Order Of Data Load And Index Creation / Move Indexes To Separate Filegroup?

Apr 15, 2015

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:

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.

Move Indexes Via ALTER INDEX

Mar 13, 2007

I was checking out an indexes property via SQL 2005 Management Studioand it looks like I can move the index to other filegroups via thedrop down.I checked the BOL ALTER INDEX and I didnt see an argument for thisaction. I see stuff about PARTITION, but I think that is for rowpartitioning??I want to move existing indexes from the PRIMARY filegroup to a newfile group just for indexes, which is called INDEXES.Can this be done via ALTER INDEX or some other way?TIARob

Move Data Between Datafile In Same Filegroup

Jan 28, 2008



Hi all

I've found this problem working with a VLDB, six month ago when I install the DBMS (Win2k3 x64+sp2, SQL 2k5 x64 +sp2, 4 dual core processor and 12 GbRAM) I've got 10 disk (actually ten LUN from a Storage Area Network), each 50Gb.
I've put TempDB and Transaction Log on two separate 50 Gb disk and put the database on 8 different data file on the 8 disk; I've created each datafile with a size of 50 Gb (autogrowth disable), so my DB has 400Gb space in it's datafile.
After a while the datafile began to fill and we decide to add a couple more 50Gb disk where I decide to put to new datafile; now my db is around 430 Gb and I've got this strange situation:


The first 8 datafile now are almost full of data, and obviously they can't growth since they already occupy the whole disk.

The two additional datafile are relatively empty (about 15 Gb each).

As far as I understand now each time that SQL should write to the databse it writes only on the 2 new datafile, and I fear that this can affect performance.
I'd like to reorganize the space in order to have 10 datafile, each with 43Gb of data, but I didn't find any instruction/tool able to move data between datafile.

Anyone has any hint ?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion
Stefano

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Move Text Data From Primary To New Filegroup?

Oct 15, 2015

I need to modify a table to reside on a new filegroup and also point TEXTIMAGE_ON to that filegroup instead of PRIMARY. Apparently in the past, the only way to achieve this via SQL is to create a new table, copy over data, drop the old table and rename the new table to the original name. I found this solution in the SQL Server 2005 forum.

Is there any other way to alter this table in order to point the TEXTIMAGE_ON to new filegroup using SQL Server 2014? We are on Standard edition. The technique I am using is the drop constraint (with move option) and add constraint (to new filegroup) commands. The data and indexes move, but not the text data (it still is in primary filegroup).

Move Table To Different Filegroup

Oct 28, 2005

I will be moving production SQL databases (one is 25Gb, the other is 3Gb) to a new server. One of the reasons is the old server has only IDE disks while the new has raid (I don't know the configuration yet).
Database 1 has a primary and one other filegroup. I want to spread the disk I/O by moving table A to it's own filegroup on it's own disk.
For the purposes of testing I have
1. brought a database onto a test server (using sp_detach_db, copying the files and attaching using sp_attach_db)
2. created a new filegroup
3. created a physical file on disk, allocated space and associated with my new filegroup

my question is how do I now move table A into this file?

Removal Of Selected Indexes / Script Index Create For List Of Indexes

Jul 1, 2014

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 To Move Internal Tables To Another Filegroup

May 25, 2007

I mange several large databases with multiple files and filegroups. During some maintenance I was trying to remove a filegroup and its files and noticed that I was unable to. It appears that some service broker objects were created on my user defined filegroup.

Looking at the system tables I see several system tables on my user defined filegroup

SELECT o.name +'.' +i.name FROM sysobjects o inner join sysindexes i on i.id = o.id where groupid = 2

queue_messages_1255675521.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1255675521.queue_secondary_index
queue_messages_1287675635.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1287675635.queue_secondary_index
queue_messages_1319675749.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1319675749.queue_secondary_index

my normal tricks do not work as I am unable to even select from these tables.

How to I move them or get rid of them. I am not even sure what is created them as we are not using service broker in our application.

In What Order Index Sorts The Data???

Sep 20, 2007

Hi,
I want to ask a basic question, that is
IN WHAT ORDER A CLUSTERED INDEX SORT THE DATA IN THE COLUMN????

