I am not able to to drop few file groups that has been created to add partition range.
Steps taken so far:
--Empty files started
DBCC ShrinkFile(YEAR2015_FG,EmptyFile);
GO
--Removing files
Alter DATABASE ETL_MART REMOVE FILEGROUP YEAR2015_FG;
GO
-- Remove parition scheme depednecy
[code]...
Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.
I have created the file group for my database.First i took backup of individual file group(mdf and ndf) then I tried to restore only secondary(ndf) file group.I got error like
Restore failed for Server 'pcnameSQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
File 'regSQL_dat' was not backed up in file 1 on device 'D:vtndf.bak'. The file cannot be restored from this backup set.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3144)
When i tried to restore only primary file group i got the same error.
Can i restore individual file group? I
For the purpose of data archiveng,i have taken back up of ndf file (it contains very old data) & i have removed this file from database.Now my customer asking these file data.Now i have to again attach/restore this ndf file.how to attach/restore.
Recently maintenance was done removing some tables from the original filegroup in one drive of our SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition 64bits to another created on a separate physical drive. I was expecting the full amount of data moved to the secondary filegroup to show up as unused on the primary filegroup but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I have to do anything after the move to release that space, not to disk, but to the database as unused?

we have some report running from partition table, few reports don't have any partition Key and after creating 400 partition with 400 file group it is slow.what is best practices to crate 400 file group or single file group.
I'd like to ask how you would get the OUTPUT below from the TABLE below:
TABLE:
id category
1 A
2 C
3 A
4 A
5 B
6 C
7 B
OUTPUT:
category count id's
A 3 1,3,4
B 2 5,7
C 2 2,6
The code would go something like:
Select category, count(*), .... as id's
from TABLE
group by category
I just need to find that .... part.
I'm having a fight with Reporting Services at the minute when trying to compute an average at the row group level for a value summed in a column group.I have the following column groups:
Year
Month
Date
And the following row groups:
Region
Product
SubType (hidden, data at the date level is summed to Product)
At the moment I'm computing the average for SubType for each Date at the Product level (giving a decimal value), so for each day I end up with a nice average, that works. However I am unable to average that average over the whole Year for a Product. The issue being that I'm trying to combine Row Groups (Product) and Column Groups (Date/Year)
select top 15 count(*) as cnt, state from table
group by state
order by cnt desc
[code[...
Can the above three queries be combined into one and still be fast, if so how?What i am trying to go is an item count, by group, similar to ones Inbox in Outlook.
When I drop a table should I also drop it's FK ? or they keys are removed with the table?

