Shouldn't The Order Of Records Be Based On The Key Or Primary Index?
Jun 11, 2007
I upsized an access database with a key / index on ordernumber and linenumber.
However if I open the table in the Management Studio the records aren't ordered this way (same goes for select * from table) I get:
Ordernumber
Linenumber
200724001
37
200724004
3
200724006
33
200724001
3
200724011
19
200724014
5
200724006
37
200724011
19
200724006
28
Same goes for my crystal reports files, since the records aren't ordered by ordernumber / linenumber all my formulas go bezerk..
Am I wrong thinking the records should be ordered according to the prim. index?
Please help because I don't want to have to change all my 40+ reports to include an "ORDER BY"
Best regards,
Mike

Hi all,I have a table with this structure:Customer ID | Transaction date | Transaction type1 | 1/2/2008 | F1 | 1/4/2007 | M1 | 1/2/2008 | R2 | 1//5/2007 | M2 | 1/6/2007 | RFor each customer ID, I need to retrive only the records with the mostrecent transaction date, and I did:Customer ID | Transaction date | Transaction type1 | 1/2/2008 | F1 | 1/2/2008 | R2 | 1/6/2007 | RThe problem is, each customer can make more than one transaction inthe same day (see above). In these cases, I need to retrieve only onerecord per customer, based on the importance of the transaction: F ismore "important" than R which is more "important" than M. So, in theexample above, I would only retrieve transaction F for customer 1 anddisregard transaction R: they were made on the same date, but I ammore interested in F than in R.Do you have any suggestions on how I could achieve this in SQL?I use Microsoft SQL server 2005.Thank you for your help!

I have a query that calculate the total amount of order details based on a particular order:
Select a.OrderID,SUM(UnitPrice*Quantity-Discount)
From [Order Details]
Inner Join Orders a
On a.OrderID=[Order Details].OrderID
Group by a.OrderID
My question is what if I wanted to create a formula to something like:
UnitPrice * Quantity - DiscountAmount Where DiscountAmount = UnitPrice Quantity * Discount
Do I need to create a function for that? Also is it possible to have m y query as a table variable?

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?

Hello,if you create this table:create table hello (int a, int bconstraint pk_hello primary key clustered ( a, b ))and then insert the following recordsa,b1,11,21,32,12,22,33,13,23,3and then doselect a,b from hellothe output seems to be:a,b1,12,13,11,22,23,21,32,33,3which is wrong and (i think) is reflecting the actual index orderand physical order on diskit should be:a,b1,11,21,32,12,22,33,13,23,3i have tested this on a table with 500,000 recordsand sure enough if you declare the clustered primary key fields inreverse order:constraint pk_hello primary key clustered ( b, a )two things happen:- the select with no order by returns the records in the expected order- queries relying on that order run MUCH FASTERhas anyone else seen / noticed this?

Hi,
I have a table in my SQL 2000 database called utContact, this has a primary called ContactID (int, idenitity), by default this should have a clustered index on it, but when I go to view the indexes on the table it shows the primary key index as non clustered.
How can this be?
SQL server also will not let me change the index to clustered, but I need to as this is causing a lot of table scans in query execution plans.
Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi All,
One of my client having 1 million(nearly) records in a table.
I defined the table as below
1) Created table with one col(we can name it as "ID") having IDENTITY
2) Using "alter table", I created CLUSTERED PRIMARY KEY Constraint on Same field (ID)
3) The Primary key having 2 ref with another 2 tables
Now the issue is when we create or define a primary key (With Clustered Option) automatically cluster Index will be created on defined table
As such table having huge data whenever any updation or insertion against that particular table taking huge amount of time, because the cluster Index trying re-paging whole data. Because of re-paging each and every time "Transaction Log also growing in huge" (database is in full recovery mode and client wants in same mode only)
Data partitioning not posible because whole data related and current live data
I tried following options with vain
1) To Clear transaction log I suggested to take regular log backup's
2) I tried to drop cluster index and tried to implement non clustered index
Drop and re-create index is take taking huge amount of time
Even in this process I have to Re_Index remaining Index's also
Pls give me any other solution or suggestion in this regard
with Thanks & Regards

Dear all,
I want to keep certain archive data in certain tables. One such table is currently about 190 GB in size. It has a primary key with clustered index and three non-clustered indexes. The type of queries fired are strictly selects (daily) and inserts (only monthly).
Question: Is it advisable to have a non-clustered index on the primary key column?.....I am finding that the insert performance is getting hurt due to presence of clustered index on such a large table (190 GB).
Let me know your views.
Regards,
Chetan

I am using RDA to download a tables
I use TrackingOffWithIndexes
the issue is that when I download a small set of data the primary key index is there
when I download a larger set. the index gets dropped (no error) just slowness when querying the table
the max database size is set to 1024mb and the temp database size is set to 1024mb
the actual db size (with the missing index) is 262 mb... lot's of room left!
when I try to create the index manually after the download in sql server management studio I get this error:
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation
I am using 2GB sd cards and nothing else is on the card.
any ideas?

