Is Bookmark In A Nonclustered Index Ordered?

Jul 23, 2005

When a nonunique nonclustered index is built on top of a clustered
index, is it guaranteed that the bookmark in the nonclustered index
will be kept in the same order as the clustered index?

Here's an example to demonstrate my question:

CREATE TABLE indextest (col1 int NOT NULL,col2 int NOT NULL,col3
int,col4 int)
ALTER TABLE indextest ADD PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (col1,col2)
CREATE INDEX ix_indextest ON indextest (col1,col3)
GO
INSERT indextest VALUES (1,2,1,1)
INSERT indextest VALUES (1,3,2,1)
INSERT indextest VALUES (1,4,2,1)
INSERT indextest VALUES (2,1,1,1)
INSERT indextest VALUES (1,1,1,1)
SELECT col1,col2 FROM indextest WHERE col1=1 AND col3=1
DROP TABLE indextest

The select statement above is covered by the nonclustered index, so
that index is used. However, the nonclustered index is defined only to
ensure the ordering of col1 and col3 within the index; col1 and col2
follow within the index as the bookmark to the clustered index. When I
run this query, my desired result is to have the records appear in the
order supported by the clustered index:
1,1
1,2
As it happens, the result I got was indeed in that order, but I don't
know if it was mere coincidence, or if the bookmark in the nonclustered
index is maintained in the same order as the clustered index. If I
want to ensure the above order, is it sufficient to have the
nonclustered index defined as above, or do I need to define it as:
create index ix_indextest on indextest (col1,col3,col2)
just to be sure that the results are returned in ascending order for
col1,col2? If the two-column index is sufficient, is it guaranteed to
still be sufficient in SQL2005 and future versions of SQL Server, or am
I better off adding the third column just to be safe?

Thank you,

Advantages Of Using Nonclustered Index After Using Clustered Index On One Table

Jul 3, 2006

Hi everyone,
When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered ??
In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it ??

Thanks

CLUSTERED INDEX Or NONCLUSTERED

Feb 20, 2004

I have 3 table A, B, C

Table A (15 field, 4 fields indexed and Primary Key) – approximate rows: 50.000 – 60.000

Table B (18 field, 6 fields indexed and Primary Key) – approximate rows: 350.000 – 500.000

Table C (16 filed, 9 fields indexed and Primary Key) – approximate rows: 500.000 – 1.000.000

Structure is something like this:
A (master) --> B (detail) ---> C (sub detail)

On each 3 table is added new record, in table C the record is added after a search in table B.
My question is: Which is the best method? CLUSTERED INDEX or NONCLUSTERED INDEX

Thanks
Sorry for my english

Clustered And Nonclustered Index

Jun 2, 2006

when do you use them?

i only know you use clustered when you have million of records. So once the table has been indexed, query statement is able to retrieve the recordset faster.

what about nonclustered?

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX

Jul 6, 2007

Hi guys. I have a table named [Check] and need to create an index for CVNumber field. The table has no primary key for the meantime. I tried this script but error occured.


BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
GO
COMMIT
BEGIN TRANSACTION
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Check_1 ON dbo.[Check]
(
CVNumber
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
COMMIT

Error message:

Server: Msg 3023, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed.
Server: Msg 3902, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The COMMIT TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION.


Is it because I used the table name Check which is a reserved word for SQL? But I included [ ].

Please help. Thank you.

Composite Nonclustered Index

Jul 18, 2006

Hi everyone,
I have some problems on composite nonclustered indexes. I could not exatly understand their logic.
In my opininon, suppose that we have a table called Order and we create a composite nonclustered index on this table for OrderID column and OrderDate column. So I am using this query;

SELECT * FROM Order WHERE OrderID > 12 ORDER BY OrderDate
So in here, I think our first research is based on OrderID and ten after ordering our data pointer according to the OrderID and then our index is converted to an index which is based on OrderDate while performing ordering. So is this correct ??
Would you please explain this ?

