Is there a way to list all table index in a user database? Not the system index.

I copied a database from my production server to the development server and now i dont see the users in the database from the enterprise manager,database and users folder. But, When i run a query to against the sysuser table from a query analyser I can see those users here. Why cant I see in from the Enterprise manager. Any advice please..
Appreciated any comments on this.

Is it possible to list all the tables in a database? I need to list the tablenames, is that possible with a .mdb database?
Only by using SQL, I want no frontend programming.
And is it possible to list all fieldnames of a known table.
All help appreciated

I am trying to create indexing structure for my table in SQL Server 2005. For the way i wanted the indexing I cant use the "create Index " statement. Does anyone tell me how to create indexing strctures from scratch ( like using select statements etc ) or any other ideas. waiting for ur replies guys.
Thank You

I'm working to improve performance on a database I've inherited, and there are several thousand indexes. I've got a list of ones which should definitely exist within the database, and I'm looking to strip out all the others and start fresh, though this list is still quite large (1000 or so).
Is there a way I can remove all the indexes that are not in my list without too much trouble? I.e. without having to manually go through them all individually. The list is currently in a csv file.
I'm looking to either automate the removal of indexes not in the list, or possibly to generate the Create statements for the indexes on the list and simply remove all indexes and then run these statements.
As an aside, when trying to list all indexes in the database, I've found various scripts to do this, but found they all seem to produce differing results. What is the best script to list all indexes?
How can I drop all the indexes in all the tables in a MS 2000 SQL Server?

Background. We have a multicompany ERP system (200GB, 200+ tables). All data tables have a companyid, counter1id, counter2id, fields. Each table has a primary clusterd index on these fields in that order. And also has multiple other indexes that usually include companyid filed first. ( Note we have 10 companies, ids are 1..10, companies 2 and 5 are the most active, inserts, selects ). MY GUESS IS THAT THIS IS VERY BAD HAVING COMPANYID FIRST. AM I CORRECT? LEADS TO AL LOT OF FRAGMENTATION? VERY BAD TO FIND DATA ON THE INDEXES?
I want to re-create all my indexes and have them counter2id, companyid, counter2id. ( counter1id is a counter for each company, and counter2id is a global counter like identity ) GOOD OR BAD IDEA?
Since I have hundreds of indexes what is the correct procedure? I was thinking on scripting the database, then dropping all indexes, then recreate clustered indexes, then recreate other indexes. Do I have to take care of anything else foreing relationships, etc.
Hi,
I want to get information about all the indexes in a database.
Can any one suggest me a query for this.
Thanks.
There are too many indexes built on DB. As per the naming convention it seems the indexes are built as per the suggestions provided from execution plan. I presume most of the indexes are used only once in a month for the reports but are hampering the performance of daily running queries. These are also occupying a lot of space.
To confirm on this I have used the below query to know & identify the unused indexes. I have recorded the counters before and after the huge operations and I observed NO CHANGE in any of the values.
What the below values exactly indicate and when do they change? Is it good to delete the indexes having low USER_SEEKS, USER_SCANS, USER_LOOKUPS?
Query:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(S.[OBJECT_ID]) AS [OBJECT NAME],
I.[NAME] AS [INDEX NAME],
USER_SEEKS,
USER_SCANS,
USER_LOOKUPS,
[Code] .....
I have come across a database system which isn't designed to work optimally. It is fairly large (~400GB) and performance of loading and querying is degrading (improper data types, fragmented indexes, non unique clustering key and other problems). So, I have quite a task in front of me, but I am up for the challenge. I figure this is not a unique situation, many of us would have come across this before. I have done this before too, but only for smaller databases, some of the operations here I expect to take a couple of hours or more to complete (depending on load/infrastructure speed etc, I know).
My plan is thus:
+ Take a full backup of the database
+ Set the recovery model of the DB to simple
+ Drop non clustered indexes
+ Drop clustered indexes
+ Remove PKs (wrong data types, too large!)
+ Narrow data types (add new column, update column in batches to old value, rename new column to old column)
+ Add PKs, which will create clustered indexes automatically based on PK ID
+ Create non clustered indexes
+ Run a SHRINKDB (normal operations I would never do this, but this is a special case, ensure log file is truncated to a logical size especially after all those table modifications...)
+ Set the recovery model of the DB to Full
+ Ensure everything works OK or better
I am in need to generate script of all the indexes in a particular database in the format "if not exist ....create index" format.I tried to google this I get for missing indexes, fragmentation level all that extra stuff, I need only in the format of "The script should be in "if not exist ....create index" format for a single database.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to create an index on a table from the Database Explorer.
I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition.
I downloaded Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express with the intention of using it to create an index, but it does not seem to find the database that I created from the Database Explorer.
Thanks!
Scenario:
We run a multiple database environment, with two of the databases receiving most of the user activity. (both write and read). These databases are roughly 25gb each and receive roughly the same amount of activity. Currently both of the .mdf files sit on the same drive shelf. Their log files are located on a separate drive shelf.
Debate: We have an extra fiber channel shelf available for us to use. We are not having too many problems related to performance, but we are always seeking for different ways to increase application/server performance. The debate centers on what to do with the extra shelf. There are two different suggestions on how best to use the shelf. They are:
1)Separate the .mdf files for two most utilized databases. This would separate the databases and the I/O associated with each across two different shelves
2)Break off the indexes for all 5 databases on to the extra shelf. This would leave all the .mdf files on the same shelf, but it would move the I/O associated with the indexes to a different shelf.
Can anyone provide the pros and cons of either suggestion?
I would like to see arguements for either side.

