  • technically very good document. please continue do more research on locks also.

  • hi am kinda new here

    can this be apllied on SQL 2000?

    thanks!

  • The code posted contains a lot of errors. Misspelled procedure names, missing columns, wrong aliases.

    I don't have time to do the error checking right now, but will post my findings/corrections later today (if it is not done by then...)

    ok thanks!

  • nice article

    "Keep Trying"

  • Code posted is very inconsistent.

    Uppercase, lowercase, schema names missing.

    Prefixes are inconsistent - sometimes "Uf_", othertimes "fn_"

    select * is naughty unless you need the full result set...

    When using the "EXISTS" keyword you can simply "SELECT 1 WHERE ...."

  • When trying to bring your functions to 'life', I changed the proc_FilltblIndexUsageInfo

    ALTER Proc [dbo].[proc_FilltblIndexUsageInfo]

    AS

    Begin

    Truncate table tblIndexUsageInfo

    insert into tblIndexUsageInfo

    select db_name(db_id()) DbName,

    so.name as 'TableName',

    ISNULL(si.name,'No Index') as IndexName,

    si.index_id,

    Case When is_primary_key=1 then 'Primary Key Constraint'

    Else 'Index' End ConstraintType,

    si.type_desc,

    dbo.Uf_GetIndexCol(si.index_id,so.object_id,0) As IndexKeyColumn,

    dbo.Uf_GetIndexCol(si.index_id,so.object_id,1) As IncludedCols,

    spi.user_seeks,spi.user_scans,spi.user_lookups,spi.user_updates,

    (user_seeks+user_scans+user_lookups+user_updates) as 'IndexUsage ',

    dbo.Uf_GetIndexSize(si.index_id,so.object_id) 'IndexSizeKB',

    Cast(

    (user_seeks+user_scans+user_lookups+user_updates)/

    dbo.Uf_GetIndexSize(si.index_id,so.object_id) As decimal(10,2))

    As IndexUsagetoSizeRatio

    from sys.objects so inner join sys.indexes si

    on so.object_id=si.Object_id

    inner join sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats spi

    on spi.Object_id=so.Object_id

    and si.index_id=spi.index_id

    and spi.database_id=db_id()

    where so.type='u'

    END

  • The second-to-last call doesn't work due to casting problems.

    Is there a way to have something like this for SQL2000?

  • Where will the corrected code be placed? Will it be reposted? The articles topic and goals interested me, but the problems trying to get it to work are very frustrating.

  • Agreed. Also, index reorgs can somtimes wreak havoc with TL shipping. I haven't had the chance to completely finish these scripts due to time constraints. Is anybody else having an issue with Uf_GetIndexSize?

  • The fixed code... I am not sure if it runs but I can create all the objects.

    Over 12yrs in IT and 10yrs happily stuck with SQL.
    - SQL 2008/R2/2012/2014/2016/2017
    - Oracle 8/9/10/11
    - MySQL 4/5 and MariaDB

  • I'd like to mention that the article is really great and the errors in the script are solveable. The one with the wrong column-name was tricky, the rest just a little doing. I already created a lot of new indexes in my databases today 🙂
