SQL SERVER 2000
System let's you alter the system tables and add indexes. However, it won't
let you drop the index afterward.
Anybody know how to drop an index on a system table?
Thanks,
Kevin

You don't say which table or what error you get, but in any case Microsoft
does not support any modifications to system tables, so the best option is
probably to restore from a backup. If you can post more detailed
information, then someone may have a better suggestion, but in general you
shouldn't touch system tables at all.

And further more, with some of the tables, it may appear you've succeeded,
but in reality nothing has changed, or upon a restart things were the way
they started. sysjobs I believe is one such derived table.

I have an ERP application which constantly scans the sysobjects table for
xtype ''U'. I was attempting to speed up this particular SELECT statement
by adding an index to the xtype column (which seemed like a good idea at the
time). I ran a DBCC CHECKDB and it threw msg's 8951 and 8955. I actually
came across the problem when I tried to apply the script referenced in KB
293177 when it failed to complete.
I'm currently working on restoring the database into a new schema to resolve
the issue.

It is dubious that even if sysobjects would be a normal table that this
would be a good thing to do. The column may not be selective enough.
In any case, in the next version of SQL Server, SQL 2005 which currently
is in beta, there is no longer any sysobjects table. There is a sysobjects
view which is built on top of the new catalog views, which in their turn
are built on tables that are not exposed at all.
I actually came across the problem when I tried to apply the
script referenced in KB 293177 when it failed to complete.
I have no tried that script, but it may be that you should throw in an
INSENSITIVE before CURSOR.

There seems to be two ways to put things on the clipboard ( I don't mean

If I want to get data off the clipboard do I care how it was put there?
What about Drag/Drop; is there more than one way for the source to make data
available
Is it always OLE?

Hi,
I found this SQL in the news group to drop indexs in a table. I need a
script that will drop all indexes in all user tables of a given
database:

DECLARE tableIndexes CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM sysindexes

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.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
