Rebuilding Full Text Indexes
Sep 14, 2006
Aight, so I added a full text catalog and a full text index for one specific column and table in my database.
Now the issue is, whenever I rebuild it, it locks the full text index forever, making it unsuable. Now, there are only 30,000 records i need to search, so it isn't like there is this massive amount of data. What am I doing wrong to where it is locking the index and disallowing me to use the stored procedure that does the searching?

We have a table that is Full Text Search index enabled on one column.This table has 200 lakhs of rows(20000000) . ContainsTable() function is searching data with in these 200 lakhs of rows(20000000), if any new rows are inserted then the ContainsTable is not going to search in these recent inserted rows.
We observed when we try for a data to search. it is returning the rows till the rows that are inserted date is less than 30th of march 2012. but not searching in the records that are created after April month , if even the data we are searching is available .
TableFulltextItemCount is around 2.2 crores.
Then we done rebuilt the FT catalog Index. then the TableFulltextItemCount became 0.Again we run the containstable query ,but still it is not getting results.
As the no of rows are very more . so i am not able to show the actual rows from which the data is not coming.
the below query gives 2 results that are from actual base table
HTML Code:
select * from g_case_action_log where cas_details like '%235355%' and product_id = 38810
To search for the same above word using FTS,I have used the query as below
HTML Code:
SELECT Distinct top 50 cal.case_id,cal.cas_details From g_case_action_log cal (READUNCOMMITTED)inner join containstable(es.g_case_action_log, cas_details, ' ("235355" OR "<br>235355" OR "235355<br> ") ') as key_tbl on cal.log_id = key_tbl.[key] Where cal.product_id = 38810 ORDER By cal.case_id DESC
I have attached one sql script file for your ref that contains create logic and index schema properties
Why it is not returning results all the time.

Im reading this article http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administration/2987/ as im about to take databases from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
1. We will backup and restore all databases.
2. Set Mode to 90
3. Update Statictics DBCC UPDATEUSAGE (Databasename)
How do i see if i have full text indexes on database.
Any other steps missed?
Thanks

I want my users to input a query, say "milk cheese or sprite" but I am unsure of how I need to parse it out and what special considerations I need to make for it... Does anyone know of any prewritten packages that will format the query correctly before i send it off to my stored procedure? or should i just not worry about it at all and send the text straight to the SP

I've created a test database with a test table containing just a primary key and a text column. I entered a few records in the table. Then, I built a full text index on the database, specifying my text column. I then launched a full population of the index. The server seems to work, which is confirmed by the info in the property window of the index. But when it has finished working, the index seems empty. My queries return no error, but they also return no data.
Does anyone know what I forgot to do??
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
i am using full text search in stored procedure for my web application search-engine.
how do i refresh my fulltext indexes which i created using unique indexes?
as i can see two options tart full population and Start Incremental population in full-text index on right click of table.
on click of anyone its showing successful.
can anyone please let me know what is the standard way to refresh full text indexes periodically in terms of best performance?? i found, when i run query first time with contains keyword , it takes much time.
what enterprise settings required to increase performance??
Thanks in advance.

I have made a full text catalog for my article table, and enabled "change tracking" and "update in background", this works just the way its supposed to work, a little delay before I can search in the entered text, but thats not a problem.
The Problem is when I restart the server, then it forgets the things it has indexed in the background, and it doesnt seem to enable the "update in background"-feature, before I manually starts population the first time.
How can I set it to start population on server startup, and remember the things it indexes in the background?

I'm still trying to understand the frequency needed for running incremental updates for full-text catalogs. A consultant requested a full population be run every day at 5:00pm and incrementals be run every 3 minutes. My question for you is if I change the incremental frequency to every hour, wouldn't data changes still be available to the application between incrementals? Isn't the purpose of the incremental simply to update the full-text index so therefor its benefit is in terms of performance, not data availability. The consultant seams to think any updates made between incrementals will not be available to the application until an incremental is run.
Thanks, Dave

