Alter Index
Nov 5, 2007
I am getting an error below when trying to use online indexing.
The error returned list a series of datatypes not supported for ONLINE=ON
The problem is the datatype referred in the table is varbinary which is not listed.
Also I created a test table with a varbinary index and all is good in the hood.
Can someone help with the below error.
Thanks in advance.
Database: Adventureworks
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2047.00 (X64) Apr 14 2006 01:11:53 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
ALTER INDEX ALL
ON Production.[Document] REBUILD
WITH (ONLINE = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON, MAXDOP = 2)
Msg 2725, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Online index operation cannot be performed for index 'PK_Document_DocumentID' because the index contains column 'Document' of data type text, ntext, image, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max) or xml. For non-clustered index the column could be an include column of the index, for clustered index it could be any column of the table. In case of drop_existing the column could be part of new or old index. The operation must be performed offline.
Thank you,

If the index to be rebuilt is a clustered index, will all non-clustered indexes be rebuilt also by rebuilding only the clustered index.

Hi all
We are still testing SQL 2005. We changed all the CREATE INDEX jobs to ALTER INDEX. we ran the index jobs and noticed a lot of blocking. The jobs eventually completed successfully though. The spids were blocking themselves. And this was on and off. I qould query sysprocesses and see the blocking intermittently. I didnt notice this when we run the same indexing jobs in 2000. Is this the way ALTER INDEX works in 2005 or is this something we need to be concerned about? We have build 3186. I need to mention that the jobs finished rather quicker as compared to 2000. And the spids were blocking themselves not other spids.
Thanks for the help.

Does "Alter Index All Rebuild" rebuild just the tree level of the index? Or does it also rebuild the leaf level like reorganize?
Thanks and God Bless,

If you perform an Alter Index All without the FillFactor (example below) and the previous fill factor for the table and it's index were (80%), will the fillfactor be set to the previous value (80) or the sql server default index fill factor value (0 or 100%)?
ALTER INDEX ALL ON [Sales Header] REBUILD
WITH (SORT_IN_TEMPDB=ON, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE=OFF)
Thanks,

I was checking out an indexes property via SQL 2005 Management Studioand it looks like I can move the index to other filegroups via thedrop down.I checked the BOL ALTER INDEX and I didnt see an argument for thisaction. I see stuff about PARTITION, but I think that is for rowpartitioning??I want to move existing indexes from the PRIMARY filegroup to a newfile group just for indexes, which is called INDEXES.Can this be done via ALTER INDEX or some other way?TIARob

I have created a stored procedure in msdb that will accept a database name and then rebuild non-clustered indexes in that database.
I placed the sp in msdb since msdb is where most job-related information is stored.
The sp identifies non-clustered indexes whose avg fragmentation exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and then runs the following statement for each index in the resulting subset:
SET @str_sql = 'ALTER INDEX ' + @str_index + ' ON ' + @str_object + ' REBUILD '
EXEC sp_executesql @str_sql
where @str_index is the name of the index and @str_object is the name of the object (view, table).
Clearly, I need to revise the statement so that it refers to the appropriate database.
Is there a way to execute 'alter index ... rebuild' so that it points to a database other than the current?
Thanks.

I have read through BOL but am still confused by the above sql. I think it rebuilds all indexes on a table. Am I correct? (If so, if would seem to be a good thing to run it nightly on all tables in all databases. Or maybe that is too extreme)

In SQL Server 2000 one could DBReindex every index that exists in a given database. You can do the same in SQL Server 2005. But how can this be done with the new Alter Index command? It does not allow me to pass in a variable for the object. Any ideas on how to get this done in with Alter Index in 2005? Thanks!
This I can't get to work:
DECLARE
@TableName nvarchar(100)
SET @TableName = 'Account'
USE database;
GO
ALTER INDEX ALL ON @TableName
REBUILD
GO
USE RZTQ5OL02
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT Name from sys.sysobjects where type = 'U'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor

I do a lot of index maintenance and started testing rebuilding my indexes with the ONLINE option, but noticed an increase in record size by 14 bytes. The issue I have is that for each index you build the ONLINE option, you add 14 bytes for row. After the index rebuild is done, normal transaction updates drop the additional 14 bytes.
The act of adding and dropping 14 bytes would cause fragmentation and uncompressed data. Is this correct or do I have something wrong?

