SQL Server 2008 :: Changing The Clustered Index?

Feb 27, 2015

After reading some comments here I decided to look at tables to see if any had a clustered index that was a unique identifier. Yep. So if I have a table with a unique identifier as the primary key/clustered index and an identity column that is indexed, I would like to make the identity a clustered index (maybe even the primary key) and make the unique identifier a unique non-clustered index (not the primary key).

Does this sound reasonable?If I do this will I need to drop and recreate the other indexes? Or maybe just rebuild the other indexes?

Currently:

CREATE TABLE Payments (
IDX INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL DEFAULT(NEWID()),
.....

-- many other columns

);
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_PAYMENTS_GID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([GUID] ASC);
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Payments_ID] ON [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ([IDX] ASC);
GO

Would like:

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PAYMENTS] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_PAYMENTS_IDX] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (IDX ASC);
GO
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Payments_GUID] ON [dbo].[PAYMENTS] (GUID ASC);
GO

Estimate Log Space For Alter Table Statement

Jan 31, 2007

My client's website database is hosted by a third party. I need to alter one of the column definitions for the largest table in the database. Unfortunately, the transaction log fills up if I try to alter the table. I've done all the usual stuff like truncating the log, etc., but the simple fact is that the operation requires more log space than we have available. Therefore, we need to purchase additional disk space for the database.
What I'm looking for is a way to roughly estimate how much log space will be required to alter this table so that we purchase enough but not too much additional space. The table has an identity primary key and 4 other single column indexes: one int, one datetime and two varchar(30) columns.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2008 :: Put Clustered Index On 8 Column Natural Key Or On Identity Key

Aug 2, 2015

I am extremely new to database design, and I ran into a problem that I know comes up often, however has many opinions...

Basically I have a table that is going to have 50+ columns. The natural key on this table is actually 8 columns wide, 4 of them being Varchar columns by default. (varchar(50)'s).

I have added an identity column, (1,1) to the table, however I put the clustered index on the 8 natural keys... My plan is to rebuild the clustered index once nightly when the system isn't in use (after 7 pm).

I know others would say it would be better to have the clustered key on the 1,1 column and then add indexes on the other 8 fields... However I don't quite understand why honestly...

Every single query against this table will use the 8 columns, and will NOT use the Identity column (1,1) because they are calls from other systems that do not know the Identity column....

Therefore if your database is set up for query speed, and every single query has to have a value for 8 columns to get a valid result, does it make sense to put a clustered index over the 8 columns?

If not why? Why is putting a clustered index on an identity column (that will literally never be used in a query) a better solution?

SQL Server 2008 :: How To Delete Or Drop Index To Free Up Space

May 31, 2015

I am new to mssql server. There is a table on one of my databases that occupies a lot of space. And the space usage is as follows: (all values in KB)

reserved: 42329064
data: 16272288
index: 26050032
unused: 6744

This table takes up almost 80% of my database size, and the information is this table just captures the time spent by a user on the website(not very critical data)

I would like to know how to delete the entire index (which is what is occupying most space) to free up disk space. the index is a clustered index.

DB Design :: Script To Create Table With Primary Key Non-clustered And Clustered Index

Aug 28, 2015

I desire to have a clustered index on a column other than the Primary Key. I have a few junction tables that I may want to alter, create table, or ...

I have practiced with an example table that is not really a junction table. It is just a table I decided to use for practice. When I execute the script, it seems to do everything I expect. For instance, there are not any constraints but there are indexes. The PK is the correct column.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblNotificationMgr](
[NotificationMgrKey] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ContactKey] [int] NOT NULL,
[EventTypeEnum] [tinyint] NOT NULL,

Simple Query Chooses Clustered Index Scan Instead Of Clustered Index Seek

Nov 14, 2006

the query:

SELECT a.AssetGuid, a.Name, a.LocationGuid
FROM Asset a WHERE a.AssociationGuid IN (
SELECT ada.DataAssociationGuid FROM AssociationDataAssociation ada
WHERE ada.AssociationGuid = '568B40AD-5133-4237-9F3C-F8EA9D472662')

takes 30-60 seconds to run on my machine, due to a clustered index scan on our an index on asset [about half a million rows].  For this particular association less than 50 rows are returned. 

expanding the inner select into a list of guids the query runs instantly:

SELECT a.AssetGuid, a.Name, a.LocationGuid
FROM Asset a WHERE a.AssociationGuid IN (
'0F9C1654-9FAC-45FC-9997-5EBDAD21A4B4',
'52C616C0-C4C5-45F4-B691-7FA83462CA34',
'C95A6669-D6D1-460A-BC2F-C0F6756A234D')

It runs instantly because of doing a clustered index seek [on the same index as the previous query] instead of a scan.  The index in question IX_Asset_AssociationGuid is a nonclustered index on Asset.AssociationGuid.

