the same filegroup as the base table on which the index is created. A nonpartitioned clustered index and the base table always reside in the same filegroup. However, you can do the following:
• Create nonclustered indexes on a filegroup other than the filegroup of the base table.
Move an Existing Index to a Different Filegroup:
[URL]
Limitations and Restrictions
• If a table has a clustered index, moving the clustered index to a new filegroup moves the table to that filegroup.
• You cannot move indexes created using a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint using Management Studio. To move these indexes use the CREATE INDEX statement with the (DROP_EXISTING=ON) option in Transact-SQL.
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

We have an SSAS instance where when we run the query "select * from $system.discover_traces" the creation time in the resultset shows a different time from when we actually started the trace.
for example if we have create the trace at 3.30pm it shows 7.35 pm in the Sql server management studio resultset when we run the query "select * from $system.discover_traces".
I have some SP's I run once a month and each SP takes a few mins to run and when I batch em together in one shot, I hate sitting there waiting for them to finish
whats the easiest way to report back the status of the exec?
Ex:
Set NoCount ON
EXEC StatesUpdateZipTableUpdate 'AE'
EXEC StatesUpdateZipTableUpdate 'AK'
EXEC StatesUpdateZipTableUpdate 'AL'
EXEC StatesUpdateZipTableUpdate 'AP'
EXEC StatesUpdateZipTableUpdate 'AR'
EXEC StatesUpdateZipTableUpdate 'AZ'
How would I get it to report the results after each Exec?
In otherwords Id like to create a progress bar......
Just for Query Analyzer..... no bells and whistles
I need to logg progress of a DTS job. How do I do that? I'd like the progress to be stored in a file and emailed to me.
I need to track progress of the transfer of each table in two databases.
I am having a problem backing up a customer database to tape.
The progress bar just sits there with no movement. I have even left it running overnight and nothing the next day
I am able to backup all other databases (master, msdb, model).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Our ERP uses a Progress db but several of our web apps are developed in vb.Net and use a SQL backend. I need to pull some data in from Progress using TSQL queries.
Experimenting a little I find that a simple query, i.e. from 1 Progress table, takes anywhere from 20 seconds to a couple of minutes. However, when I joined on a 2nd table, I had to cancel the query after it ran for over 10 minutes.
SQL server is connected to Progress via a Linked server.
Any advice on improving the query will be appreciated.
I believe the query has to be in the T-SQL syntax; is that right? Where does the translation into Progress syntax occur?
Thank you,

Hello, we started a restore of a database that is just over 1.2 TB. It took 23 hours to complete the Copy Data Phase. Now, SQL Server continues to show the database in a Restoring state, however, there is no other indication of what SQL Server is doing. We do not have any way to see in which phase of the restore process SQL Server is in or how much time may be remaining. We do know that SQL Server is doing something because of the I/O activity. Its there a command, script, or other tool that we can use to determine where in the Restore process we are and how much time may be remaining? We did not use the WITH STATS = switch so that is out, and the sys.dm_exec_requests shows Percent_Complete is 100, however, we know that its not done, the Data Copy Phase has completed but the Severe is still churning.
Thanks, Clay
How Can connect tha Progress Databases in DTS?
Using Reporting Services when I go against an SQL database I use @Company.
when I go against an Oracle database I use :Company.
What do you use when you go against a Progress database?
is there a way to capture what gets written to the progress tab to a table, or is it overwritten on each execution as xml somewhere so it can be saved kind of like an odometer? the mission is to be able to audit the results of a load, or even if it doesnt turn out to be a load, then document the run.
similarly, is there a way to watch what executes to see what actually runs during a merge join transform, iow, something that exposes ssis to trace? how do i find it?
thanks
drew
Does anyone knows how to retrieve execution progress from ssis package, that was
executed programatically.
What I am trying to do, is to launch ssis package on server
and send the progress ("percent complete") to some remote client in order to display it
in progress bar.
I want that ,while ssis package executes, it will raise some event every time the progress changes.
When running large Store Procedures that take several hours, does SQL 05 have a way of monitoring the progress by telling you what it has actually completed so far rather than having to wait till the query has finished to find out.
Hi guys, I am using ASP.NET 2.0, In one web page i am loading a data from VIEW,This view takes more time to execute and this this data is i am showing in grid on page load event.and the web page only displayes after the view execute until it remains on old page User fills there is no response.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a script file which do the replication and in the script there is a lot of table need to be addad as article.
So while use osql execute the script there would be cost a lot of time. What I want to do is show a dialog which could show the progress percent and the file name which is now being addad as article.
hwo can i use Transact-SQL to do this?
Thanks a lot
Has anyone heard of/know of a SQL server Dump/Load progress indicator?
Thanks!

Does anybody have information on co-existence of SQL Server and Progress on the same machine? Are they happy to live together, or should they be given separate homes?
I would like to cut down on server proliferation, if possible, and have a server "beefy" enough to handle both, but is it a wise thing to do?
I'm trying to pull data from about 30 progress databases using DTS andscheduling the jobs to run monthly. I'd like to pull data betweenspecific dates, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to filterthe data on the progress side.I want to run a query that will pull all data fromprior-month/8/current-yearandcurrent-month/15/current-yearI'll also have to account for when it's january, make it december ofthe year before.Any ideas?thanks,M@
