This article covers a few, more advanced topics about the usage of clustered indexes in SQL Server. Not only will I try to convince you of the absolute necessity of using clustered indexes, I'll also give you some tips on how to use them in a not so obvious context.

This is a simple script which would list sp_helpindex information for all the tables in the database. You dont have to provide any table name or anything. Just run it on the database from which you want to retrieve the information.This is helpful when you have several servers running the same form of DB, and […]

SQL Server 2000 has indexed views, which can greatly improve database performance. However there are a number of restrictions on building the view, including the restriction against outer joins. So how can this work? New author Jean Charles Bulinckx brings us a technique that can help you get around this restriction.

This is a stored proc that will move your indexes to two new file groups. A Cindex file group is for the clustered indexes and NCindex file group is for non clustered indexes. The parameters for this procedure are @CPATH - the path to the clustered index datafiles @NCPATH - the path to the nonclustered […]

We’ve all seen reindex procedures that rebuild all indexes in a database or all indexes in a database which have less than a specified ScanDensity. This one goes a few steps further. First, the DBA can specify a ScanDensity_Threshold (a min value for ScanDensity), plus a Limit (qty or %). If you specify a ScanDensity_Threshold […]

When it comes to auditing index use in SQL Server databases, I sometimes get overwhelmed. For example, how to do you go about auditing indexes in a database with over 1,500 tables? While auditing a single index is relatively straight-forward, auditing thousands of them in multiple databases is not an easy task. Whether the task is easy or not, it is an important task if you want to optimize the performance of your SQL Server databases.

There is nothing spectacular about using indexes per say. However, on many occasions I have come across a variety of SQL coders that never consider validating that the index they think they are using is efficient or even being used at all. We can all put indexes on the columns that we think will be required to satisfy individual queries, but how do we know if they will ever be used. You see, if the underlying table data is constructed, contains, or is ordered in a particular way, our indexes may never be used. One of the factors around the use of an index is its clustering factor and this is what this article is about.