Somewhere in the MSDN library I read the following line:
"A clustered index physically sorts the table's contents in the order of the specified index columns"

But Sorting means it will be in ASCENDING ORDER (ASC) or It will be in DESCENDING ORDER (DESC)
So my question is lets suppose a column on which the cluistered index is defined and it contains character data liek abcd so in wht order it will sort the data alphabetically ASC or DESC
or
If the same above case with integer type of values, if column having integer values then in wht order the data in the table will be sorted.

??????

Thanks..!!!

Express Will Not Load. Insurmountable Difficulties With Order Of Uninstalls/order Of Installs/ Suggestions Plz

Jan 7, 2007

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...

SQL Server Express edition

Visual Studios 2005

Jet 4.0 newest upgrade

.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)

VS2005 Security upgrade

Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?

I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express



Thank you, Mark

In What Order Does A Clustered Index Store Data?

Mar 26, 2007

Hi

I was going through the book by Kalen Delaney where she has mentioned the following paragpraph in Chapter 7 (Index Internals):

Many documents describing SQL Server indexes will tell you that the clustered index physically stores the data in sorted order. This can be misleading if you think of physical storage as the disk itself. If a clustered index had to keep the data on the actual disk in a particular order, it could be prohibitively expensive to make changes. If a page got too full and had to be split in two, all the data on all the succeeding pages would have to be moved down. Sorted order in a clustered index simply means that the data page chain is logically in order.

Then I read the book on SQL Server 2000 (on Perf Tuning) by Ken England. He says the clustered index stores data in physical order and any insert means moving the data physically. Also the same statement is echoed on the net by many articles.

What is the truth? How are really clustered index stored? What does physical order in the above statement really mean?

Creation Of Aligned Partitioned Indexes

Jul 24, 2007

Hi All,

In the manual I find the following comment for creating indexes.



"If partition_scheme_name or filegroup is not specified and the table is partitioned, the index is placed in the same partition scheme, using the same partitioning column, as the underlying table."



We are creating some dimensional models in SQL Server with about 100M rows in the largest fact tables.



What I have created are base tables which were on 'primary' and then created a clustered index over a partitioning scheme. I did this as I figured the data will go into the clustered index in any case.



However, when I then create indexes on these tables they do not look like they are petitioned....at least not as far as I can tell.



Q1. Is there some way to tell if the index was partitioned properly?

Q2. If the index is not partitioned is there any simply way to alter the table to the partitioning scheme? My reading of the manual tells me I have to unload, truncate, alter and then reload the table. Is there a better way?



Thanks in advance for your assistance.



Best Regards

Peter

Pros And Cons Of Placing Indexes On Separate File Groups

Apr 20, 2001

We are in the process of replacing our primary production server. In the process of determining how SQL server is going to be structured, it has been suggested that I place all current and new indexes on a separate file group. These filegroups would then reside on a separate shelf on the server. What are the pros and cons of doing this?

Specify Default Index Filegroup?

Apr 19, 2007

We are using an application that stores it's data in SQL Server 2005. The application manages the creation of all it's own objects, including indexes. I would like to migrate the index data to a new filegroup, but there is no place in the application to specify how it builds it's indexes. I assume the indexes are created without specifying a filegroup so the default Primary is used. So, I'm wondering if there is a database option somewhere that you can set the default filegroup for index data?

If not, the only way I can think of accomplishing this goal is through DDL triggers to capture Create Index and Create Table statements and overwrite the Filegroup there.


Thanks in advance.

Order Of Device Creation

Aug 27, 1998

I`m familiar with the sp_help_revdatabase stored proc which gives info on which devices a database is stored on. But I thought I`d heard of another sproc (or even a query of certain system tables) which could be used to determine the order of device creation for an entire SQL Server. The sysdevices table is fine, but doesn`t show the virtual device number, or whatever number indicates which devices were created first, second, etc.

Any suggestions?

Indexes Messed After 2000 -&> 2005 Db Move

Jun 13, 2008

Recently moved a couple of dbs from SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 (different machine). Just restored the dbs on the new server from a full backup of the old one. Everything is fine but...

Some queries are returning out-of-order results (for records added since the migration). I tracked this down to the indexes. I completely rebuilt and reorganized the indexes (online) through the manager interface. This helped provide correct ordering for existing records, but new records added since the re index are still out-of-order.

Looking for a way to permanently fix the indexes so I don't have to constantly rebuild them.

Thanks.

Right Or Wrong In Index Creation......

Feb 3, 2005

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