Thanks

NonClustered Index Page Splitting

Dec 3, 2007


I am attempting to understand the behaviour of a nonclustered index in regards to page splitting.

If I had the following table:-

Col1, Col2, Value

This table has a Clustered index on Col1, Col2 and a NonClustered index on Col2 and include Col1, Values.

If inserts into Col1 were causing page splits in the Clustered index, what are the effects on the NonClustered index?

I am attempting to understand what happens to the NonClustered index in this scenario so that I can make a decision on what fillfactor to use.

What Is A Bookmark, And Why Is It Costing Me 32%?

Apr 26, 2007

okay, so i've been slowly working on an application mostly VB/ASP.Net based that is basically i dummied down query builder. the user selects a bunch of controls off the website, then submits it for a query. the server then executes a dynamic stored procedure, and the website builds a count with the results. i have a couple of questions, i've come to the point where if the query isnt finished inside 30 seconds, the site times out, so i'm looking at a query here, and i have a "BookMark LOOKUP" that is costing me 32% of the query. what can i do to stop that?

how can i get my indexes to perform faster, and is it an issue with the procedure that causes some queries to time out, or is it just the way the data is organized?

Bookmark In Code Not Working.

Feb 13, 2007

I have a report in reporting services that has a bookmark value asigned to each row. In the following Page_Load event for the page, I'm getting the following error on the ReportViewer1.JumpToBookmark("6") statement:

"An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Some parameters or credentials have not been specified"


Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

If Not IsPostBack Then

Dim strReport1 As String = "/ReportDirectory/CurrentWeekSales"

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = New System.Uri(CStr(Session.Item("ReportServer")))
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = strReport1
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Timeout = 500000

Do While ReportViewer1.ServerReport.IsDrillthroughReport
ReportViewer1.PerformBack()
Loop

Dim RptParameters1 As ReportParameter() = New ReportParameter(0) {}
RptParameters1(0) = New ReportParameter("EBO_EmpKey", CStr(Session.Item("UserKey")))
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(RptParameters1)

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh()

ReportViewer1.JumpToBookmark("6")

End If
End Sub

What am I missing?

Work Tables/bookmark Lookups

Feb 4, 2006

I notice that SQL Server 2005 creates worktables where SQL 2000 does not. Often these work tables appear in STATISTICS IO, but they show a 0 scan count and 0 logical reads. These worktables often appear to be substituted for bookmark lookups.

Has the optimizer decided to use worktables instead of bookmark lookups (often resulting in a higher cost plan)?

BookMark Link && Report Navigation

Nov 21, 2007



All,

Is there a way to combine the Bookmark and report link functionalities in reporting services. For example, I have two reports. When I click a link in first report, I would like to be able to navigate to second report but not at the top of the report but at a particular report item way down in the second report, sort of like an anchor on an HTML page. Can I do this?

Thanks.

Jump To Report (specific Bookmark)

Jun 7, 2006

Is there a way to jump from one report to a specific bookmark in the second report? I have a chart that jumps quite nicely to a filtered version of the report, but instead would like to be able to jump to the entire report at the specific location (e.g., Bookmark) related to the chart data item.

I know that it's quite easy to jump to a bookmark within the same report. What I can't quite determine is how to jump from one report to a specific section in a second report.

Thanks.

Clustered Vs Nonclustered PK

Jul 16, 2007

Ok, let me try to set the stage.



Between 2m and 5m inserts per day. NO UPDATES.



Table has a 4 part primary key. All BigInt data types. Key value 1 and 2 have a range between 1 and 100. Key values 3 and 4 are auto incrementing values (forign key values) from other tables.



Space is an issue, so we have chosen not to have an additional column for a counter field for the PK. (We would never use the field for querying.)



