According to sysindexes, I have a table with a primary key and an index. I'd like to drop the index. However, when I give the drop command, the message "Cannot drop the index 'eventlog._INDEX', because it does not exist in the system catalog." is returned.
I'm not sure what to look for. How do I remove the index?
Hi,
I have a table which I am unable to drop the index.
I tried to drop it via the TSQL and GUI interface (Indexes dialog box),
but when I clicked on table refresh, the index still there.
Below is the result after DBCC commands:
1. DBCC checktable(TB_LOCLoan)
Checking TB_LOCLoan
The total number of data pages in this table is 146542.
Table has 1596232 data rows.
Msg 605, Level 21, State 1
Attempt to fetch logical page 462136 in database 'DM_LOCLoan' belongs to object '1744009244',
not to object 'TB_LOCLoan'.
2. DBCC newalloc(DM_LOCLoan)
TABLE: TB_LOCLoan OBJID = 832005995
INDID=0 FIRST=60168 ROOT=642778 DPAGES=146542 SORT=0

Table Corrupt: Object id wrong; tables: alloc page 463616 extent id=463752 l page#=463752
objid in ext=-832005995 (name = -832005995) objid in page=832005995 (name = TB_LOCLoan)
objid in sysindexes=832005995 (name = TB_LOCLoan)
TOTAL # of extents = 18393
3. From Error Msg 2525, I have tried the suggested action
use DM_LOCLoan
go
select indid, name, object_name(id)
from sysindexes
where id=832005995
and distribution=463752
go
This query does not return any row.
I am running out of clue of how to proceed! Anybody come across this problem before?
I am very eager to solve this problem as the table is hanging here, I can't even drop it to recreate
and continue data loading.
Thank you.

I restored a user database from another server and created a script to drop and recreate the users. This has worked for me in the past to synchronize logins/passwords. Recently I have been unable to drop two users and get the following error message:
Server: Msg 15183, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MScheck_uid_owns_anything, Line 17
The user owns objects in the database and cannot be dropped.
I'm unable to find any objects owned by the user and have unsuccessfully been able to drop them. Has anyone else anything similar to this error?
Here is my code,
1. create table t1 (id int )
2. create unique index u on t1(id)
3. create table t2 (id int constraint f foreign key references t1(id))
4. ALTER TABLE t2 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL
5. ALTER TABLE t1 NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL
6. drop index t1.u
I get a FK voilation exception. on line 6.
I was not expecting this, because I am doing 4 & 5
Is dropping the FK is only option?
Actually I am trying to move the unique index to a different file group.

I created a trigger that will throw a message whenever a new record is inserted in the table. Now I want to remove this trigger. I am not able to remove.
CREATE TRIGGER prod_culture_trig ON Production.Culture
AFTER INSERT
AS
SELECT 'New culture entry added';
I get the following error message:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 2, Procedure prod_oulture_trig, Line 4
There is already an object named 'prod_oulture_trig' in the database.
This error confirms that we have the trigger already existing. Now I run the code
DROP TRIGGER prod_oulture_trig;
I get the following error message -
Msg 3701, Level 11, State 5, Line 1
Cannot drop the trigger 'prod_culture_trig', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
What permission do I require? This is a test database on my computer with me as the administrator.
How to remove this trigger?
Hi all, I am trying to create a CONSTRAINT but for some reason T-SQL does not allow me to do that.
When I try to DROP a CONSTRAINT it says:
Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 13'DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK' is not a constraint.Msg 3727, Level 16, State 0, Line 13Could not drop constraint. See previous errors.
When I try to ADD a CONSTRAINT it says:
Msg 1781, Level 16, State 1, Line 14Column already has a DEFAULT bound to it.Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 14Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
For some reason I can't win here. Can't drop it nor can I create one. Any solution?
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE TBL_SyncTable DROP CONSTRAINT DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK
ALTER TABLE TBL_SyncTable ADD CONSTRAINT GOD_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK DEFAULT 2 FOR DEVUK
Thanks for comments + suggestions.
*UPDATE*
I am trying to use the following code to check if the SCHEMA exists but still no luck. For some reason when I create it and wrap an IF statement around it, it doesn't detect the SCHEMA. Is something wrong with my code?
Code Snippet
IF EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS WHERE CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
AND CONSTRAINT_NAME = 'DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK'
AND TABLE_NAME = 'TBL_SyncTable'
)
SELECT * FROM TABLE_1
ELSE
ALTER TABLE TBL_SyncTable ADD CONSTRAINT DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK DEFAULT 2 FOR DEVUK

