Hi,
I want to find out what is a good way to identify indexes that need
rebuilding. I tried to run DBCC showcontig and identify them based on
the scan density %. And according to a Microsoft Tech Net - All About
SQL Server Indexes discussion, the expert stated that based on the
Density (below 20%), I can pick out those indexes associated to the
table and run DBCC INDEXDEFRAG. But instead, I ran DBCC DBREINDEX to
rebuild all indexes associated to the specific table. The strange part
is that some tables, which have 20% or below scan density do not have
any indexes. So, I am confused!
Thanks in advance.

Check out the white paper on SQL 2000 Index Defrag Best Practices: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../ss2kidbp.mspx The strange part
is that some tables, which have 20% or below scan density do not have
any indexes. So, I am confused!
You can create an clustered index on a heap (a table with no clustered
index) in order to reorg the table. You can drop it afterward if it is not
needed. It's usually a good idea to have a clustered index on every table
unless you have a specific reason not to.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I want my application do different actions depending on the exception it
gets.
For exemple: I have an SQL-table with a unique index. In case I try to
Insert a record that's alreaddy in it I get this exception: "Cannot insert

What I'm looking for is a way to identify the exception: in case I get this

Given: A binary data file of records.
Task: Random access using seekg().
I've never found any documentation stating that the offset from begin
file marker is safe on a fragmented file. I've observed how binary
files are buffered in the past. But I have never tested against a
fragmented file. Perhaps I am paranoid or whatever. Maybe
fragmentation is no worse than changing tracks on the drive?

After rebuilding an index, it still shows as the same amount of
fragmentation. ANy ideas what's wrong?
I'm determining which indexes to rebuild using the following query:
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(i.object_id) AS TableName,
i.name AS IndexName,
ips.avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL,

Hi group,
I have a table say with 10000 records and 10 columns initially, I
created an index say i1, after few days I altered the table by adding
10 new columns and 90000 rows of records summing up to 100000 records.
My doubt is regarding the index is Do I have to create a new index ? or
can I use the same index which I created first, or do I have to make
any changes to existing index like rebuild etc...?
What needs to be done for the...

Hi,
If I want to uniquely identify a computer. I can read CPU ID or Mac Address.
I heard, but is this true: some BIOS can block CPU ID from being read? (In
this case, will I get an exception, null or empty string for method
managementObject.Properties?)
So maybe Mac address is better way. But when I read Mac address for my
laptop, I got:

Hello all,
I am new to managing indexes on large tables and need some help.
Hopefully, I am not repeating question here. I searched as much as I
can, but not finding relatively best answer..
Here is my scenario.
I have 2 tables with more than 4 mil rows (1 - 2.8 Mil, 2 2.1 mil). Of
these tables, there are about 25 ( select ) queries run to help
generate reports every week.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