The tables involved:

Asset, represents an asset.  Primary key is AssetGuid, there is an index/FK on Asset.AssociationGuid.  The asset table has 28 columns or so...
Association, kind of like a place, associations exist in a tree where one association can contain any number of child associations.  Each association has a ParentAssociationGuid pointing to its parent.  Only leaf associations contain assets. 
AssociationDataAssociation, a table consisting of two columns, AssociationGuid, DataAssociationGuid.  This is a table used to quickly find leaf associations [DataAssociationGuid] beneath a particular association [AssociationGuid].  In the above case the inner select () returns 3 rows. 

I'd include .sqlplan files or screenshots, but I don't see a way to attach them. 

I understand I can specify to use the index manually [and this also runs instantly], but for such a simple query it is peculiar it is necesscary.  This is the query with the index specified manually:

SELECT a.AssetGuid, a.Name, a.LocationGuid
FROM Asset a WITH (INDEX (IX_Asset_AssociationGuid)) WHERE
a.AssociationGuid IN (
SELECT ada.DataAssociationGuid FROM AssociationDataAssociation ada
WHERE ada.AssociationGuid = '568B40AD-5133-4237-9F3C-F8EA9D472662')

To repeat/clarify my question, why might this not be doing a clustered index seek with the first query?

SQL Server 2008 :: Logic To Rebuild Only Clustered Indexes / Skipping To Rebuild Non Clustered Indexes In Same Table

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,

Advantages Of Using Nonclustered Index After Using Clustered Index On One Table

Jul 3, 2006

Hi everyone,
When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered ??
In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it ??

Thanks

SQL Server 2008 :: Estimate / Calculate Performance Overhead From Replication?

Jun 10, 2015

I've been asked to put together an estimation for the performance impact that replication would have on our database server during a particular operation. I know that this depends on a lot of different factors, including:

* Number of articles being replicated
* Types of articles being replicated
* Number of DML transactions that would result in delivery of replicated data

Any way to turn this into a meaningful metric?

SQL Server 2008 :: Deleting Data (rows) From Table To Reclaim Space?

I have a table 300+GB. it holds 10 years of Data. I need to delete 5 years of data and put it to another server so I can have more space.

If I delete 5 years of data, Transaction log gets so huge and size of the database even gets bigger because of the .ldf file which even gets bigger! I think I can shrink the log file and the data file. Is this the best way to do it?

Clustered Index On A VERY Big Table

Oct 28, 2006

I already posted this over on sqlteam so don't peek there if you haven't seen that post yet. :)

So now to the question:

Anyone care to guess how long it took me to build a clustered index on a table with 900 million rows? This is the largest amount of data in a single table I have had to work with thus far in my career! It's sorta fun to work with such large datasets. :)

Some details:

1. running sql 2005 on a dual proc 32bit server, 8gb ram, hyperthreaded, 3ghz clock. disk is a decent SAN, not sure of the specs though.

2. ddl for table:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[fld](
[id] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[id2] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
[extid] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[dd] [bit] NOT NULL,
[mp] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
[ss] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
[cc] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[ff] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
[mm] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[ds] [smallint] NOT NULL
)

3. ddl for index (this is the only index on the table):


CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [CIfld]
ON [dbo].[fld]
(
extid asc
)WITH (FILLFACTOR=100, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF)


4. extid column was not sorted to begin with. ordering was completely random.

Note that I have changed the column names, etc, to protect the innocent. I can't go into details about what it's for or I'd be violating NDA type stuff.

Trying To Load Table With Clustered Index

Mar 22, 2001

We are trying to load flat text files with upwards of 7 million records into a table on SQL. The table has a clustered index on 3 fields. We setup the indexes prior to importing the data. We are sometimes able to complete smaller tables (500,000-750,000 records), however when we try the larger tables an error occurs :

Error at Destination for row number 6785496. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1

Location: somerge.c:1573
Expression: mrP->mrStatus!=MERGERUN::NONE
SPID: 11
Process ID: 173

The destination row number is the same number as the total number of rows that we are trying to load.

None of the recods end up importing. The row number it gives is always the total number of records that was in the text file I was trying to import. I tried to import the text files first and then build the clustered indexes but a table with only 300,000 records ran for nearly 4 days without completing before we killed it.
Be for we try to load the file we always delete whatever is there. Some of the files that we try to load are new and we have to set up the indexes from scratch.
We are using a DTS wizard. Someone told me to find a way to get it to commit every 1000 or so but I can't find a way to do it. I looked and looked but can't find it !!!