Hi, all,
I want to re-create an index on a production table.
I got an error 644 "could not find index entry...".
The DBCC CHECKDB and CHECKTABLE gave me this:
Server: Msg 8928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Object ID 37575172, index ID 6: Page (1:939782) could not be processed. See other errors for details.
Server: Msg 8939, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID 37575172, index ID 6, page (1:939782). Test (*(((int*) &m_reservedB) + i) == 0) failed. Values are 7 and 36.
DBCC results for 'Mfg_DFSFNSF'.
There are 1142314 rows in 326143 pages for object 'Mfg_DFSFNSF'.
CHECKTABLE found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in table 'Mfg_DFSFNSF' (object ID 37575172).
The table script for the index is like this:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [Mfg_ITMDH_MbrIdx] ON [dbo].[Mfg_DFSFNSF]([_ITMDH_OwnRow], [_ITMDH_MbrKey], [RECTYPE]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 70 ON [PRIMARY]
My question is that can I drop it and run above create it to fix the problem in live mode?
I know the other option will be:
DBCC CHECKTABLE (FSDBMR.dbo.Mfg_DFSFNSF, repair_allow_data_loss)
But that has to put the db under single user mode.
Thanks!
I'm trying to drop indexes if they already exist then recreate them as needed, however, I'm getting an error if the index does not exist and I thought that's what the "IF Exists" statement was for.
syntax:
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysindexes WHERE name = 'idx_acct_no') DROP INDEX accounts.idx_acct_no
go
create index [idx_acct_no] ON [dbo].[accounts] ([acct_no])
go
Error when index does not exist:
Server: Msg 3703, Level 11, State 7, Line 1
Cannot drop the index 'accounts.idx_acct_no', because it does not exist in the system catalog.
Is there anyway to not get this error?
Hi all,
I come from MySQL.
In sqlserverce
I'm looking for an equivalent command..to
"DROP INDEX IF EXISTS inventory.idxItems"
or somthing similar so that I do not get an error or crash the C# app when I try to drop a nonexisting index..
also for droping a table.
We are unable to drop a database user with the following error "Msg 15284, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database principal has granted or denied permissions to objects in the database and cannot be dropped."

How we can revoke the SEND permissions?
If I rebuild the clustered index using this option (Drop Existing) without specifying the Fill Factor, would it it retain the original Fill Factor?
Thank you

Is there anyway to drop an index at the partition level in SQL 2005 ?There is a way to rebuild at the partition level (assuming this creates)i.e.: alter index ALL on dbo.LP_CQ rebuild partition = 229 ;I want to:1. Drop index(es) at partition level (partitioned by period value (1..400)).2. bulk copy data in (can be 1 or more periods per day).3. Rebuild at Partition level.Thx
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just tried to backup a database I recently deployed to to SQL Server 2005 box, and got the following error:
The backup of full-text catalog 'myCatalog' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online.
Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data.
I don't need the index so I tried to drop it with both:
DROP fulltext catalog 'myCatalog'
and
DROP catalog 'myCatalog'
but both give me a syntax error.
How can I get rid of this index so I can backup my database?
Thanks,

SQL SERVER 2000System let's you alter the system tables and add indexes. However, it won'tlet you drop the index afterward.Anybody know how to drop an index on a system table?Thanks,Kevin
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a Endpoint with "Mirroring Server" on the mirroring instance. Due to the keyword server i am not able to drop the endpoint now.
Also am not able to configure a mirror in a windows workgroup also( the two systems principal and mirror are under same network ). I have followed many ways as per msdn articles and other blogs.
I am not able to connect to the mirror server.
I have tried giving the ip addr and the port no, also the computer name:port no, computername.local:port no etc. Both the systems are running on sql server 2008 only
I always get the error as Connection cannot be established to the destination.
(I have also enabled the ports in firewall by creating inbound and outbound rules)
The issue probably lies in NAMING server address i guess.
Hi
I am unable to drop the above login. The error is Error:15141 The server principal owns an event notification and cannot be dropped.
I have looked in the table sys.server_event_notifications and there are rows returned that have a server_principal_id of the user I am trying to drop. No events have been created on this server, so I am assuming these notifications are either created by default or are somehow related to Database Mail?
All the event notifications belong to service name "SQL/Notifications/ProcessWMIEventProviderNotification/v1.0" and begin with SQLWEP (i.e. SQLWEP_RECHECK_SUBSCRIPTIONS, SQLWEP_B415ADB8_A604_4057_976F_600002FA5AF6). How can I find out what these are for and how they were created?
What purpose do these event notifications have? Is there some syntax to change the owner of these event notifications so I can successfully drop the login? If the only way is to directly update the system view, is this safe and what repercussions could this have?
Thanks