I am using sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats to identify indexes that need to be rebuilt based on a fragmentation limit. Once identified, I execute and ALTER INDEX... REBUILD on the index. If the index is clustered, only that index gets rebuilt for the table. After all the indexes are complete, I receive a report on the indexes that were rebuilt in the databases and what level of fragmentation the index was at before rebuilt. After checking these indexes, I still see that all the Primary Key indexes are still at the same fragmentation level. I run the process again and it does not change. I updated table usage and also ran update statistics after running the rebuild again, but the fragmentation does not change. Why can€™t these PK Clustered indexes be rebuilt as expected? Do I need to drop and recreate the PK before this fragmentation changes?

I thought I would delve into index fragmentation and I found somegreat sql from many posters (thanks Erland!).My question is how bad is bad? I know this is very subjective.Some scripts I found would reindex if the LogicalFragmenation is over30%.I have some tables that are 98% (I'm guessing really bad). I know itall depends..more as a learning point: I found a table that had over 30%logicalfragmentation, I dropped the indexes, created then ran thescript that used type code segment:'DBCC SHOWCONTIG(' + @TableName + ') WITH TABLERESULTS, ALL_INDEXES,NO_INFOMSGS')In one case, the indexes for the table dropped below 30%, in anothercase the index was still fragmented ever after I dropped and re-created index.SQL Server 2005 x64 SP2This is the script I am running (I found this in another thread thatErland posted):SET NOCOUNT ONUSE ds_v6_sourceDECLARE @TableName VARCHAR(100)-- Create a table to hold the results of DBCC SHOWCONTIGIF OBJECT_ID('Tempdb.dbo.#Contig') IS NOT NULLDROP TABLE #ContigCREATE TABLE #Contig ([ObjectName] VARCHAR(100), [ObjectId] INT,[IndexName]VARCHAR(200),[IndexId] INT, [Level] INT, [Pages] INT , [Rows] INT ,[MinimumRecordSize] INT,[MaximumRecordSize] INT , [AverageRecordSize] INT,[ForwardedRecords] INT ,[Extents] INT, [ExtentSwitches] INT, [AverageFreeBytes]NUMERIC(6,2),[AveragePageDensity] NUMERIC(6,2), [ScanDensity]NUMERIC(6,2) ,[BestCount] INT ,[ActualCount] INT , [LogicalFragmentation] NUMERIC(6,2) ,[ExtentFragmentation] NUMERIC(6,2) )DECLARE curTables CURSOR STATIC LOCALFORSELECT Table_NameFROM Information_Schema.TablesWHERE Table_Type = 'BASE TABLE'OPEN curTablesFETCH NEXT FROM curTables INTO @TableNameSET @TableName = RTRIM(@TableName)WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0BEGININSERT INTO #Contig EXEC('DBCC SHOWCONTIG(' + @TableName + ') WITHTABLERESULTS, ALL_INDEXES, NO_INFOMSGS')FETCH NEXT FROM curTables INTO @TableNameENDCLOSE curTablesDEALLOCATE curTables

On a 2008r2 server, I ran the frag utility against master and msdb and noticed they were severely fragmented.
Is it ok to defrag them using the standard Alter Index command?

I'm working on re-indexing a table using some commands from ALTER INDEX REBUILD from Microsoft. The indexes will be tested for threshold fragmentation. my plan is once the reindex is executed, a transaction backup will occur while controlling the size of the log file. Â The query impose time limitations or stop reindexing after the specified amount of time has elapsed.
my question,
1. How can I integrate a query which checks if transaction log is getting full and which runs a Tlog backup if over 70%
2. How do I impose time limitation?

Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;

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.

