How am I configuring permission for an SQL database, that user within my program should'nt read private information?
as well how can I protect my database with a UN & PWD to allow access only for authenticated users, not within the program, just the *.mdf file?
Qustion On Installing SQL Exxpress Edition

I'm thinking of learning Sql. I have Server management studio: express and I'm trying to install Sql express. I have the some of the things that come in the install program in SQLEXPR ( Sql express), I get to where I get to a few thing to pick the fetures to install and componets to andstall and then I get this error " TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup

DBREINDEX - More
Jan 8, 2002I ran the dbreindex using query analyzer (on the tables mentioned in my previous posting - 1/7/02) and still the scan density remains at 50%.
I do not understand why the dbreindex is not reorging these tables to a
higher scan density.
I used a fill factor of 90%.
DBREINDEX
Dec 17, 2001HI,
I have a database at 30GB, with 'FULL' recovery model. The transaction log backup after a DBREINDEX job on this database is creating a very huge backup file. Any Idea how can I avoid such a huge backup file.
I have tried to change the recovery model to 'Bulk_logged' before DBREINDEX and changed it back to 'FULL'. That sure helped me to avoid the growth of log file. But, that did not help me to reduce the size of the transactional log backup file.

Dbcc Dbreindex
Jan 7, 2002We are new to SQL Server and we are currently setting up a job that
does a dbreindex for tables that need it. I got the scripts for this
from swynk. 50 of the tables that needed a dbreindex,
(under 90% scan density) were not impacted by running the dbreindex.
I.e., I ran the dbreindex and it left it at 50% scan density.
The fill factor for these tables is set to 100%.
I tried update stats, updateusage...nothing changes....
I am sure there must be a logical reason as to why the dbreindex
had no impact on these tables. Does any one have any info on this?
Thanks in advance!
DBCC DBREINDEX
Mar 21, 2001I am executing a DBCC DBREINDEX for a table with about
4 million rown in SQL6.5. I has run for about
15 hrs now and is till running.
The index is the PK for the table and it is clustred index.
I ran it on a non clustered index on the same table and it ran for a couple of hrs.
Does any one have any idea how much time it might take for the clustered index?
I heard that this process might take more time and for one of my friends it ran for more than 40 hours.
I don;t have so much if time as th DB has to go for production to night and if not it might effect our businees.
I cancelled DBCC DBREINDEX before by killing the process and the master.DAT file got corrupted.I had to restore everytihng. Does anyone know any work around?
Help appreciated.
Thanks.

Aug 14, 2001Hi,
I wanted to know is DBCC DBREINDEX is a logged operation?
The reason why I am asking this is, Whenever we create an index or drop an existing it is a logged operation. Is this the same when we do DBCC DBREINDEX? Is it drops existing indexes and creates new indexes. My concern here is about transaction log. If I run a DBCC DBREINDEX on a huge table with lot of indexes, Is it going to fill transaction log?
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you,
Ravi.

SQL Server 7
After database clean up (removing old data)I run dbcc dbreindex.
Is it true I don't need to run UPDATE STATISTICS after DBCC DBREINDEX as since SQL Server 7 runs UPDATE STATISTICS automatically (after dbcc dbreindex).
Thank you.

DBREINDEX:How Does It Work?
Jun 10, 2005Can anyone shed some light as to how SQL Server performs DBCC DBREINDEX?
Does it use PRIMARY data file space and how much extra data space/log space do we need to have to be able to run this command?

Jan 10, 2006Hi All,
I have a following script:
DECLARE @TableName sysname
DECLARE cur_reindex CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN cur_reindex
FETCH NEXT FROM cur_reindex INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'Rebuilding indexes ' + @TableName + ' table'
DBCC DBREINDEX (@TableName, ' ', 10)
FETCH NEXT FROM cur_reindex INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE cur_reindex
DEALLOCATE cur_reindex
GO
I added as a step in the job. However, when I run it I get an error message:
Msg 2501, Sev 16: Could not find a table or object named 'table_1'. Check sysobjects. [SQLSTATE 42S02]
When I run
SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
table_1 is the first on list. Any idea why I am getting this error message?

May 17, 2004Has anyone had the problem with DBCC DBREINDEX on a table/index not doing anything.
You just get the usual "DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator." message.
I have tried:
DBCC DBREINDEX ('<table_name>')
DBCC DBREINDEX (<table_name>)
DBCC DBREINDEX ('<table_name>', '')
DBCC DBREINDEX ('<table_name>', '<index_name>')
DBCC DBREINDEX ('<table_name>', '<index_name>', 80)
Maybe its "optimising" and not thinking anything needs updating.
Should I look for an alternative way of rebuilding an index like dropping and recreating?
The beauty with DBCC DBREINDEX ('<table_name>') would have been that I was going to get the list of user tables in the database and call it for each table to simply rebuild all indexes.
DB Maintenance -dbreindex
Apr 19, 2007We are running a maintenance plan that rebuilds the indexes for all the databases. I have ran showcontig after the maintenance plan and am still seeing fragmentation. Here is one of the master tables that is included in on the maintenance job.
sysobjects table:
pages scanned - 5
extents scanned - 3
extents switches - 3
avg. pages per extent - 1.7
scan density - 25%
logical scan fragmentation - 40%
extent fragmentation - 66.67%
avg.bytes free per page - 1360.4

According to what I have read this still seems to be fragmented. What can be done to improve this?