The error message is "cannot drop the table because it is being used for replication"
my sql version is in sql server 2012 and Im ussing merge replication.
I want to drop only one table.
I am looking for standard sql code for below 2 concern.
1- I want to drop the column Rowchecksum to all the table where table name start with ArchiveBbx
2-I want to update all the table where table name start with ArchiveBbx
example:-
Update table Archivebbxfbcc
set Rowchecksum=HASHBYTES('MD5', CAST(CHECKSUM(Col001, Col002, Col003, Col004) AS varchar(max)))
I have a VIEW which is dynamically generated through complex dynamic SQL. Unfortunately the dynamic SQL uses "Select * from table" to select the columns because the programmer did that to reduce the amount of code in the dynamic SQL string as the code can't be debugged if it's too long.
Therefore, I have a VIEW with columns in it I don't need, and want to remove them from the view - I need to remove all columns with column names matching the syntax '%1%_2' .
The view is called TEMP_EXPORT_1
I can either use the code below to return a list of columns that I want removed:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name like '%1%_2'
Or I can use the code below to return the list of columns that I want to keep:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2'
Now how would I go about altering TEMP_EXPORT_1 view so that it no longer has these columns? I know views don't have a drop statement...
Therefore I tried the following but I'm not sure of the syntax:
ALTER VIEW dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
AS
SELECT (select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2')
FROM dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
Am I on the right track? how can I ALTER this view to remove these columns? ... I want to keep this separate from the code that generated the view as I want it as an optional procedure that can be run if needed.
My question: Is it okay to drop all the auto generated column statistics? (for the following scenario)
- I am cleaning up unnecessary objects (tables, unused indexes, overlapping statistics etc) from databases and found out there are more than 1400 auto generated column statistics on one database (lets call it A).
- Database A was used to be our reporting database but from last several years we are using database B for reporting. DB A has all the historical data while DB B only has valid records.
- We are updating all the column statistics with full scan nightly on database A and it is talking almost 2.5 hours to do that. Now I want to drop all the "unnecessary" statistics those were created when DB A was reporting database and they are no longer in use. There is no way to know the creation date of the column statistics that I know of. Statistics "last update date" is of no use because of our nightly job. So I was thinking of dropping all the auto generated column statistics and let the sql server create as it needs from now.
How to grant DROP table permission within a database to an SQL login. I could see in Databae properties-> permission tab, there is an option to grant CREATE TABLE, EXECUTE permission etc, but not DROP table permission. How to grant it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat is the impact on the users to drop an index on a table while in use? I will recreate the index afterwards. The table is used constantly by a three of processes/users at all times.
View 3 Replies View RelatedA heavily-selected database will be in an inconsistent state for several hours during a batch process. For that time, a database snapshot is created and accessed instead. To allow constant client read access to the database, a database that only contains synonyms exists. Those synonyms point to the main database except during the batch process, at which time they point to the database snapshot.
To switch the synonyms, each synonym is dropped and then created pointing to the database snapshot (after its creation, of course). The drop/create occurs inside a transaction. Roughly, the SQL looks like this:
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
DROP SYNONYM [dbo].[some_proc];
CREATE SYNONYM [dbo].[some_proc] FOR [snapshot_db].[dbo].[some_proc];
GRANT EXECUTE, SELECT ON [dbo].[some_proc] TO public;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
When the batch update is completed, the process is reversed with "snapshot_db" replaced with "regular_db". The SQL snippet above is dynamic SQL. What I've pasted is the dynamic SQL that is executed as a single batch.
While this switch is happening, clients are accessing the procedures through the synonyms, potentially at a high request rate. Testing reveals that clients can get the error:
Error=-2147217900, Id=0, Meaning=IDispatch error #3092,
Source=Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers,
Description=[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.some_proc'.
This error only occurs once. If the same SPID retries its request and the transaction has not completed (for testing, a delay was added), then it blocks until the transaction completes.
Any way to prevent it besides a client-side retry?
Since a couple days, we are getting this message the errorlog of one of our SQL2012 server
LogEntry: Error [36, 17, 145] occurred while attempting to drop allocation unit ID 451879652360192 belonging to worktable with partition ID 451879652360192.
(version Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5058.0 (X64))
I am wondering what is the best way trying to troubleshoot this issues? I do not know from which of out database this is coming.
I have 2 stored procedure, insert and update.
They both drop and use a static table, this will be changed for production to use a temp table. there is a slight difference in how the create the table and when it comes to executing them if the other has been run first it errors because of the column definition or names.
Now as I said I will change these to use a temp table rather than a static staging table for production but as one of the first parts of my proc uses the IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.tab', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.Tab;
Then I would expect the table difference to not matter as the table is being dropped...
I have a temptable with a list of user IDs that I want to drop so I created a script to do a cursor and run through my drop functions.

DECLARE @ver nvarchar(128);
DECLARE @UserName nvarchar(50);

Hello,Using Enterprise Manager, I deleted from my database the only tablethat contained records (Right-Click on Table, Choose "Delete Table").My expectation was that the LARGE .mdf file would be reduced to minimalsize (at least as small as the Northwind MDF). However, it's still 4+Gig in size!! (Northwind is 2.62 MB). This is a problem, bc I deletedthe table in order to recapture hard drive space.NOTE: I already tried using Shrink Database in EM. This significantlyreduced the size of the .mdf file from its original (i.e. pre-delete)size of 38 Gig to present size of 4 Gig.What can I do to further reduce the size of the MDF file?Thank you.

I am trying to install the MS SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2012 . I successfully Installed the Failover cluster instance on my primary node.
But when I am running the installation process on passive node to add node in the failover cluster I am stuck with very unique kind of issue.
I am following the Standard process of Installation and I am getting the same windows for each next process, but after License Agreement window when I get the Cluster Node Configuration window, then in "SQL Server Instance Name" drop down box I am not getting the Name of Instance which is already installed on the primary node. But this Instance complete information is appearing in below given box.
Only issue is Instance name is not appearing in the drop down list, that's why I am not able to select and when I click on next it trough error and do not proceed.