Users complained of query speeds, so we added a couple non clustered indexs. This brought up the query speeds a lot. But of course it slowed down the input speed a bit. Nothing dramatic, but enough so we could tell.



Now the users was to increase the amount of data by about 5X. Obviosly I'm somewhat concerend, as SQL is already spending a lot of the day pegged.



So, in looking around, since the new indexes seem to be the most help in querying, I'm thinking of dropping the PK back to a nonclustered index, so I can get rid of the over head of restructring the data table on every insert. Then maybe making one of the other indexes the clustered index. (only 2 columns in this index)



Thoughts?

Getting Items That Were Ordered Alone

Jun 25, 2007

Hello Experts. You may have more luck at this than me.



I am interested in finding the quantity of items that were ordered alone. I have an orderid field and a product field. So the count of the orderid has to equal one and the have them grouped by product.



Example of how data looks like

I am looking for transactions like orderid 3 and 5.







OrderID
Product

1
hotdog

1
burger

1
taco

2
burrito

2
snack

2
chips

3
burger

4
hotdog

4
burger

4
taco

5
burrito

6
snack

6
chips



When i run



SELECT product, count(orderid)

From Table

Where BusinessDateID = 20060725

group by product

having (count(orderid)=1)



I only get back items that were only sold once.



I am looking for a result that looks like this









Product
Ordered alone

hotdog
2

burger
3

taco
4

burrito
32

snack
12

chips

I Want To Jump To An Entry Specified By Parameter, Doable As Bookmark?

Aug 30, 2006

I know I can do to just show 1 entry

select * from table where no = @parameter_no



but is it possible to actually select ALL entries (I have 250 for now) in the list report, but jump to a particular # based on parameter?

Say I have ID 1 ~ 250 (select * from table) in DataSet, but when I enter 220 in parameter, the report still selects all 250 entries but jump to the 220 entry?

I have bookmark set up on each entry

Thanks for any help. I noticed in my search that jump to a report + bookmark isn't supported, does my situation fall under that?

Nonclustered Indexes Quickie

Jul 31, 2007

Hi You know when you reread something you've read many times and a penny suddenly seems to drop and you realise that you probably just never quite got it afterall? If creating a nonclustered index with no includes statement it is totally pointless to specificy a fillfactor other than 0 or 100 if you do not also use the PAD_INDEX option? Thought I'd make it a poll just for the hell of it.:)

BCP Export With Ordered Data

Sep 13, 2000

I need to export data in a specific order (e.g. the order in which the data was inserted into the table). My BCP was doing this then just started exporting in random order. I know that SQL 7 doesn't guarantee return order unless specified by an ORDER BY clause. However, that's not possible with BCP unless you use the command line BCP with the QUERYOUT option. That's my problem. I'm using the BulkCopy object in DMO and I don't see an option to order the data or use a query with an order by statement. Any suggestions?

Returning Ordered Result Set, Except First Row

Jan 31, 2008

Hi all,

I feel like I'm missing something really simple here...

I'm trying to write an sp to return a list of countries alphabetically to populate a web drop-down list in a form. However, since most people using the form will be from USA, I want "USA" to appear as the first row, then the rest should be alphabetical, e.g. ("USA", "Afghanistan", "Albania"... "Zimbabwe")

I'm using a UNION query, but it's ordering the result set so that USA appears alphabetically, not as the first row. I'm not using an ORDER BY clause.

Here's the code I'm using:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetCountries AS

SELECT Country_Name
FROM Countries
WHERE Country_Name = 'USA'

UNION

SELECT Country_Name
FROM Countries
WHERE Country_Name <> 'USA'

GO

I also tried selecting into a temp table and doing a UNION that way, but got the same results.

