I am upgrading from SQL2000 to SQL2005.
I have restored my 2000 db to 2005.
I have changed the Compatiblilty level to 90.
Now I need to reindex.
How do I reindex all the tables at once?
Thanks for ALL your help

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] ....
Hi All,
SQL 7 REQUIRES THE DBA TO MANAGE THE INDEXES AND IN PARTICULAR THE FILL FACTOR AVAILABILITY. DOES SQL SERVER 2000 AUTOMATICALLY ADDRESS THIS OR DO WE STILL HAVE TO PERIODICALLY RUN,
sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?')"
TO REBUILD ALL INDEXES IN THE DATABASE?
Thanks in advance,

Hi!
I'm not a dba at all, just a simple developer but I have got the assignment to help out with performance problems on a db.
I noticed that almost all indexes are fragmented 75-99%. Can I rebuild them when the database is in use? Can I reorganize indexes when the db is used?

Jesus saves. But Gretzky slaps in the rebound.
In the maintance plans there is a Rebuild Index choice.
If u choose tables and views the plan executes
ALTER INDEX <index> ON <table> ;REBUILD
for all indexes in the datebase.
I am currently using this plan on our production DB, scheduled for every Saturday night.
I wonder if there is a downside of using maintance plans. Because it seems to be doing the job. Any comments?
how can run a command to rebuild all indexes in a database?
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?
We have a script running everyday for rebuild and re-organisation of indexes. But, somehow its getting failed. Attached script for your consideration. There is no database name with amoperations. There is table called DatabaseObjectAudit but it exist on master db.

I have a number of databases that are being transactionally replicated from SQL 2000 Enterprise edition publisher to SQL 2005 Enterprise edition subscriber. I have included indexes in the replication. The subscriber database is then accessed and the data de-normalised and aggregated for reporting purposes.
My question is this: I want to periodically re-build the indexes on the publisher and subscriber via an automated task. If I rebuild the indexes on the publisher, will that automatically replicate to the subscriber? Will there be a problem with the "snapshot being out of date", and therefore replication stopping? I run a new snapshot once a day in the small hours of the morning. If there is likely to be a problem with the rebuild throwing the replication out, would it be wise to have the rebuild job running just before the new snapshot is taken?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Hi All.
Our inhouse app used to run on a SQL2000, but we've recently moved it to 2005.
The move was done by way of backup and restore (it was on a whole new server).
After the move, an odd problem showed up: once in a while, the server seems incapable of finding/using its indexes: everything starts working slowly, until I run a maintenance plan that rebuilds its indexes etc.
In the database/server all relevant options seem to be ok (auto update statictiscs etc.), and my conclusion that it doesn't use its indexes comes from the fact that:
* it gives the results from certain select statements in a totally different order (although the set of rows is the same),
* performance is (all of a sudden) very slow (seconds turning to minutes!!)
This happens:
* at least after a reboot of the server
* sometimes just in the middle of the day
The only way I've found to solve the matter, is by running the maintenance plan to rebuild the indexes, but sometimes this only seems to work the second time.
Does anybody share this experience, or know what to do about it?
Thanks,
Nick.
We are planning to standardize our newly deployed sql server, As a part of it we have configured 2 maintenance plans 1) Update Statistics which runs daily and 2) Index Reorganize which runs on weekly.
Apart from above, any other things to be in place for better maintenance of the sql server.
Also, how to Index Rebuild activity for clustered indexes requires any downtime.
Hi,
I have a script to rebuild and reorganize indexes for sybase i.e reorg rebuild index... like command i have. Now i want similar command for MSSQLSqlserver.plz help me.
Do I need to rebuild my indexes on my High Availability listeners?
When I do a full index rebuild on my primary DB's. Does rebuilding also send the rebuild to the listener(s)?
I am using SQL Server 2008 (RTM) Standard Edition.
In my environment, one of my Database size is 75 gb and I have to create a plan for index rebuild using maintenance plan.But when we rebuild indexes, it requires some space on data and log files of database.how can we calculate disk space requirement for index rebuild process ?
We have a maintenance plan running everyday for rebuild and re-organisation of indexes. But, somehow its getting failed. Here is the script that we are running for rebuild or re-org.
/*
Script to handle index maintenance
Tuning constants are set in-line current values are;
SET @MinFragmentation
SET @MaxFragmentation
SET @TrivialPageCount
[code]....
If I rebuild some indexes that are above 30% of average fragmentation, should I after that update statistics?
Also, How can I see if I Need to update statistics^on the tables of my database?
Normally we use rebuild, reorganize indexes when it is required, I used a SQL job using maintenance plan to run daily and rebuild, reorganize indexes and update statistics but I do not know if it runs either they are required or not. Should this plan automatically execute the build upon required indexes to be rebuild or it fires either they are required to be executed or not.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?
What is the difference please?

View 1 Replies View RelatedDear all,
I have a SQL Server 7 box that is shortly to be rebuilt completely (still on NT4, but with new RAID system), does anyone have any advice on how I can make the transition as painless as possible? Particularly, I want to maintain the backup, security and DTS structures as much as possible.
Thanks in advance

Running SQL 7.0 SP3 on P3 dual 800.
I rebuild indexes every night as part of the maintenance plan. Usually it takes about 1 hr 10 minutes on a 15 G db, last night it took 9 hrs.
I have no idea why it would take so long. Nothing changed, there were no new indexes created and none deleted.
Any ideas? I have to find out why. My boss wants an answer.
Thanks in advance.

hi, what are the reasons for rebuilding master database and what are the steps to complete this task
Thanks

Hi All,
Is there any way to calculate how big the transaction log will grow during the rebuilding of the indexes?
Thanks.
I run dbcc dbreindex command and send the output to the text file. Is there any other way to check that indexes were in fact rebuild?

I understand the difference between REBUILD and REORGANIZE. Just wondering if you can do both in the same script or do you have to rebuild the index first and later reorganize?
Thanks,

will maintenance tasks like rebuilding and reorganizing indexes be replicated in transactional replication, or do i have to setup these management tasks on the subscribers as well?

I have a table with over 60 million rows (approx 20GB) which has an indexed column. I have tried using DBC DBReindex to rebuild the index, but after kicking it off on a friday, it is still running the following wednesday. Since managers and other finicky types access this database, that's not acceptable (it slows down their reporting).
Is there a way to speed up the reindexing process? Perhaps by adding space to the tempdb (it's 500MB) or putting it in RAM temporarily? I haven't seen any articles that specifically state that TEMPDB is used during an index rebuild, but it seems logical that it would be.
Any suggestions to speed up the process would be most appreciated!
I frequently have tables that I want to empty and refill. I thought I read somewhere that trucating was a bad idea, example:
Truncate table tblFruits
A bad idea because of something to do with the log? I'm a beginner so I don't understand transaction processing very well, or logs.
Is it better to delete the table and rebuild it in code before you add the values?
If the index to be rebuilt is a clustered index, will all non-clustered indexes be rebuilt also by rebuilding only the clustered index.
