DB Engine :: How To Convert Unique Clustered Index Into Clustered Primary Key To Use With Change Tracking
Sep 4, 2015We are going to use SQL Sever change tracking. The problem is that some of our tables, which are to be tracked, have no primary keys. There are only unique clustered indexes. The question is what is the best way to turn on change tracking for these tables in our circumstances.

Feb 4, 2015We have a table, which has one clustered index and one non clustered index(primary key). I want to drop the existing clustered index and make the primary key as clustered. Is there any easy way to do that. Will Drop_Existing support on this matter?

Primary Key Index?

I lose the ability to get distinct values with a client-side cursor

Index And Primary Key
Dec 9, 2004By defining a numeric field in table as primary key, will the table be indexed on that particular field?

Apr 1, 2004Hi,
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.

Primary Key With Cluster Index
Oct 9, 2007Hi 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

Primary Key With Non-clustered Index
Dec 11, 2007Dear 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.

Index Statistics And A Primary Key
Sep 5, 2007Hi
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

Change Primary Key In One Of Tables
May 26, 2015I have inherited a SQL Server Database that has three tables related to one another. The DB uses a Access 2013 front end. I know access fairly well, but am not all that competent when it comes to SQL Server. I am using SQL Server Management Studio 12. I need to change the primary key in one of the tables. When I do so, I get the message illustrated below. How can I get around this?
I did find the place where there is a table option of "Prevent Saving changes that require table re-creation". However, there seems to be a lot of comments that indicate it should not be turned off. If I don't turn it off, how can I
make the changes to the table?

Can anyone explain why it is happening?

Question On Primary Key, Unique Index

) 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.

How To Keep DataTable's Primary Index In Sync With Database?
May 12, 2008I'm working with a legacy database whose structure I cannot change. I'm building a web-based editor for one of the DB's tables. This table has a Primary Key called "Master_Idx" that is an Identity (autonumber) field.To start, I query the DB and populate a data table which is cached. This is used to "feed" the web form. Any additions, changes, and deletions are reflected in this cached table.The user then has the flexibility to press Save at any time, which ensures that the database is modified accordingly.Here's my question:When new records are added, I assign them a Master_Idx value, the first of which was calculated to be 1 + the Max(Master_Idx) value when the editing session started. But when I insert these records back into the database it's possible that another user might have also been doing similar editing (of different records from the same table), so there's no guarantee that the Master_Idx values in the data table will be identical to those in the DB. When I insert a record from the cached table back into the DB, what technique can I use to check what value was assigned to the Master_Idx? If it's not the same as in the cached table then I need to update it locally in a few places.I hope all of this makes sense but if it doesn't then let me know and I'll explain it in another way.Robert W.

I must do one of them, but don't know how either of them:
-Create a trigger on insertion that will send to the user that sended the insert command the "Id" of the record just created.
or
-get the command in Visual Basic that will send the Insert command with a return field ("Id")

Change Nc-index To C-index?
Jun 29, 2004Found out a while back that my facts-tabel has an non-clustered index on its facts_id. In a bunch of procedures an update is executed against a facts_id unfortunately on it's facts-table. I was wondering if changing it into a clustered index is worth the effort / would make sense considering a +110 million facts and re-indexing the other indexes as well? Facts are loaded sequentially, so I would suspect them facts are in the ordered already?

I need to perform first, my observation is there is no primary key. when i run any complex query into this table it takes huge time and sometimes shows transaction deadlock error.
