I have a table with primary key and also clustered index on that primary key column. I need almost all columns from that table. When I wrote the select column names, it showing that Index scan occurred. How can I avoid that Index scan and change to index seek? When I check the fragmentation of that Index it is showing more than 34%. Is that fragmentation is ok or do I need to reorg the Index?
Getting this error when running a maintenance plan step. The backup steps work fine.

Recently upgraded SQL Server 2005 x64 to SP2 and upto Build 3159. Since then the Maintenance Plan for Index Reorgs has failed with a System.OutOfMemoryException error. No other errors are logged anywhere. The plan report file has no information either.
I am using Full Text Index to index emails stored in BLOB column in a table. Index process parses stored emails, and, if there is one or more files attached to the email these documents get indexed too. In result when I'm querying the full text index for a word or phrase I am getting reference to the email containing the word of phrase if interest if the word was used in the email body OR if it was used in any document attached to the email.
How to distinguish in a Full Text query that the result came from an embedded document rather than from "main" document? Or if that's not possible how to disable indexing of embedded documents?
My goal is either to give a user an option if he or she wants to search emails (email bodies only) OR emails AND documents attached to them, or at least clearly indicate in the returned result the real source where the word or phrase has been found.
I have a clustered index that consists of 3 int columns in this order: DateKey, LocationKey, ItemKey (there are many other columns in this data warehouse table such as quantities, prices, etc.).
Now I want to add a non-clustered index on just one of the other columns, say LocationKey, like this: CREATE INDEX IX_test on TableName (LocationKey)
I understand that the clustered index keys will also be added as key columns to any NC indexes. So, in this case the NC index will also get the other two columns from the clustered index added as key columns. But, in what order will they be added?
Will the resulting index keys on this new NC index effectively be:
LocationKey, DateKey, ItemKey OR LocationKey, ItemKey, DateKey
Do the clustering keys get added to a NC index in the same order as they are defined in the clustered index?
When dbcc dbreindex is issued, data is re-organized and my db size reduces. Doing dbcc shrinkfile with notruncate also does data re-org. If I am doing dbcc dbreindex, do I need to do shrinkfile then so long as data pages re-org is concerned ?
I have an issue with fragmentation SQl server 2012 .I monitored indexes using sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats. fragmented % is still remain after re-organized the index.
Does anyone know what the commands would be? I am trying to create a job that puts a DB in simple mode then launches a reorg and re-index, then sets it back to full when it is complete. This way I can eliminate large transaction logs being created.
how to fragment an index so I can test it's fragmented performance on an iSCSI LUN.I can test without an index, that's fine. I can test with a newly created index (of course that means it's not fragmented) and that's fine.But what I want to do is DELIBERATELY FRAGMENT () an index to 90%+ fragmented to test it's performance.
I want to know more details about the Clustered Index Delete. Is that Clustered Index Delete in the execution plan is good or bad or we can neglect that cost. Is there any way to avoid that clustered Index delete operator from the execution plan.
When creating a column store index, are there any reasons not to include all columns, besides index size of course? i.e. will the index be more versatile with more columns or should I treat it exactly like its a standard index, putting only necessary columns, in the correct order?
When I go to SQL 2012 through SSMS 2005, I get the message Index outside the bounds of array. Will it fix if I install SSMS 2012? Do I need to remove SSMS 2005?
- What are your thoughts on adding clustered index on datetime (createdDate , native GUID) column. The data will be be physically organized in the clustered index allowing range operations to perform its duties. But will the GUID column make any impact ( drawbacks) should it be made part of the clustered key ?
The GUID column will provide the lookup with the required indexes to support.
We have a large table with many columns and many indexes. One poorly performing query is having to do a key lookup when the where clause includes a particular column with no covering index.
Are you generally better off adding a new index or adding the column to an existing index ( included columns )Column: LAST_STATE_RESPONSE_CODE
The Query Processor estimates that implementing the following index could improve the query cost by 88.9332%.
*/ /* USE [ database name] GO CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>] ON [dbo].[SERVICE_REQUEST] ([BUSINESS_PROCESS_STATUS],[[color=#F00]LAST_STATE_RESPONSE_CODE[size="3"][/size][/color]],[CONCRETE_TYPE]) INCLUDE ([LIENHOLDER_PERFORMING_LIEN_FILING_ID],[MAKE],[YEAR],[MANUFACTURER_ID],[CLIENT_ID]) GO
I was reading this blog below about Indexed Views and needed some clarification.
When the author choose to create the unique clustered index he excluded the PER.BusinessEntityID columns and only included, (CustomerID, SalesOrderID, ProductID).
Why didn't the PER.BusinessEntityID get added?
[URL] ....
CREATE VIEW Sales.vSalesSummaryCustomerProduct WITH SCHEMABINDING AS SELECT CUST.CustomerID , SOH.SalesOrderID , SOD.ProductID , SUM(SOD.OrderQty) AS TotalOrderQty ,
I created a NC index as suggested by missing index DMV(of course I don't create them blindly). This one seemed to be a useful index but I now see from index usage stats that it only got scanned 50 times in 4 days.No seeks, no lookups. So is it a good idea keeping such index.The table on which this index is created is used more for reads and less for writes.
I need to find all the index and the creation date. I did cross apply of sys.objects & Sys.indexes on name column. I am getting some but the team is saying they created so many. Any other option to find Indexes and their creation date?
I am trying to tune a process that is running slowly. I analyzed the process using the Database Engine Tuning Advisor, and it recommended the creation of 3 indexes, all non-clustered:
1) ColA, include ColB 2) ColA, include ColC 3) ColA, include ColD
So... I created a single non-clustered index on:
4) ColA, include ColB, ColC, ColD
That should do the same thing, right? A look at my execution plan shows that the index I created is being scanned -- 3 times. What is puzzling me, though, is that the Database Engine Tuning Advisor is still recommending I create these 3 separate indexes, even with the index (4) that I created in existence.
If it matters, ColA, ColB, ColC and ColD are all int FKs.
I am using Ola Hallengrens scripts for index and stats maintenance but I am wondering what most people to in terms of the maintenance schedules. At present we do an index rebuild reorg weekly, but do people also do update stats nightly?
I suppose there is an element of "it depends" here in that the data may be fairly static so the update stats may not be required, or if heavily updated then perhaps rebuilding indexes may be required more frequently.
Currently underway with migrating from SQL 2005 to SQL2012. I have loaded all of my SSRS reports into Visual Studio 2010 (SQL Server Data Tools) and they all appeared to upgrade fine. I have 150+ reports and I'm in the middle of recreating a tonne of Subscriptions.
However, I have 4 reports that run fine, execute nicely.... but as soon as I click on 'Subscriptions' I get the index bounds array error.
I could attempt to re-create them. It's only 4 reports after all. But it doesn't answer the question, why would the reports execute fine, but unable to create a subscription?
I have a query which is primarily a victim of blocking and a blocker itself for other queries. I studied the plan for this and it shows a 42% cost on CI insert operation. The insert is happening on a table (Table A) that has a PK. This PK is not a running number. It is also a business key (primary key) in another master table (Table B).
My understanding is that the cost is heavy because -
1, this PK is not an incremental number. It could be any number not in a sequence. 2. while inserting into CI, there must be a scan happening to find out the location where the index will be inserted.
How can I reduce the cost?
1. Should I go for partitioning of this table Table A? I am trying to do this but I am not able to find any suitable partition key looking at the JOINS and filter clauses where this table is being used in the applicaiton. 2. Should I introduce a surrogate key (running number) as a primary key so that CI is faster ?
