I write a work about database, and I want to write the diffrence between Table scan and Index scan. When is the index scan effectient? Use the database a Table scan when there is an index on the table or always a index scan when the index is nonselective? Can be a Table Scan effecient than a index scan?
How can I improve performance of my search if I am looking in a table with more than ten million rows with a "like query"?
Does putting an index mean only telling the computer to start in a particular order?
if I index all the coloums does my search get faster ?
how can I decide on an indexing strategy?
Hey,
what is the difference between Table Scan und Index Scan?
I find no difitions in the internet

Hi,
I want to know wht is a
TABLE SCAN
INDEX SCAN
INDEX SEEKand When they are used, Wht is the difference between all these.????
Hi,
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Appreciate your help.
I am having problems w/ the indexes on a particular table. Currently the scan density if 25%. I have ran the dbcc dbreindex and the scan density does not improve. I have manually dropped and recreated all of the indexes on the table (there are only two) and still no help.
I have a clustered Primary Key index on my part_number and project_number fields and another index on the project_number field. If I drop the second index and only have my primary key index, it still doesn't help. The fill factor was originally set to 90% and I changed this to 30%, 20%, 10%, 0% and the best scan density I could acheive was 50%.
The data in this table is not updated that often, on average about 15 records a day are updated, and there are only 107 records. This is a small table, but there is a possibility for it to grow rapidly and I want to be prepared now.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I've tried everything I can think of with no luck.
TIA,
Chris

Hi,
I have a simple temp table which looks like this:
CREATE TABLE #t7e07c01fa80143ff84cb14a2307809f7
(
[AUTOID_TEMP] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
...
)
ON [PRIMARY]
ALTER TABLE #t7e07c01fa80143ff84cb14a2307809f7 ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_t7e07c01fa80143ff84cb14a2307809f7] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[AUTOID_TEMP]
)
ON [PRIMARY]
Insert Into #t7e07c01fa80143ff84cb14a2307809f7
Selet columns... from t....
-- get total records
Declare @TotalCount as int
select @TotalCount = count(AUTOID_TEMP) from #t7e07c01fa80143ff84cb14a2307809f7
Now the above last statement does a index scan. I am new to indexing/tuning and was wondering if its normal - if so why and can I somehow enhance this?
Thanks
Hey guys,
I have a procedure that runs everyday which takes the IIS log file from the previous day and imports it and calcs values. I would like to change this from taking the previous day to scanning all the file names in the folder and comparing them to a database to see if they have already been scanned before. I already have a table called DatesScanned which lists the filename and scandate.
IE:
D:Logsfile1.log
D:Logsfile2.log
D:Logsfile3.log
D:Logsfile4.log
The 4 file names will be scanned and compared to DatesScanned to see which has been imported already.
Can anyone point me to a resource or information on how I would get the directory listing of a folder so I could compare it to the DatesScanned table.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi,Can someone please explain the following1. Meaning of scan count as reported when "statistics io" is turned onprior to running a query.2. In which situations could you have an identical database runningon two diferent servers , with identical database serverconfigurations, running identical queries, with identical query plan,report large discrepency in the scan count . This is one of thepossibilities we are looking at in terms of the reason why one serverruns the job in 12 hours and the other in 24 hours.Server 1--------Table 'TRANS_HISTORY'. Scan count 216, logical reads 897093, physicalreads 44, read-ahead reads 900599.SQL Server Execution Times:CPU time = 27766 ms, elapsed time = 46850 ms.UNIT_NUMBERACCOUNT_TYPETRANSACTION_TYPEServer 2--------Table 'TRANS_HISTORY'.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes SQL Server allow a table scan to be used when querying a table that has a clustered-index? If yes, could someone please show me the syntax? I have tried with (index(0)) but this appararently means a clustered index scan when there is a clustered index on the table to be queried.
Or does clustered index scan mean the same thing as a table scan when the table has a clustered index? Confused.
Thanks
Friends,
I am using this query in a table with 29,000 records having non-clustered index on emp_id
select * from employee
where emp_id between 100 and 1000
and gender = 'M'
order by emp_id
execution plan shows a table scan in table employee. Any reason?
select * from employee with (index = emp_id)
where emp_id between 100 and 1000
order by emp_id
ofcourse this uses index seek

I do not understand it but by connection to my database seems to keep crapping out. I get the below error and my app appears to be unable to access the connection. Then a couple restarts later it tells me that my login under my Windows User failed . The database is there and besides maybe a couple records longer there isnt anything corrupt about the data, and in fact, if I restart the entire PC most times it will allow me to connect again. I can even still access the data tables through the C# editor. Any idea why this error is being thrown?
Thx

When an end user view a report using report manager or a custom build web site, would query of the report scan the tables in original data base? In this case it is a OLTP data base.

