Primary Key Index?
May 17, 1999Running SQL 6.5, using ActiveX controls(ADO and Datagrid),NT 4.0. All SP's
are current.
I lose the ability to get distinct values with a client-side cursor
after I set up a primary key. Select distinct works perfect before the
primary key creates an index. Any ideas?
Primary Key Index
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.
Cheers

View 10 Replies View RelatedPrimary 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.

Rda Dropping Primary Key Index
May 2, 2007I am using RDA to download a tables
I use TrackingOffWithIndexes
the issue is that when I download a small set of data the primary key index is there
when I download a larger set. the index gets dropped (no error) just slowness when querying the table
the max database size is set to 1024mb and the temp database size is set to 1024mb
the actual db size (with the missing index) is 262 mb... lot's of room left!
when I try to create the index manually after the download in sql server management studio I get this error:
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation
I am using 2GB sd cards and nothing else is on the card.
any ideas?

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

SQL Server Takes Index Instead Of Primary Key

Now when i query like
Select * from IndexTable
I expect the results as:
Id Code

as i have the clustered index on column Code.
But i m getting the results as:

as per the primary key order that is a non clustered index.
Can anyone explain why it is happening?

Question On Primary Key, Unique Index

[addr] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) 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.
Dropping Clustered Index Associated With Primary Key.

I have a huge table with million of rows, which has ONE Clustered index associated with the PRIMARY KEY, and there are some NON_Clustered indexes.
So,now i decided that, i dont need any more indexes ( not even one) on that table, but i need to maintain primary key on that table.
(a) So, how can i accomplish this (i.e.) having primay key but not having indexes on the table.
Thanks.

View 14 Replies View RelatedHow 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 am making a program in Visual Basic .NET with SQL Server 2000.
I have a table "MyTable" with a primary key named "Id". The primary key is 'Create Unique' checked and 'Index' selected. When I insert all the fields required, except "Id" of course, I need the new record's "Id" in my VisualBasic program, but I don't know how...
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")

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.

In particular, one of our people has suggested that an updatestatement contained within a stored procedure that uses a wherecondition that only touches on a column that has a clustered primaryindex on it will still cause a table lock.So, for example:UPDATE ORDERS SETprod = @product,val = @valWHERE ordid = @ordidIn this case ordid has a clustered primary index on it.Can anyone tell me if this would be the case, and if there's a way ofensuring that we are only doing a row lock on the record specified inthe where condition?Many, many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray

Id -> unique clustered index.
table two has the following fields,
Tid -> unique clustered index
Id -> foreign key of table one(id).
Now I have created primary key for the table one column 'id'. It's created as "nonclustered, unique, primary key located on PRIMARY". Primary key create clustered index default. since unique clustered index existed in table one, it has created "Nonclustered primary key".
My Question is, What is the difference between "clustered, unique, primary key" and "nonclustered, unique, primary key"? Is there any performance impact between these?