I have a table that is in a one way transactional publication. I need to create a full-text catalog on this table and have that catalog exist on the subscriber as well. I understand simply creating a FTC for an object in a publication will not cause that FTC to be replicated to the subscribers. I have scripted out the command and tried to use sp_addscriptexec to push it to the subscriber. When I do this, I get the following error:
Last 183 characters in 'sqlcmd' output buffer: Changed database context to 'database'.
Msg 574, Level 16, State 1, Server SQLSERVER, Line 2
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG statement cannot be used inside a user transaction.
Also, when this script is run directly from the subscriber, it works fine (but since the subscriber is our production machine, I'd prefer to not have to do it that way). I believe I can reinitialize the publication and have the FTC pushed to the subscriber, but this is not ideal either, since some of our databases can be very large and take a long time to initialize.
Is there a better way to accomplishing this other then connecting directly to the subscriber and running the script or by reinitializing the publication? Thanks for your help!

Hi!
I was wondering what kind of locks (if any) SQL Server 2000 holds on tables while rebuilding clustered and non-clustered indexes.

Do anyone know how to rebuild indexes on the maintenance plan??
I would like to automate rebuilding my indexes on the database about once every month.
I know you can manually do this by using DBCC DBREINDEX. This is to long and tedious.
Thanks in advance!

All,
I have scheduled dbreindex command to run on an clustered indexed on a very large table over night, so far this as failed to complete successfully. I think it may have something to do with the amount of space available in the device; the table is approx 238mb in size and the available disk space left in the device is 200 mb.
Does anyone know how much space is required to reindex a table/index this size and if it is required on the same device as the table or in tempdb.
Or even better, if anyone can explain the inter-workings of how the dbreindex command reorgs the table.
Thanks Mathew

Hello all,
I need to diagnose a problem, this Sunday a regular Database Maintenance plan which is supposed to rebuild indexes took exactly 6 hours and 32 minutes. Now that’s a hell lot of time and during all that process users were denied access to those tables. This is a production server. I want to know what caused that plan to run for so long and how can I avoid this to happen again plus if it ever happens again how can I make sure that atleast it doesn’t lock tables. I know DBCC INDEXDEFRAG doesn’t lock tables but how can I make Database Maintenance plan to run DBCC INDEXDEFRAG instead of DBCC DBREINDEX but more importantly why it took 6 hours.
Thanks all

Hello,
I'm new to rebuilding and reorg indexes. I used the standard report feature in 2005 to look up Index Physical Statistics on one db. I found recommendation to rebuild a few indexes that contain a number of fragments. I created a maint. task, I know maint. tasks are not a cure-all but so far I am just testing the waters. I created two tasks, one to rebuild and another to reorg. After I ran the job, I looked at the report and it still showed recommendation to rebuild the indexes. What is a better solution for my case?

Hi,
I have recenlty had to rebuild the indexes for the entire database as they were running a little slow. It prompted me to further investigate the health of the indexes on the database. I have been using the sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats view to do this. I had a query with regards to the avg_fragmentation_in_percent column that the view displays. I have rebuilt all the indexes and for some of the indexes the fragmentation value remains the same. The following is an example of what is returned by the sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats for a single index:
Table, IndexName, avg_fragmentation_in_percent, avg_page_space_used_in_percent
Links, PK_Links, 77.7777777777778, 97.1501606127996
Links, PK_Links, 0, 1.42080553496417
I do not understand why this index the fragmentation is so high even though I have rebuilt it. It is not just this index it occurs for other indexes as well. What could be some of the factors that are causing this to occur?

HiI got the advice to rebuild the indexes on the databases once a year.Espesially if the database have grown much. The question is: How do Ido that?If I try to run the indexscript wich was run when the databases werecreated, I only get the message that the indexes already exists.Are there a command to automatically rebuild the indexesautomatically?Roger

Currently we are facing some performance issue while accessing the archive data from the archive tables. the archive table is hugh and it contains around 100,000,000 records and this archive table is being used in few reports and in our commission cycles too. since we are facing performance issues we are rebuilding index once in a week on all the indexes on this archive table.
We have 1 clustered index and 5 non clustered indexes, every time when we rebuild all these indexes on this table it is taking more time, more often rebuilding the clustered index itself is taking approx. 1hr which is consuming more time. wanted to know is there any useful to rebuild clustered indexes or not, if yes then what would be the better way. if not then do we need to rebuild only non clustered indexes.