How To Use BETWEEN With Custom-ordered Values

Jul 23, 2005

We have a 10 digit primary key value in this format: M000123456. Theorder for this key is first determined by positions 3 and 4 in thisexample, then positions 1 and 2. So a brief sample of correct orderingwould look like this:M000001501M000011501M000021501M000001601M000011601M000021601Now my question: how can I use a BETWEEN (or > and <) in my WHEREclause to get a range of values for this column? I use the followingORDER BY clause to control how the results are sorted, but I can't getthe same logic to work with BETWEEN in a WHERE clause.ORDER BY SUBSTRING(<fieldname>, 7, 2), SUBSTRING (<fieldname>, 5, 2)How do I return values between M000011501 and M000011601 for example?

Ordered Update Problems

Jan 18, 2008

I€™m trying to follow examples from: http://www.sqlmag.com/Articles/ArticleID/49240/49240.html?Ad=1 for an update statement that needs to run in a specified order.


Here€™s my problem:

I have a table:

TopicActivity
PK €“ DayNum int (this is a date in YYYYDDD format)
PK €“ TopicId int
Visits int
LifetimeVisits int

LifetimeVisits is a new column that I want to calculate the value using the previous Visits column data.

Sample Data:
DayNum TopicId Visits LifetimeVisits
2008001 1 5 0
2008002 2 1 0
2008002 1 3 0
2008003 1 10 0

I want the end result to look like this:
DayNum TopicId Visits LifetimeVisits
2008001 1 5 5
2008002 2 1 1
2008002 1 3 8
2008003 1 10 18

Here is the query I€™ve been trying:

WITH ordered AS
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY TopicId ORDER BY DayNum) AS RowNum
FROM TopicActivity
)
update ordered set
ordered.LifetimeVisits = ordered.Visits +
isnull((select o2.LifetimeVisits
from ordered as o2
where o2.TopicId = ordered.TopicId
and o2.RowNum = (ordered.RowNum - 1)),0)


The update doesn€™t seem to be happening in order as LifetimeVisits seems to have random results every time I run the query. (Usually the first couple of rows are right. I€™m dealing with thousands of records) I can€™t use a cursor as the query takes way to long.

I'm running SQL Server 2005.

How Can It Automatically Generating A Ordered Number

Jul 5, 2006

hi,
i am a newcomer and a freshman in asp.net. i am now writing a web-based system for SME as my final year project. i am going to use sql server and asp.net in C# to perform my final year project.
as asp.net is new for me, i would have some simple problems to ask.
1. in the project, i would like the system can automatically generate the enquiry number for each new order input to the system. for example today is 05 July 2006, the enquiry number would like 2006211xxxx, where 2006 is year, 211 is the day count start from 1 Jan and xxxx is the random number/ ordered number. how can i implement this? i even don't know how to generate the ordered number. could anyone help me
2. if there is an unknown test sample in each order input. as the sample number for each order is different, how can i set a flexible table that can have different number of rows for user to input the test result.
thanks

Aggregate And Group By - Sum Of Items Ordered In One Row

Jan 16, 2014

Installed the Northwind database for data to practice with. I'm trying to combine data from several tables to make the orders table more readable. Meaning, I'm trying to replace the EmployeeID field with the combination of the firstname and lastname fields from the Employees table. Everything works fine until I try to sum the Unit price field from the [Order Details] table. Using just a SUM() function or the Select statement below causes the error and any combination of fields in the Group By command don't correct it. It's clear that I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure how to get the data I want or use the group by command properly. Query below:

Select o.OrderID, c.companyName, e.firstname + ' ' + e.lastname EmployeeName, o.orderdate, s.companyName,
o.Freight, o.shipName, o.ShipAddress, (Select Sum(od.UnitPrice) from [Order Details] od where od.OrderID = o.OrderID)as Amount
from orders o, customers c, Employees e, Shippers s, [Order Details] od
where o.CustomerID = c.CustomerID

[Code] ....

Running the first query (with the select statement) works, but returns a row for each of the the items that was ordered for that OrderID and NOT using the Group By. I would like to have the SUM() of the items ordered in one row. Is this possible?