My question how to increase Scan Density for this table if CLUSTERED index exist?
I have created a nolock view off a table to prevent locks. I have users coming in through MS Access that have switched their queries to run against the views. Now we are noticing that queries that used to run as a clustered index seek against the table are running as a clustered index scan against the table and performance in the queries has dropped.
Is there any way that the same query that hits the view instead of the table can be made to run faster or at least use the index seek?
Thanks,
Steve
Can someone explain why i can drop and recreate indexes on say 2 tables and they had a scan densitiy of say 15% and 10%.
After i recreate the indexes on both tables one comes back with a scan density of 100% and the other only 25%.
What would cause this table to only go to 25% and not 100% like i want it to be?
Thanks for your help :)
Hi guys-n-gals...
I have a table that contains the following:
PortfolioID(int), EndDate(smalldatetime), Begdate(smalldatetime), WklyCloseIndex (float)
It has a primary key which is PortfolioID/BegDate/EndDate
I need to create a table that summarizes, by date range, the weeklycloseindex of several portfolios, like this:
BegDate EndDate Portfolio2 Portfolio67 Portfolio11 Portfolio90
05/28/2004 06/04/2004 xx.xx xx.xx xx.xx xx.xx
05/21/2004 05/28/2004 xx.xx xx.xx xx.xx xx.xx
So I wrote a function...
This function results in a table scan *GASP!!!!* (at least that's what the 'splain plan tells me when I run it in SQL Analyzer). Before I made it into the function, when I was testing the code in SQL Analyzer, it resulted NOT in a table scan, but rather a series of nested loops (the joins) and clustered index seeks...resulting in about 1/3 the total cost of the function.
I suspected originally that it was the TOP/ORDER BY that the function insisted upon, but even if I remove those, still get a table scan.
Wassup? Why does the function turn my cool lil' self-join into a table scan? Whut am I missing? Any thoughts? Disgusted Derisions? Hurled Insults? Bring it on!!! (please! ;) )
My predecessor did this in a similar project using a separate cursor for each portfolio by date, then looped through the dates, pulling in the per-portfolio index value and building the output table. I would rather avoid the cursors if I can.
I am running a SELECT on a table. This READ operation ends up going through Clustered Index Scan. I want to know whether Clustered Index Scan , blocks other concurrent transactions trying to INSERT into this table? Does Clustered Index Scan locks the entire clustered index?

Hi all,
I have a scanner that dump the images into a directory. Because of thousand images dump per day, I want to moved the images into another directory each day as nightly schedule. However I like the path of the images moved stored into the database, to retrieve later. Have anyone design something like this? Right now, I get the file name from the text files, import to the database and update the path directory. I was hoping to get away from this...and do this as a jobs.

I have the following scenario (with 2K5 Express)
I have a table with 160.000 records.
I have to retrieve 10.000 - 40.000 records by their ids (<3seconds would be sufficent)
I first used single requests, then one single command as batch (simply joined the single commands into one string).
But that was very slow (30 seconds if cached). so I created one big statement
select myfields
from mytable where id in(1,2,..,35000)
if everything is cached the speed is fine (<1second), but if I retrieve the data for the first time
it takes 15-30 seconds, that's a bit too slowish.
the total database size is 100MB - so a file scan should be faster, I thought at least
so HERE is the problem why I post this
to force the table scan I used
Select myFields From mytable With (Index(0) ...
that took > 3 minutes
I tested the raw IO-time, that was 2,5-3 seconds with the db-file
has SQL Server a problem with the 35.000 items in the condition?
(If it loopes 35.000 x 160.000 times instead of using a hash for the items that would explain the slow speed)
or another reason:
is table scanning always much slower then the raw io operations?
the id-index is not grouped and ( I really don't know why) not marked as primary key,
but that shouldn't have any impact on a file-scan, I guess.
Has anyone faced (and solved) a similiar problem?

Shades[B]Extent Scan Fragmentation
A few days after droping and recreating noclustered indexes on a large table, scan density of most indexes falls below 20%. Only a few number of rows has deleted. Update operation didn't update these keys and there was a lot of inserts. Could anyone explain why are indexes fragmented so much?

I vendor in insistent I have run their scripts incorrectly three times. I have run a "dbcc reindex" and even dropped primary key and indexes for a table and the scan density does not change. I have read white papers that state that on small tables you may never get a scan density of 100%. I am using this forum as a yardstick for this question.
