Moving Indexes To
Dec 4, 2000
Hi,
I need to separate the data and indexes onto different drives.Currently they r all on same drive..Now i need to move indexes onto a separate drive.There are no file groups now except the default.
I plan to create a file group on the new drive.I know if i Drop clustered indexes and recreate them on the new file group,it will separate the data pages from index pages.But the data pages need to be on the same drive as it is now.So i need to move index pages or non-clustered indexes only on to the new file group on the new drive.Even this can be done by choosing a different file group for the non clustered index in Enterprise manager.But this very cumbersome if there exists many tables as is the case now like 300 tables..
My Question is,
1.Is there any way to script only indexes so that it includes drop and create commands to be created on new file group???
2.Is there any other way to do this..
Please let me know if any body worked on this before..I really appreciate if some body can give me info on this..
thanks

I have been asked to move the indexes on our membership database tables to seperate partitions on the server. This is a new concept to me and thought I could use some advice on how to go about doing it.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to find out if it is possible to move indexes to a separate filegroup/disk drive during database restore. I am trying this to see if it improves performance. Also if I cannot move the indexes during restore, how would I move them afterwards to a different filegroup/disk drive? Thanks in advance for all the help.

I want to move all indexes into new separate drive for this I need to create new .ndf file in particular drive.
Mirroring has configured for the DB but the principal and mirror servers do not have same drives.
I want to move indexes to new drive and the derive is not present in mirror server.

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.

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?

So I'm reading http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips/clustered_indexes_p2.aspx and I come across this:
When selecting a column to base your clustered index on, try to avoid columns that are frequently updated. Every time that a column used for a clustered index is modified, all of the non-clustered indexes must also be updated, creating additional overhead. [6.5, 7.0, 2000, 2005] Updated 3-5-2004
Does this mean if I have say a table called Item with a clustered index on a column in it called itemaddeddate, and several non-clustered indexes associated with that table, that if a record gets modified and it's itemaddeddate value changes, that ALL my indexes on that table will get rebuilt? Or is it referring to the table structure changing?
If so does this "pseudocode" example also cause this to occur:
sqlstring="select * from item where itemid=12345"
rs.open sqlstring, etc, etc, etc
rs.Fields("ItemName")="My New Item Name"
rs.Fields("ItemPrice")=1.00
rs.Update
Note I didn't explicitly change the value of rs.fields("ItemAddedDate")...does rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate")=rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate") occur implicitly, which would force the rebuild of all the non-clustered indexes?

I have a requirement to only rebuild the Clustered Indexes in the table ignoring the non clustered indexes as those are taken care of by the Clustered indexes.
In order to do that, I have taken the records based on the fragmentation %.
But unable to come up with a logic to only consider rebuilding the clustered indexes in the table.
create table #fragmentation
(
FragIndexId BigInt Identity(1,1),
--IDENTITY(int, 1, 1) AS FragIndexId,
DBNAME nvarchar(4000),
TableName nvarchar(4000),
[Code] ....

Does anyone have the idea why the Indexes with _WA.....(like _WA_Sys_au_fname_07020F21) gets created.I don't how this index got created. I did not create this Index.
My Question is does the system creates these indexes or something else does this.
Thanks

At present I have been assigned to create indexes to retrieve the information fast, from the table. The existing table doesn’t have primary key, foreign key and unique constraints but I found to many default indexes already created by the system. I would like to know how this happened? Please inform how to delete these default indexes. Further, inform me other possible ways for the faster retrieval in SQL sever 7.0, if there are any.
I would appreciate if you send me a step by step explanations for the above problems.
Thanks a lot

I have run into a snag on my development server. Queries that are selecting data based on indexed fields in a where clause are using the wrong indexes. They are arbitrarily using the clustered index which isn't in the select at all and causing big performance problems. I can run the same statements on my production server and it runs based on the proper indexes. I used query execution plans to determine that this was infact the case.
I run DBCC Checkdb everynight and it comes back with no errors. I also rebuild the indexes. We also don't receive any other errors inputting or updating data. This sounds like corruption to me but if it's something else I don't want to spend the night restoring from production if there is another reason.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas?
Appreciate it, K.

