DBCC Reindex
Feb 19, 2002Hi guys.
I an application here developed by a third party software house.
In the past, for some reason, the database would fail daily. The software
house recommended that we use dbcc reindex on all tables within the
databases twice daily. This was scheduled and is now running. Now the
database no longer fails.
The fix works and I don't understand why.
I don't understand why this would fix the problem. Why would reindex
twice daily solve the problem.
It seems excessive to have to reindex every user table twice daily.

DBCC REINDEX
Apr 26, 2001I tried to run dbcc reindex on all user tables in a database. There are no
clustered indexes, but multiple non-clustered indexes on each table.
The output file from dbcc reindex shows that it should have worked. But when I
run DBCC SHOWCONTIG, the scan density of the indexes that were in bad shape did
not improve.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Is Any Way To Reindex 27 Gig Db Without Logging
Sep 25, 2002Hello everybody.
1. I have 28 Gig database with 4 tables above 4 Gig each with very bad
fragmenataion, each table has between 3 and 5 indexes
2. Database set for full recovery and I use custom log Shipping to restore
db on stand by server every 15 min.
I tried to run DBCC INDEXDEFRAG on one index on 4Gig table .
following took place
1. It took 4 hrs to complite DBCC INDEXDEFRAG
2. log shipping fail.
3. log file size of 2 Gig generated after DBCC INDEXDEFRAG complited
I tried to run drop and create clustered index on table it create same
problem - log growing, log shipping fails
(if log shipping fails and stand by database get suspended it will take 6- 8
hrs to restore it from backup and apply all logs)
So my question is
What would be best way to rebuild- reindex - defragment 28 Gig database
when it set to fully recovery and log shipping
Thank you

SQL Import And Reindex
May 1, 2008I have a process that runs each day and it imports about 550K records into a database. My questions is it appears I have to reindex the database after each import otherwise the sp's that I have written will just run and run and run. After the reindex job things run within 60 seconds. I am just looking for some insight on why, I understand why a reindex is done, but dont know if I understand why I have to reindex every time.

Jul 12, 2007Hi experts, I would like to ask for this error that occurs upon executing my reindexing script
here is my script
USE mydatabase
DBCC DBREINDEX('outpatient', '', 70)
go
Then this error message will appear. I researched for this error and from the site that I've found they say that the table is corrupted? That I need to restore a better backup..?

Defrag / Reindex
Oct 21, 2007I#ve been doing disaster recovery on a web box that died today.
So I thought I'd do some "downtime" maintenance on the DB server
I ran a BDREINDEX on all tables, all indexes. (I know this is the 2000 way, but I assume its as good as the proper 2005 way??).
5 minutes on a 10GB database. Not bad!
I checked the DEFRAG and UPDATE STATS processes that run overnight.
They are basically defragging only tables with SHOWCONTIG indicating fragmentation. And then doing an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN on all tables
That is taking an average of 30 minutes ...
Is DBREINDEX the equivalent of an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN, or is it in some way a smaller-sample version?
I'm wondering why I don't just lock the DB and do a REINDEX of everything in 5 minutes ...

Question On Reindex
Sep 27, 2006Hi,i have several tables in production whose contents are renewd totally in 1week. So everyd day we delete ~15% records and then insert 15% new.And after a few days, the performances drops :TABLE level scan performed.- Pages Scanned................................: 169617- Extents Scanned..............................: 21630- Extent Switches..............................: 153827- Avg. Pages per Extent........................: 7.8- Scan Density [Best Count:Actual Count].......: 13.78% [21203:153828]- Logical Scan Fragmentation ..................: 45.06%- Extent Scan Fragmentation ...................: 52.66%- Avg.

Page Density (full).....................: 37.70%I can't program a dbcc reindex every day because of concurrent access (itlocks the tables too long), actually i can only program it on sunday.What else can i do ? I can adjust the fill factor but how to find the goodvalue if i don't want to waste space.The total size of the database is ~150GB.Thx

Oct 2, 2001I am currently running the Back Office Resource Kit Log shipping option for a database running on an SQL 7 installation. As part of the on-going maintenance work that we are being asked to perform by the application vendor I need to run a DBCC REINDEX run on most of the tables in the database. Currently this is done by stopping the log shipping routine and then running the reindex script, then taking a full backup and restoring the backup to the secondary server then restarting the log shipping scripts. This is a very time consuming task that has to be performed at unsociable hours.
Has anybody got an opinion as to if this would work at the same time as the log shipping scripts or do I have to continue as at present.
Responses gratefully received.