I have a procedure where an id is passed into the procedure. It will either be a numeric value or it will be the word "ALL." All that is taking place is a select statement for the specified user id. However, if All is passed in then I 1st need to get a list of all possible user id's and produce the results for all of the associated user ids. This is my syntax, but it keeps producing a compile error of:
Msg 3701, Level 11, State 5, Line 1
Cannot drop the table '#tbl_temp', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.And I placed a comment above the line that is throwing this error.

I have a non-clustered index on a table. If I rebuild or reorganize it in SQL 2005, the total fragmentation percent reported by properties/fragmentation on the index stays at 33%.
Why doesn't the fragmentation go to 0% ?
If I totally drop/create the index, starts even higher, but beorg or rebuild simply goes to 33%. This even if using with use temp db for sort option.
I need a way to push create index statements drop to the subscribers. If I can use replication to distribute index creation that would be great. We don't allow our clients to make any schema changes directly. We are using transaction and merge replication.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhello everyone,we dropped the clustered & nonclustered indeces on a table, thenrebuilt them. logical fragmentation is near zero, but extentfragmentation is about 40%. how can this be if the indeces are brandnew?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are running MS RS and SQL Server 2000 SP3.
We have one LEDGER, where all the daily activities are stored. The LEDGER table has 4 indexes (1 clustered and 3 non-clustered). To get AR we use this table.
Well problem is some times in 1-2 months, any simple AR query takes a long time and every other client gets slow response (queries are very slow or sometimes block).
If we DROP any index on LEDGER table and again put it back (RECREATE), all our queries work fine and faster. This goes on till 1-2 months, till we see the same issue again.
This is a classic case happened today. Queries were running fine till morning 8 AM. We upload some 50 thousand records to Ledger table (Data Conversion). Well after 30 mins, all simple AR queries started taking a long time. We DROPPED an index in LEDGER table and everything was faster....Just to be same we added back the same index again.......everything is Faster.....
What is this. ....is it our QUERY, index or huge Transactions or no free space ???
We are scheduled to run SP4, next week. But is there any solution in the mean time on what is this?
Also is they any way to KILL all SQL server processes that take more than a mins. We just don't want ALL our client to Slow down because of one query????
Thanks,
After the incremental process and full process, SSAS doesn't drop the index files #.xxx.fact.map and #.xxx.fact.map.hdr in the file.0.dim folder. We now have all the versions from 3 to 5000 sitting in the folder. The DBA team only found this when the disk is running out of space recently.
We've already check the account running the SSAS has local admin to the server.
Is there any config setting that might cause this issue? If not, what could it be causing this issue.
What is the impact on the users to drop an index on a table while in use? I will recreate the index afterwards. The table is used constantly by a three of processes/users at all times.

We have a vendor created database with 9000+ tables, one of which has about 6 billion rows. The vendor redesigned the database recently and ever since we've had terrible performance.
What the vendor did was increase any and all varchar columns (tens of thousands of columns) to 256.
Before the upgrade we had no problems creating an index on the 6billion row table, it would take 2 hours.
Now after the upgrade we've let the index creation command run for 5 days and killed it because it was consuming terabytes of logspace.
The previous design had combined column width of 1049 to what is now over 4000. The primary key itself is 1283 characters (SQL limit is 900).
There is no additional data, just wider columns. Why we are unable to create the index?
What is happening inside SQL Server? Does SQL make "room" in memory for the index for the entire width of the potential max row length?
Hi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.

I am using Full Text Index to index emails stored in BLOB column in a table. Index process parses stored emails, and, if there is one or more files attached to the email these documents get indexed too. In result when I'm querying the full text index for a word or phrase I am getting reference to the email containing the word of phrase if interest if the word was used in the email body OR if it was used in any document attached to the email.
How to distinguish in a Full Text query that the result came from an embedded document rather than from "main" document? Or if that's not possible how to disable indexing of embedded documents?
My goal is either to give a user an option if he or she wants to search emails (email bodies only) OR emails AND documents attached to them, or at least clearly indicate in the returned result the real source where the word or phrase has been found.