Can you please tell me what is clustered , hypothetical and the indexes starting with _WA supposed to be. Also there are lot of duplicate stats. Is it Ok to deletes those.
_WA_Sys_is_platinum_0A9D95DB
_WA_Sys_active_0A9D95DB nonclustered, statistics, auto create located on PRIMARY Active

hind_c_37_1 clustered, hypothetical located
Thanks

Is there a way T-SQL script can find out all indexes built on a set of tables, drop them and periodically ( quarterly as an example ) re-build them ?
Thanks in advance for help.

I am on SQL 6.5.
I have a question about speed and indexes. I have a static table (no updates except once a year). I want to be able to search data quickly on one column or many columns. I have created nonclustered indexes on each of the columns I search by. Is there anything else I can do to speed up my queries? Unfortunately all the searches involve using the like operator. I have even broken my table down into 2 smaller tables (Table A ~ 3 million rows, Table B 8 million rows).
All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

We have to interduce a new naming convention for the indexes currently available in the user databases.
We also have to drop all the old indexes available in about 250 tables and recreate them all acording to the naming convention we are coming up with.
Can any body suggest any idea.
I thank you guys in advance for your considaration.

hi.
there 2 different queries
1
[MYSQL].... where Cat=@CatID and Date=@Date[/MYSQL]
2
[MYSQL]... where Cat=@CatID and Date=@Date and Salesman=@SID[/MYSQL]
these queries are often used.
my question is about indexes.
should I use two different indexes?
index 1 : Cat,Date
index 2 : Cat,Date,Salesman
or only index 2 is enough ?

I need to alphabetize PART of a union all query, and was told that this may be accomplished with an index. I tried joining two views, but it does not work! I have NO experience with indexes and need some help.
Here is my code:
Select id, country from countries where id = 6 union all Select id, country from countries where id <> 6
I want the country with id 6 (USA) to be the default on a drop down list, then all the other countries listed after it in alphabetical order. Can you do this with an index? If so, how do I proceed?
Thanks!

We recently updated some of the databases from MS Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000. In Access we had columns which were set to Indexed No Duplicates, these were not Primary key fields. Is this possible to set some indexes to prevent duplicates in SQL Server without creating performance issues?

Q1
The table i have stores max 2000 records. Not sure if i neeed a clustered index for this few records. I guess not.
Q2
For the same table as above. How do you create primary keys if there is not unique records.
Do i create a new column? like newColumnID identity? and create a primary key on this new column? Ok even if i create this newcolumn. I don't think it will improve the retrieving speed cause i'm not selecting this column.
Opinions, ideas?

I've created indexes for the queries below running select getdate() before and after the query to determine the time. I'm curioius as to how sql server determines and decides how and when to use the indexes for the queries and how the run times of these queries compare. I'm also curious to know what kind of difference there would be on the last two queries as the only difference is the values.
For the last two queries I don't think there would be a difference but hoping that someone would know.
Below are my results:
select count(distinct CustomerID)
from Orders
where Status = 5
SELECT getdate()
go
Create Index Orders_Index On Orders(customerID)
go
SELECT getdate()
select sum(TotalDue)
from Orders
where CustomerID = 11212
select getdate()
go
Create Index Orders_Index On Orders(customerID)
go
select getdate()
select count(distinct AccountNumber)
from Orders
where SalesPersonID = 288
select getdate()
go
Create Index Orders_Index On Orders(salespersonID)
go
select getdate()
select count(distinct AccountNumber)
from Orders
where SalesPersonID = 276
select getdate()
go
Create Index Orders_Index On Orders(salespersonID)
go
select getdate()

I have a very large table (about 200,000 records), but there are only 2 fields in the table only one populated with data. I need to update the 2nd field with the first field's data.
UPDATE Table1
SET field2 = field1
This is taking a really long time to run about 3.5 minutes.
Is this normal? Can I create an index? What can I do to shorten the run time?
Thanks,
Ninel

Aren't all indexes created as separate structures from a table?
Although the index is created against a particular
table, doesn't the index itself exist in the database as a separate,
self-contained structure?
Which index type -- clustered or nonclustered -- logically
sorts the database of a table?

When do we should not use the indexes?
In Inserts? In Updates? in Deletes?
If i have a massive delete like:
delete from table1 where column1='X' (2 million rows) should i have the index enabled or not?
Whats the best option? To disable indexes on massive inserts and then rebuild or to delete and recreate?
Best Regards