DBREINDEX/INDEXDEFRAG A Few Questions
Jun 29, 2004I pretty much understand the differences between DBCC DBREINDEX and DBCC INDEXDEFRAG. However, I need the forums help to understand a few specific issues relating to clustered/non-clustered indexes and the advantages/disadvantages of running the DBCC DBREINDEX/INDEXDEFRAG against the table or against each specific index...
"If a table has a clustered index, it's only necessary to re-index the clustered index because any non-clustered indexes on that table will be automatically re-indexed as well."
I think the above statement is true for DBCC DBREINDEX but is the following statement true for DBCC INDEXDEFRAG:-
"If a table has a clustered index, it's only necessary to Index Defrag the clustered index because any non-clustered indexes on that table will be automatically defragged as well."
Following on from the above, is there any advantage with an index maintenance strategy to individually running DBCC DBREINDEX against each specific index as opposed to running it against the table and letting SQL sort out the underlying indexes? Does the same apply to DBCC INDEXDEFRAG?
Regards,
Clive

DBCC DBREINDEX Not Working
Jul 23, 2005I have a stored proc that identifies indexes that need to bedefragmented ( LogicalFragmentation > 20% ) using DBCC SHOWCONTIG.This works fine and shows me all of the candidate indexes to bedefragged. I am using DBCC DBREINDEX to rebuild the indexes. What Inoticed yesterday is that it seems that DBREINDEX is not actually doinganything. I would check the target indexes, run DBREINDEX, then checkagain. The same list of indexes came up unchanged.What is strange is although I am not specifying "WITH NO_INFOMSGS" thisis the only output from the DBREINDEX:"DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact yoursystem administrator."According to BOL DBREINDEX should return a result set if "NO_INFOMSGS"is not specified, but if "NO_INFOMSGS" is supplied the prior message iswhat is returned. This doesn't seem to be working correctly, or if itis, I have no idea where any error messages are being returned.Anyone have any ideas?

May 15, 2008Hi,
I've previously raised a thread about an index corruption issue we are getting on an infrequent basis. We are running SQL 2000 SP4, patched up with latest hotfixes on a cluster.
Yesterday, we experienced the corruption again. In the past, running DBCC DBREINDEX on the corrupted index has fixed the problem.
However, this time, even though DBCC DBREINDEX reported that it completed successfully, the corruption remained (proved by running DBCC CHECKTABLE on the index).
First question:
We created an identical index, with a different name, using the CREATE INDEX command, but this was created with the same corruption. Does SQL Server try and be clever and say "this index is the same as another, so I'll just copy that one instead of creating a new one" ? This is what would appear to be the case.
We then dropped the index and then recreated it. This time the index was fine.
Second question:
My understanding of DBCC DBREINDEX is that it drops and recreates the index. As manually dropping and recreating the index worked but DBCC DBREINDEX didn't I can only assume that this isn't the case. So what does it do?
This then begs a third question that, as I've been 'fixing' the issue in the past by running DBCC DBREINDEX, is it possible that it fixes it enough for DBCC CHECKTABLE to think it's been fixed, but deep down the problem has remained which is why the index has continued to corrupt a few weeks down the line?
If anyone can help answer these questions that would be really useful.
Thanks.
DBCC DBREINDEX Running Out Of Room
May 16, 2000I am trying to reindex a large table, and cannot because there isn't enough room on the the primary filegroup. the database consistes of one physical file in the primary filegroup. the table is over 50% of the size of the database. When the table is less than 50% of the size of the database, I do not see this problem.
BTW, the only index on the table is the primary key which consists of two columns, one is an integer and the other datetime.
It seems as if SQL server needs 1x the current size of the table to be free in order to reindex? Is this the case?
It is not an option for me to allow the database to autogrow. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks for your help!

DBCC DBREINDEX - Unexpected Results
Jul 28, 2004I have lost the reference but I read somewhere that when running DBCC DBREINDEX against a clustered index, all the secondary indexes on the table are automatically re-indexed as well. I did a test of this on a small table and it seemed to confirm this. However, now I've put this into practice, I am finding that it doesn't seem to work this way. I noticed that having run DBCC DBREINDEX against a table's clustered index (DBCC DBREINDEX ('tablename', 'clusteredIndexName', fill_factor)), the secondary indexes were not automatically re-indexed - as born out by the fact that they remained badly fragmented.
First of all, do the dba's who read this beleive it is correct that DBCC DBREINDEX run against a clustered index will automatically rebuild the secondary indexes too? If so, why wouldn't it work in all cases?

DBCC DBREINDEX Unexpected Results
Aug 9, 2004Normally, after I use DBCC DBREINDEX, I can be sure that Scan Density on a clustered or non-clustered index is very good - eg. 99% or 100%. However, I have one database where there are a number of indexes that are not showing any improvement in Scan Density after running DBCC DBREINDEX. In on case, a clustered index, I run it on two days in succession and Scan Density actually go worse! Can anyone give me a reason for this? Can anyone suggest how to fix it?

DBCC DBREINDEX Fails For Table
Aug 7, 2006Hi,
I am facing a rather peculiar issue where I am getting a floating point exception error while rebuilding index for a particular table.
--------
Error Number : 3628

------------
This seems to be a rare issue ( as acknowledged by microsoft ) and they seem to suggest that it happens with SQL Server 2000 SP3 . I migrated my database into an SQL Server 2000 SP4 and started the rebuild again .. .. But it still failed with the same error ..
Am just hoping the microsoft guys are wrong and many of you have actually faced this stuff before.. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

Dbreindex Vs Index Defrag Question
Mar 9, 2007Does anyone know if dbreindex and index defrag ideally perform the same function? I have been told that index defrag does not hold locks on a table when executed and dbreindex does. Other than this is there any difference between the two functions? My understanding was that dbreindex reindexes the data stored in a table for faster reads and index defrag removes purged data. Am I correct? I am currently running both functions on my SQL server and was advised that I really only need to run the index defrag job. Is this advise correct?