Please help me on where to look......:(


Thanks,
Cheri

but today suddenly i create another clustered index on a table without any Error from SQl server !!!
BUT my query Order changed to the order of this newly created index.
could anyone elaborate on this issue?

Table Order In Clustered Index?

Feb 29, 2008

I have a table "Client" that has two columns: "ClientID" and "ProductID". I created on clustered index on ClientID and when I opened the table in the management studio, I saw the table was in the order of ClientID.

Then I added another non-clustered index on ProductID. When I open the table again, it is in the order of ProductID. Shouldn't the table always be in the order of clustered index? Non-clustered index should be a structure outside of the table itself? Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks for any hint.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Non-clustered Index On Temp Table?

Nov 2, 2010

I am trying to create a temp table with a non-clustered index.

Originally I tried to create the index after I created the table.

This seemed to work fine, so I added my stored procedure to our Production environment.

However, when two users called the stored procedure at once I got the following error:

There is already an object named 'IX_tmpTableName' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

I then found that SQL Server does generate unique names for the temp table but not all the objects associated with the temp table if they are explicitly named.

This is easy enough to solve for a PRIMAY KEY or UNIQUE constraint because the do not have to be named.

Is there a way to create an non-clustered index on a temp table without naming it?

SQL 2012 :: Create Clustered Index On A Very Large Table (500 GB)

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Joining On A Table With Unique Clustered Index

Mar 7, 2015

I have three sprocs and three tables. I was told to use a clustered index in the first table and a unique clustered index on the second table. I never asked about the third table and the person I need to ask is on vacation. Most of the contents of the first table will be joined with all of the contents of the second table into the third table. Do I need to have a unique clustered index on the third table too?

The clustered index in the first sproc is on a unique key that I had created using by concatenating several columns together.

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_UNIQUE_KEY ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (UNIQUE_KEY);
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_DATE ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data (PERIOD);
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_ODS_ID ON MRP.Margin_Optimization_Data
(GL_SEG1_COMPANY_ODS_ID, GL_SEG2_PROFIT_CTR_ODS_ID, GL_SEG3_LOB_ODS_ID, GL_SEG4_PRODUCT_DEPT_ODS_ID, GL_SEG5_ACCOUNT_ODS_ID);

The second sproc with the unique clustered index is on the unique key from the first table and a date attribute.

CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_UNIQUE_KEY ON MRP.[MGN_OPT_KPI_SOURCE] (UNIQUE_KEY, PERIOD);

In the third sproc, I'll have a nonclusted index on the ODS_ID attributes, but I'm unsure of how to go about the clustered index situation.

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_ODS_ID ON MRP.MGN_OPT_KPI_VALUES
(GL_SEG1_COMPANY_ODS_ID, GL_SEG2_PROFIT_CTR_ODS_ID, GL_SEG3_LOB_ODS_ID, GL_SEG4_PRODUCT_DEPT_ODS_ID, GL_SEG5_ACCOUNT_ODS_ID);

Data Warehousing :: Difference Between Primary Key With Clustered And Non-clustered Index

Jul 19, 2013

I have created two tables. table one has the following fields,

                      Id -> unique clustered index.
         table two has the following fields,
                      Tid -> unique clustered index
                      Id -> foreign key of table one(id).

Now I have created primary key for the table one column 'id'. It's created as "nonclustered, unique, primary key located on PRIMARY". Primary key create clustered index default. since unique clustered index existed in table one, it has created "Nonclustered primary key".

My Question is, What is the difference between "clustered, unique, primary key" and "nonclustered, unique, primary key"? Is there any performance impact between these?

SQL 2012 :: Rebuilding Online Clustered Index Locks Table

Jun 3, 2014

I was under impression that rebuilding index online largely means that the index will remain available for use during rebuild and my procs and query will be able to use it during rebuild. Also my understanding was that table will be locked very briefly while the schema change will be completing.But when I was rebuilding the clustered index online on a large table with some 3 million records, the table got locked and I was not able even to read the data from it for some 5 minutes. Then I cancelled the operation as it was production server and it was one of our main transaction table.

Is rebuilding index online supposed to work this way? The table has no other index.The parameteres I used are:

REBUILD WITH (PAD_INDEX = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON, ONLINE = ON, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 95)

SQL Server 2008 :: Does List Of Page IDs Allocated For A Table Change During Index Rebuilds

When I am analyzing the deadlock graph, page number using DBCC PAGE, I am getting the object id for a different table (table2). But deadlock graph shows the name of the object as table1.

Is it possible that subsequent defragmentation of indexes would have caused the respective page id to got re-allocated to a different table? I checked the deadlock graph lately only after 3-4 weeks.