When creating the snapshot I didn't choose the option copy non-clustered indexes. I created some indexes manually on subscriber database. Replication failed later with some issue.
so reinitialized with new snapshot but all the indexes are gone from the subscriber database.
How to keep the indexes without dropping from subscriber database whenever we reinitialized with snapshot
We have transaction replication set up on one of our servers whose replicated DB is used for reporting purpose:
Now, the replicated database "D" of size 350 GB has mainly grown huge as compared to Published DB (200 GB) because of the index sizes at subscribed DB. Therefore:
I have found that Database D has one table of data size 15 GB, with rows 8349533 and index size 28 GB the biggest in the database. And adding have total of 109 Non clustered indexes:
On using SP_blitzindex i have found approx 50 NC indexes unused with below usage:
Reads: 0 Writes:273,243 and total size of indexes being 18 GB
Last User Seek
Last User Scan
Last User Lookup all '0'Â
0 singleton lookups; 0 scans/seeks; 0 deletes; 0 updates;Â
except for few 3 or 4 where updates are more than 4000.
Is this sufficient enough to delete all the above 49 unused NC indexes? And Can i create Missing index on Subscriber database?
Hi,
How can I copy a database table with all its data, indexes and constraints to a new table in the same database in sql server 2005
Is there a performance limit on the number of indexes per table / database ? With Filtered indexes there appear to be many more opportunities for more finely defined, and therefore smaller indexes resulting in many more indexes on a single table.

I need you to answer a question:
What should I do and which SQL Server tool do I have to use in order to find a job listing on the database ?
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to get the following code to work but I keep getting an error.
DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint 'FK__titleauth__title__060DEAE8'. The conflict occurred in database 'pubs', table 'titleauthor', column 'title_id'.
Has anyone else experienced a problem with this example? Let me know what is wrong
with it.

I want something like:
select TableName, IndexName
from SomeSystemTables
where TableName like 'Src%'
and IndexName not like '_WA%'
I plan on using this in a cursor in order to delete all indexes. Then I rebuild all tables from an old VMS.Ingres database and create new indexes.
I've looked over previous posts on listing indexes, but don't get the method for identifying both the tablename and the indexname in the same query. DB is SQL2000.

Does anyone know of a system stored procedure that I can run to print a list of indexes for a specific datbase. I know I can do it for a specified table, but I would like it for all tables. Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I want to make a logfile where i store all tables, collnames and values of a specified database. Which statement can I use in SQLserver or Oracle? I already found the following statements:
Oracle:
select * from all_tables
select * from user_tables
SQLserver:
select * from sysobjects where type'='U'
So getting the tablenames isn't the problem. The question is how the get the matching columns with their type and value.
Tnx.
I have a query that lists the names of all employees and the number of training modules they have sat. The query is below:

The cont goes all the way down to those who have sat 1 module.
I now however need to be able to report all those names of individuals who have sat 0 courses.
Any help appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am trying to upgrade a 2000 DB to 2005 with SSIS Database Transfer.
I finally got it to work with an online transfer but the destination database has no primary keys, indexes or identity columns from the source DB.
What am I missing?
What other ways are there to upgrade a SS2000 DB to 2005?
Thank you.
I have written the following query which returns the number of orders received grouped by the year and month:
SELECT DATEPART(yyyy, order_placeddate) AS year, DATEPART(mm, order_placeddate) AS month, count(order_id) AS orders
FROM orders
GROUP BY DATEPART(yyyy, order_placeddate), DATEPART(mm, order_placeddate)
ORDER BY year, month
year month orders
---- ----- ------
2004 6 17
2004 7 37
2004 8 30
2004 9 42
2004 10 34
2004 11 46
2005 1 25
2005 2 7
2005 4 1
The obvious problem with the above is that it misses out the months that have no orders, i.e. December, March, May, etc.
Is there a way I can amend my query so that it shows all months regardless of whether any orders were placed?
I have thought about trying to LEFT OUTER JOIN the above to a table that has rows with values of 1 – 12, but I’m not convinced this is the answer... and I don’t really know how to do it!
Do let me know if any of the above is unclear – what I’m after is the following:
year month orders
---- ----- ------
2004 6 17
2004 7 37
2004 8 30
2004 9 42

2004 12 0
2005 1 25
2005 2 7
2005 3 0
2005 4 1
2005 5 0

Hey all. I apologize, but I'm a developer, not a DBA. I need to run a query that will list each table in a DB as well as the columns i nthose tables.
I know that you can use: EXEC sp_help 'table_name' to get a description, but I'm not sure how to set up a cursor to substitute the table names, or where to get the tables names.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
