I'm new to reporting services and this is a very general question. I'm working on a large sales stats report with many results. I want to be able to compare many results for two dates. These results include, average sales value per day, average sales per weekday, sales with payment received, etc.
So basically there is lots of analysis needed mainly based on one database table (a fairly standard orders table).
What seemed the most logical thing to do is get all the relevant order rows for these two date ranges, A and B, and append a period column to the results, and then do all the maths/aggregate functions in Reporting Services. Thus only having to connect to database once.
And use a matrix with date period columns. So my query gives me results like:
Period order_total, is_weekday, no_weekdays_in_period.....
A 123 0 22....
A 54 1 22....
B 134 0 20...
Does this make the most sense? Or should I do the maths (grouping and aggregate functions) in lots of different queries (in which case, is Reporting Services worthwhile using?)?
I have this t-sql code which will get some table stats on one database at a time, I was wondering how I would get it to loop through all databases so it will pull the stats from all tables in all databases. Here is my code:
Select object_schema_name(UStat.object_id) + '.' + object_name(UStat.object_id) As [Object Name] ,Case When Sum(User_Updates + User_Seeks + User_Scans + User_Lookups) = 0 Then Null Else Cast(Sum(User_Seeks + User_Scans + User_Lookups) As Decimal) / Cast(Sum(User_Updates
Hi all. Anyone know if sql server collects stats on how many fulltable scans a table gets and if so how do I get at those stats? Tryingto track down poorly indexed tables / processes and I am guessing thatsql server does have this data secreted away somewhere much like mydb2 and informix databases do.
Does anyone know of a tried and tested method for collating stats from SQL Server databases. I have a no. of databases hosted on a single server, servicing a no. of applications. I need to find out the following: CPU usage of each application on the server Memory usage of each application etc
Has anyone noticed a performance improvement during trading hours when they replaced sp_updatestats with UPDATE STATISTICS FULLSCAN in their nightly maintenance? Or is it negligible?
Basically i am from Oracle background. I need some help. In oracle we gather the statistics of a table as SQL> analyze table <tname> compute statistics for all indexes;
or SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_schema_stats('SCOTT')
I want to gather statistics for a particular database say."pubs" for example.
Hi there...How do I get to extract info like, current Database logged in user orgeneral stats like, ram usage... etc etc etc into a form if I use MicrosoftAccess 2002 for my forms application?Thanks in advanceRudi
COuld someone tell me if its possible to get hold of stats about allDatabases on a SQL Server.The sort of things I would like areName of DBLocation of DBSize of DBLocation of LogfileSize of DBOwnerUsers Authorised to access the DBIs there something that can do thisThanksDerrick
Hello all- Is it possible to reset the values of DMV stats/counters without restarting the SQL service? I'm looking for something more than dbcc freeproccache...more along the lines of index_usage and some of the OS DMVs.
Hi all, I have an dtsx (SSIS) for "clone" manually Sql server database to another.
How I copy all stats from one database to another ? I have problem with "auto stats".
When I try DROP statitics for auto stats I get this error:
No se puede DROP el índice 'dbo.ACTIVIDAD_PROVEEDOR.PK_ACTIVIDAD_PROVEEDOR'. No es una colección de estadísticas.
Cannot DROP index 'dbo.ACTIVIDAD_PROVEEDOR.PK_ACTIVIDAD_PROVEEDOR'. Not statitics collection.
What can I do ??
-- Get Stats list SELECT '[' + SCHEMA_NAME(tbl.schema_id) + '].[' + tbl.name + ']' AS [Table_Name_With_Schema], '[' + st.name + ']' AS [Name], '' + SCHEMA_NAME(tbl.schema_id) + '.' + tbl.name + '' + '.' + st.name + '' AS [Estadistica] FROM sys.tables AS tbl INNER JOIN sys.stats st ON st.object_id=tbl.object_id ORDER BY [Table_Name_With_Schema] ASC,[Name] ASC
Thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated, regards, greetings

I'm fairly new to SQL Server and I'm just wondering if it's possible to Update Statistice for all indexes somehow? I'm looking at the Update Statistics command and it doesn't seem to be possible.
The situation we have is a reporting DB that basically has all it's tables truncated and remade every night by some DTS jobs that import from another datasource and change the data and build some denormalzed tables etc. Some of the large Insert operations go from taking 8 mins to taking several hours sometimes and updating the stats seems to fix the problem for a while. So I'd like to make sure the optimizer has all the latest stats for all tables.