Dear All.
We had Teradata 4700 SMP. We have moved data from TD to MS_SQL SERVER 2003. records are 19.65 Millions.
table is >> Order_Dtl
Columns are:-
Client_ID varchar 10
Order_ID varchar 50
Order_Sub_ID decimal
.....
...
..
.
Pk is (ClientID+OrderId+OrderSubID)
Web Base application or PDA devices use to initiate the order from all over the country. The issue is this table is not Partioned but good HP with 30 GB RAM is installed. this is main table that receive 18,0000 hits or more. All brokers and users are using this table to see the status of their order.
The always search by OrderID, or ClientID or order_SubNo, or enter any two like (Client_ID+Order_Sub_ID) or any combination.
Query takes to much time when ever server receive more querys. some orther indexes are also created on the same table like (OrderDate, OrdCreate Date and Status)
My Question are:-
Q1. IF Person "A" query to DB on Client_ID, then what Index will use ? (If any one do Query on any two combination like Client_ID+Order_ID, So what index will be uesd.? How does MS-SQL SERVER deal with these kind of issues.?
Q2. If i create 3 more indexes on ClientID, ORderID and OrdersubID. will this improve the performance of query.if person "A" search record on orderNo so what index will be used. (Mind it their would be 3 seprate indexes for Each PK columns) and composite-Clustered index is also available.?
Q3. I want to check what indexes has been used? on what search?
Q4. How can i check what table was populated when, or last date of update (DML)?
My Limitation is i Dont Create a Partioned table. I dont have permission to do it.
In Teradata we had more than 4 tb record of CRM data with no issue. i am not new baby in db line but not expert in sql server 2003.
I am thank u to all who read or reply.

i select category1 category2 and category3 with select code but i have just one index.. it is productnumber and it is primarykey..So my select code lines is so slow.. it is 7-9 second.. how can i select in 0.1 second ? Should i create index for category1 and category2 and category3 ? But i dont know create index.. My select code lines is below.. Could you learn me and show me index for it ?? or Could you learn me and show me fast Select code lines and index or etc ???

Hi,
I'm running a merge replication on a sql2k machine to 6 sql2k subscribers.
Since a few day's only one of the merge agents fail's with the following error:
The merge process could not retrieve generation information at the 'Subscriber'.
The index entry for row ID was not found in index ID 3, of table 357576312, in database 'PBB006'.
All DBCC CHECKDB command's return 0 errors :confused:
I'm not sure if the table that's referred to in the message is on the distribution side or the subscribers side? A select * from sysobjects where id=357576312 gives different results on both sides . .
Any ideas as to what is causing this error?

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

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?

Quick question about the primary purpose of Full Text Index vs. Clustered Index.
The Full Text Index has the purpose of being accessible outside of the database so users can query the tables and columns it needs while being linked to other databases and tables within the SQL Server instance.
Is the Full Text Index similar to the global variable in programming where the scope lies outside of the tables and database itself?
I understand the clustered index is created for each table and most likely accessed within the user schema who have access to the database.
Is this correct?
I am kind of confused on why you would use full text index as opposed to clustered index.
Thank you

Hi All,
I 'm working to improve some sql performance.
One of the major syntax inside the SELECT statment is ..
WHERE FIELDA IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='A') AND
WHERE FIELDB IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='B') AND
WHERE FIELDC IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='C') AND
WHERE FIELDD IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='D') AND
WHERE FIELDE IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='E') AND
WHERE FIELDF IN (SELECT PARAVALUE FROM PARATABLE WHERE SESSIONID = "XXXXX" AND PARATYPE='F')
(It's to compare the field content with some user input parameter inside a parameter table... )
I think properly is that the SELECT ... IN is causing much slowness in the sql statement. I have indexed FIELDA , FIELDB, FILEDC etc and those PARAVALUE and PARATYPE in the PARATABLE table. But perfromance is still slow and execution takes >20 seconds for 200000 rows of records.
Do any one know if still any chance to improvide the performance like this?
Much Thanks,
Andy

I have a really strange problem.
I execute this query:
declare @cid int
set @cid = 2003227
select * from sales s, product p where p.product_Id = s.product_Id and customer_id = @cid
select * from sales s, product p where p.product_Id = s.product_Id and customer_id = @cid or @cid = 0
3 Million rows in sales, 120000 in product.
The first does and index seek, the second an index scan.
The execution plan reports that the scan takes 99.87% of the cost, and the seek takes 0.13%
This problem obviously gets worse the bigger the dataset / query /etc.
The reason I query this, is because it never used to take this long to do index scans. Is there something i can change, something i can fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
