Can anyone advise on issues arising from a complete format & rebuild of a SQL server. The machine exists in a small domain and contains 1 small 30 MB production database which I would want to back up and restore to the newly built server. What are the issues with maintaining permissions? etc.
View 2 RepliesI 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),

I had to reinstall sql 6.5 on my server. However I am not sure of the correct sequence to resetup my databases. I have all of my original database devices and backups. However when reinstalling I no longer see the database devices or databases( excepected). How do I recreate my database devices using the devices that I have on an existing device. I need sql to recognize these devices then I can recreate my databases and do my restores. Please help!
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 All,
Is there any way to calculate how big the transaction log will grow during the rebuilding of the indexes?
Thanks.
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,

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'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?

Hi all
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,

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?
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

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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am performing a Rebiuld of the Master database using the REBUILDM utility on a SQL 2000 SP3 database which is clustered.
The utility starts off correclty, copying the correct MDF and LDF files to the hard drive, and the configuration bar goes across the screen 4 times, before giving the following error "Rebuild master failed with error -1".
I can't find anything on microsoft. I followed KB-298568 to perform this process, but the SQL Service will now not start as it cannot find the master, as it did not get rebuilt properly.
I have included screen shots of the error, in the zipped up word doc.
I did Index defragmentation a week ago . for 1 database only , In the middle of rebuild I kill the process twice cause It takes more than 1 hour so I killed it and wonder how many high level fragmented indexes left ...

I've been in support for over ten years, but have had minimal exposure to SQL. I have a client who is running SQL 2005 (as part of SBS Premium), who experienced a server crash due to the database "administrator" filling up the C: drive with manual SQL backups.
Anyway, if I go into SQL Management Studio and try to pull up properties of any database I get a "cannot show requested dialog" error. The only other issue that I've found is that a maintenance plan doesn't quite work correctly -- It will backup their database, but not delete old copies off the hard drive. Otherwise, SQL seems to be running okay.
I have come to the conclusion that I probably need to rebuild the master database. I have tried restoring the master database from a version prior to the crash, but I still have the same issue. I believe the rebuild should be fairly easy, but just don't have a full understanding of what it will affect. They have one custom application that uses a single SQL database and very little security customization (the custom application uses one Windows AD account to access the database).
Basically, I'm wondering:
1. Can someone summarize what is contained in the master database
2. I assume that I'm looking at downtime on their custom application/database - Would this be correct?
3. Will this affect their database at all?
4. How long does the database rebuild process take?
5. I understand that in SQL 2005, the rebuild process it part of the setup on the CD. If the problem is with SQL application files themselves, will this process restore any corrupt program files?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Vishnu

Hi,
After issuing an index rebuild on a primary key index (and updating statistics), the index still shows a scan density of 12.5%!
Any ideas on why the rebuild doesn't seem to do anything on the fragmentation levels?
I'm using sql 2005
Thanx
All,
My employer is concerned that the Rebuild/Reorganize indexes will slow down the server,will take more time and our online application users will experience slow responses. And they don't want to do off line defrag either.
So I am going to suggest to spread out the Rebuild/Reorganize indexes in such a way that rebuild/reorganize is done in small chunks rather than doing it all at once.
What do you guys think of this approach?
Thanks,
Does "Alter Index All Rebuild" rebuild just the tree level of the index? Or does it also rebuild the leaf level like reorganize?
Thanks and God Bless,
Thomas