I have client tools installed on a server and I have registered our 30+ instances hosted on various servers to this one MS SQL 2005 Management Studios.
Question:
How can I use this set up to send an e-mail distribution list a nice monthly chat showing the sizes of the database, memory, cpu utilization of all the registered databases?
reindex just ran on friday... how is it possible to have a logical scan fragmentation of 97% ... is it because fillfactor is set to 100 and pages cannot be reorganized any better with this arrangement? thanks
Hi chapsJust been having my head messed with...I was running a trace capturing all errors and SQL. Had a bucket oferror 208's (invalid object name). Found the SQL that caused it - anSP.Ran the sp by hand, no messages come up - error 208 logged in thetrace.Couldn't work it out. Then noticed stats missing on one column.Created the stats manually - and suddenly the 208 error stops. Wtf?Is this predicted/expected behaviour? Just me being a noob?Thought I'd just share that. ta ;)SQL2k, sp3a, w2k server.
Does anyone have any reports built that show the usage of the reports based off the ExecutionLog table, or how you would get the "ReportID" to refer back to human readable report name?
I find it hard to believe others have not wanted to see how many reports were ran yesterday, what reports are not being used anymore, and which ones we may need to cache because they are over used throughout the day.
When I look at the list of publications I can see the status of the last time the replication ran. Where in the database is that information being pulled from?
We recently upgraded to Version 7.0 and the Enterprise Manager on the client is not showing the database size or the information in regards to the last backups. Has anyone else experienced this that can offer a solution?
Does anyone know how to tell how long it took for an auto update statistics to run? I looked under DBCC Show_Statistics and it shows the time the stats were last updated, but not how long it took to update them. Thanks.
Is an index based on a smallint (16 bit) really faster than an index based on an int (32 bit) If so, how much...
Four tables
Table A: ID smallint (PK) Text varchar(50)
Table B:ForeginID smallint (indexed - non unique) Text varchar(50) rowID int (PK)
Table C: ID int (PK) Text varchar(50)
Table D:ForeginID int (indexed - non unique) Text varchar(50) rowID int (PK)
Table A and C contain identical data Table B and D contain identical data (Tables A and B were filled and then copied to Tables C and D)
Tables A/C are loaded with 64,000 records (-32,000 to 32,000) Tables B/D are loaded with 6,400,000 records ForeginID loaded randomly with values between -32,000 and 32,000
The purpose of this test is to find out if identical queries joined on a smallint are actually faster than int based.
I ran 3 queries on each set: - Full select - Select on ID/Foregin ID - Select on Table2 RowID joined to table 1
Here are the queries:
#1. Full select (smallint) - grouped to limit result set ----------------------------------------------------------- SELECT intAID, COUNT(intBID) FROM TESTintA INNER JOIN TESTintB ON intAID = intBID GROUP BY intAID ORDER BY COUNT(intBID) desc
#2. Select on ID/Foregin ID (smallint) ------------------------------------------ SELECT intAID, intBID, strATXT, strBTXT FROM TESTintA INNER JOIN TESTintB ON intAID = intBID WHERE intAID = 29120
#3. Select on Table2 RowID joined to table 1 (smallint) ------------------------------------------ SELECT intAID, intBID, strATXT, strBTXT FROM TESTintA INNER JOIN TESTintB ON intAID = intBID WHERE intPK = 1050
#4. Full select (int) - grouped to limit result set ------------------------------------------ SELECT lngCID, COUNT(lngDID) FROM TESTlngC INNER JOIN TEXTlngD ON lngCID = lngDID GROUP BY lngCID ORDER BY COUNT(lngDID) desc
#5. Select on ID/Foregin ID (int) ------------------------------------------ SELECT lngCID, lngDID, strTXTC, strTXTD FROM TESTlngC INNER JOIN TEXTlngD ON lngCID = lngDID WHERE lngCID = 29120
#6. Select on Table2 RowID joined to table 1 (int) ------------------------------------------ SELECT lngCID, lngDID, strTXTC, strTXTD FROM TESTlngC INNER JOIN TEXTlngD ON lngCID = lngDID WHERE intPK = 1050
Here are the results: (run multiple times to verify)
#1. Full select (smallint) - grouped to limit result set ----------------------------------------------------------- (8 seconds) - before computing statistics on table (13 seconds) - after computing statistics on table
#2. Select on ID/Foregin ID (smallint) ------------------------------------------ (0 seconds)
#3. Select on Table2 RowID joined to table 1 (smallint) ------------------------------------------ (0 seconds)
#4. Full select (int) - grouped to limit result set ------------------------------------------ (8 seconds) - before computing statistics on table (7 seconds) - after computing statistics on table
#5. Select on ID/Foregin ID (int) ------------------------------------------ (0 seconds)
#6. Select on Table2 RowID joined to table 1 (int) ------------------------------------------ (0 seconds)
Conclusion: Not only is there a negligible difference in select performance, generating stats on the smallint actually makes it slower. (perhaps there is some kind of conversion going on here behind the scenes?)