Hi all,
When I am rebuilding the indexes on the tables, I am getting lot of free space( unallocated) on the database.
Before rebuilding the indexes , the size of the database = 385 Gb
After rebuilding the indexes, the size jumps to = 572 Gb (i.e.) This means 187 Gb of unallocated space .
The Command use to rebuild indexes is:
USE [databasename]
GO
ALTER INDEX [PK_index] ON [dbo].[tablename] REBUILD WITH
( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON, ONLINE = OFF )
GO
So, every time we rebuild indexes, we have to shrink the database
(or)
Is there anything else ,I should be doing.
Thanks.

I have come across a database system which isn't designed to work optimally. It is fairly large (~400GB) and performance of loading and querying is degrading (improper data types, fragmented indexes, non unique clustering key and other problems). So, I have quite a task in front of me, but I am up for the challenge. I figure this is not a unique situation, many of us would have come across this before. I have done this before too, but only for smaller databases, some of the operations here I expect to take a couple of hours or more to complete (depending on load/infrastructure speed etc, I know).
My plan is thus:
+ Take a full backup of the database
+ Set the recovery model of the DB to simple
+ Drop non clustered indexes
+ Drop clustered indexes
+ Remove PKs (wrong data types, too large!)
+ Narrow data types (add new column, update column in batches to old value, rename new column to old column)
+ Add PKs, which will create clustered indexes automatically based on PK ID
+ Create non clustered indexes
+ Run a SHRINKDB (normal operations I would never do this, but this is a special case, ensure log file is truncated to a logical size especially after all those table modifications...)
+ Set the recovery model of the DB to Full
+ Ensure everything works OK or better

I am trying to automate my index rebuild and reorg based off of the percentage of fragmentation level. The first time you run it you have to change the alter proce Sp_NCRNRecreate then change it to Alter proc. It seems to run okay no errors but it doesn't seem to actually rebuild them. Please take a look and let me know if you see a program error somewhere. I would like create this sp to run automatically

I'm using SQL Server 2005 SP1 Standard.
On the Rebuild Index Task there is a checkbox at the bottom that says 'Keep index online while reindexing'.
Great I thought, I'll check that.
Later, when I tested the job, I got this error:
'Online index operations can only be performed in Enterprise edition of SQL Server.'
Why have that checkbox available to check, if I'm running a version that doesn't allow it? Where's the bug?
Thanks

Hi,
We have a client that has a large (5Gb) database replicated to 13 subscribers, the publisher is Sql 2005, the subscribers are Sql Express. The publication has as few filtered articles too. I have found that after several months of continuous running Replication Monitor is taking a long time to report history on each subscriber.
Do people tend to rebuild the indexes on the system merge replication tables on production servers, or should the standard replication jobs take care of this?
Thanks for your help

I've been trying to get a definitive answer to this question but alas I have conflicting and patchy answers so far from other sources. I have an index that, lets say, requires 10GB of data space to rebuild..This index resides on a filegroup that spans 2 files on two seperate drives (i.e. a mdf and ndf)
When I rebuild this index how will each of these datafiles grow as the rebuild proceeds to completion? Lets for the time being remove the caveats of any other activity hitting the example index/database in question.My tests seem to show that only the mdf will grows (or the file with the lowest id in the that filegroup) provided there is enough space available in that particular file to complete the operation. The secondary ndf dat file doesnt grow at all if the mdf has enough space.
Is expected behavior? i.e. the index will be rebuilt in a contiguous manner relative to the files contained with the filegroup i.e. fileid 1 will grow till limit reached then next fileid grows etc?

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

Hello everyone !
I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image).
I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents.
Example:
I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed.
I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page.
Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ?
Best regards.
Yannick

I am using the following plumbing code to search a database column for a keyword. I can't use full-test indexing so I came up w/ this work around. But It has many flaws so I'm looking for a better way. Thx in advance.

'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it to all uppercase