Update Statistics Vs. Reindex
Dec 14, 1999I am maintaining a large table with millions of rows that has two non clustered indexes and data changing frequently, I need to keep the indexes fresh. Update Statistics runs much quicker than Reindex. What is the appropriate situation for each and why?
Thanks in advance.
Disk Space After Reindex
Nov 29, 2007All,
I first ran indexdefrag on a table with 1.5 billion rows.
logical fragmentation was at 95%.
logical frag went down to 3% with no real effect on disk.
DBCC reindex had previously been bombing undetected.
Now I've run a reindex on this table:
Reindex Job with Fillfactor =100
Ran in 3:05
Free Disk went from ~150GB before operation to 49GB
File4 went from 347GB to 504GB
Why has so much free disk been consumed by this operation and not released ??????????
Is my only choice to shrink data file???
thanks

Food For Thought (ReIndex And Log Shipping)
Dec 29, 2003I have a production 60GB database set to Full Recovery and every 15 minutes I am log shipping to a Stand by Server .
During the production hours there are no problems but at night when I run DBCC DBREINDEX, the log grows to 22GB and because of this I have a problem sending this over the network to the stand by server.
I tried changing the recovery model to Bulk_Logged but the there is no difference in log file backup size.
AnyIdea

Dbcc Reindex Issue - - I Don't Understand!!
Jun 26, 2006Hi Folks,SQL Server 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000. I have a database on which I ranthe command :dbcc dbreindex ('tablename')gofor all tables in the database. Then I compared the dbcc showcontigwith all_index output from before and after the reindex and on thelargest table in the database I found this. First output is prior toreindex:Table: 'PlannedTransferArchive' (1975014117); index ID: 1, database ID:7TABLE level scan performed.- Pages Scanned................................: 184867- Extents Scanned..............................: 23203- Extent Switches..............................: 23324- Avg.

Ididn't specify the fill factor in the dbcc reindex command so it shouldhave used the default fill factor. The fill factor has never beenchanged on this machine.Am I missing something?Thanks,Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes Dbcc Reindex Update Usage Information?
Feb 3, 2000Does running DBCCReindex update the space allocated columns in sysindexes? I understand that running dbcc updateusage updates the space allocated columns in the sysindexes table. But, I cannot find any documentation that indicates whether dynamically rebuilding the indexes as opposed to drop and recreating the indexes updates the space allocated columns in the sysindexes table?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks.

Error 1105 When Using SQLMaint To Reindex Tables
Apr 22, 2004I have a standard reorganise/reindex job running against a 32GB database on SQl Srever 2000. When trying to run the job it fails and returns Error 1105 <'PRIMARY' filegroup is full>. What's confusing me is that I have 53GB free on the drive on which my Primary file group sits.
Has anyone else come accross this problem when trying to set up a regular reindex job?
(more detail) the maintenance plan only includes the reorganisation/reindex job, no other jobs - including backing up the DB - are included. The DB in question is the only DB on the server: it's a test server.
SQL Server 2008 :: Table Size After Reindex
Feb 22, 2015I'm trying to understand what is happening to one large table.
In a DB SQL 2008R2, I'm trying to track a rapidly increasing DB size. It's due to one table recently added.
Despite the table's no rows increasing its size reduces after a scheduled re-index.
I've recorded the space used by this table by recording EXEC sp_spaceused 'tableName'
---
NoRows reserved data index_size unused
128864512300384 KB 2290928 KB9432 KB24 KB AFTER reindex
128864515406232 KB 5366184 KB39280 KB768 KBBEFORE reindex
N.B. The only thing I'm aware of happening in the time period is a reindex as part of scheduled task. I could be missing something else happening.
The table has only one Index the PK which is clustered, No Fill factor is specified. The Server Default fill factor =0.
I read fillfactor=0=100 Will always try and fill the pages so space used will be minimised?
After running the reindex the index fragmentation is v.low. I've not recorded the fragmentation before reindex.
I can see the Data is not added in Clustered index order.
SQL 2012 :: Weekly Reindex Job Failed Because Of Deadlock

SQL Server 2008 :: Alter Column And Reindex 100M Row Table?
Jun 3, 2015I inherited a system which has an index on a set of columns which allow more than 900 bytes of data in it. We know one of the fields can be shortened to shrink the potential key size below 900 bytes.
The problem is the table is about 120m rows, and the index currently on that column is seeked (sought?) on about 2.5m times a day.
At its simplest, I want to drop the existing index, alter the column to shrink the varchar size, and then rebuild the index on the newly shortened column.
On a smaller, less used table, I might just do this in outside of business hours and call it a day, but I'm concerned that this will take a long time and block a lot of operations.
1) IIRC, shrinking a column, unlike widening it, is much more expensive, even if there are no values which would actually end up trunacted. Is this right?
2) I did a few tests on some other smaller (2+ m) row tables and was still able to select data out of the table. I don't think this covered all the read scenarios, but are there known scenarios which would simply not work during an index build?
3) I haven't yet tried DML operations to the table while it's doing either the column update or an index build. what scenarios would or would not be blocked?