Hi
I have a question regarding updating statistics for a primary key.
Background: An update statistics with fullscan is sometimes taking 30 minutes - the table is 80 million rows, with only 4 columns. The table is truncated, and then 80 million rows inserted all in one go.
Now why the update stats is taking that long is another question (I have no idea - any thoughts?), but my question is; Since you can't disable the "not automatically recompute statistics" option for a primary key, and you would think it would be imperitive for the stats to be kept up to date for a PK for inserts.... does this mean the stats would be kept up to date? and an update stat with fullscan isn't required?
Hope someone can help
Thanks
James

Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

I want to make an index with the following columns, actually together they constitute the PK of the table so the index is created automatically.
The question is witch sort order is the best to have if I want to fetch all rows for one date and one resource? And why?
WHERE Resource = "Car 1" AND Date = "2013-03-03"
Resource, Date, Time
Or
Date, Time, Resource
Below is an example with tree resources, but in reality there can be a lot more and also years of dates.
Car 1, 2013-03-03, 10.00
Car 1, 2013-03-03, 11.00
Car 1, 2013-03-03, 12.00
Car 1, 2013-03-04, 10.00

Is there a dynamic management view or system procedure which I can use to find out what columns are in an index, what columns are as an INCLUDE in the index and whether or not the column(s) are ascending or descending. This is excluding the utilities I already know about below:
sys.indexes
sys.index_columns
sp_helpindex
dm_db_index_physical_stats
dm_db_index_operational_stats
I only ask because it is a pain to look through the sys.indexes and sys.index_columns tables every time I want to know about what columns are in the index created. I also know that scripting the index would give me the information I need but there must be a better way.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I have created a very simple table. Here is the script:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[IndexTable]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[IndexTable]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[IndexTable] (
[Id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Code] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [CusteredOnCode] ON [dbo].[IndexTable]([Id]) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[IndexTable] ADD
CONSTRAINT [PrimaryKeyOnId] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[Id]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
The records that i added are:
Id Code
1 a
2 b
3 aa
4 bb
Now when i query like
Select * from IndexTable
I expect the results as:
Id Code
1 a
3 aa
2 b
4 bb
as i have the clustered index on column Code.
But i m getting the results as:
Id Code
1 a
2 b
3 aa
4 bb
as per the primary key order that is a non clustered index.
Can anyone explain why it is happening?
Thanks

) ON [PRIMARY]
But when I tried to input my data like
'abc', '123 abc'
'abc ','123 abc'
SQL server won't recognize 'abc' and 'abc ' is a different value if the last character is a space. Is there a way to make it as a different value? I tried to drop the primary and input the data. When I ran a group by the name column, 'abc' show 2 instead of 1. Seems SQL server is trying to ignore the space at the end too.
I also noticed unique index have the same problem too. Please help.

Hi all,
I have a huge table with million of rows, which has ONE Clustered index associated with the PRIMARY KEY, and there are some NON_Clustered indexes.
So,now i decided that, i dont need any more indexes ( not even one) on that table, but i need to maintain primary key on that table.
(a) So, how can i accomplish this (i.e.) having primay key but not having indexes on the table.

I have a table with plant types and plant names. Certain plants are grouped on a custom field, currently called Field. I am trying to create a query that will give me a result set containing the primary order on Type, but need items with the same 'Field' value grouped by each other.For example, the following shows a standard query result with "order by Type", ie select * from plants order by Type
Code:
ID Type Name Field
1 Type1Name1(group1)
2 Type2Name2(group2) -group2
3 Type3Name3(group3)
4 Type4Name4(group4)
5 Type5Name5(group2) -group2
6 Type6Name6(group6)
But I want it to look like this, with fields of the same value located next to each other in the result set (but still initially ordered by Type)
Code:
1 Type1Name1(group1)
2 Type2Name2(group2) -group2
5 Type5Name5(group2) -group2
3 Type3Name3(group3)
4 Type4Name4(group4)
6 Type6Name6(group6)