I am having the following errors with the script below

Recently we moved few of our databases from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 (SP 2) using backup and restore. After the restore I did Reindex and update stats on the databases. Since then we have observed performance issues on SQL 2005 databases but this performance problem vanishes the moment we run (sp_updatestats). Is this a problem with SQL 2005 that we have to run sp_updatestats 2 times a days or 3 times a day. In SQL 2000 we ran it only Once a week and still we never had any performance issues. Is there any config change we need to do to fix this problem in SQL 2005?
(Assuming SQL Server 2000, auto create statistics on, auto updatestatistics on.)DoesDBCC DBREINDEX(<tablename>)update statistics? If yes, are the statistics equivalent to thosethat would be produced by:UPDATE STATISTICS <tablename> WITH FULLSCAN
Is there a way to determine how often a specific report has been viewed by a user? I have 30-40 reports set up (rendering from snapshot), and I'd like to determine which reports are the most frequented.
For one of our SQL server 2005 Ent edition 64 bit SP4 which has transnational replication set up and used for heavy reporting, i was trying to counter out the performance of slow running queries which basically runs and get suspended and most often are seeing waiting:So i tried to analyse the wait stats and come up with below stats where ASYNC_NETWORK_IO dominated for a collection of two weeks data.
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
--Created an insert table DECLARE @COUNT INT
SET @COUNT = 1
WHILE @COUNT <= 1000
begin
insert into CUSTOMER (CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME)
VALUES (@COUNT, '12345678901234567890')
SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1
END
Look at Tables then statistics the statistics are empty so i fire update statistics and see 1000 rows in here.
I run again the insert script DECLARE @COUNT INT
SET @COUNT = 1001
WHILE @COUNT <= 2000
begin
insert into CUSTOMER (CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME)
VALUES (@COUNT, '12345678901234567890')
SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1
END
Look again at statistics it not firing.
If i do select * from CUSTOMER where CUSTOMER_ID = '2000' then go checks statictics it works.
I was under the impression that when you do insert or delete, update then the statistics are fired.
The sys.sysindexes rowmodctr shows the 1000 rows.
I checked the conditions that sql fires if the no of rows int able > 6 and < 500 then updates when 500 mods made. Also if row > 500 auto update done when 500 = 20% are added
So both are met.
Anyone other any other suggestions about the auto stats ?
I have installed the reports for the performance dashboard and really like it!
However, I'd like to be able to clear the stats in order to run specific procedures etc and see the most inefficient parts in the specific procedure. The documentation says like this about it:
The lifetime of the DMV data depends on the lifetime of the plan in cache. You can determine how long the plan has been cached, and thus the time frame over which these resources have been consumed, by looking at the Plan Cached column
What Plan Cashed column? Can someone explain to me how to clear the stats?
Recently a production server suffered a critical blocking period and I wanted to know if I could solicit some input. It seems that a stored procedure was in the middle of recompiling while and auto update statistics started. This caused blocking for like an hour on the single object (stored procedure) that was originally called. The table that the update occurred on and that the stored procedure is reading form is quite large. It is 2 mil rows and about 140 columns wide. Some info from sysprocesses is below. The table alone takes up almost 4GB of space, when looking at sp_spaceused. I have some questions. 1. Can the update statistics for a '_WA%' stats cause blocking on a table? 2. Does an update stats on an index survive a restart of SQL server? We tried restarting, but the blocking did not end. 3. If the stored procedure is running under a compile, can the server automatically start an update stats and cause the stored procedure to wait? 4. Can the server automatically start an update stats on more than one column stats at a time, causing one to be blocked by the other? 5. We had never seen this issue before going to SQL2K clustering. Is this something specific to SQL2K and not SQL7 ?
Thanks for your input. John Lee
This is the lock info for the blocking processes.
