Because many programs I wrote depends on the SQL Agent Service and to really make sure that no one has configured this service to run manually (you see many things in life) I rely on this litle piece of code

When gathering SQL server statistics on ALL our Active SQL servers the script was failing sometime when one of our servers was not reachable for one reason or another.This script is checking if the LINKED SERVER is up and running before executing the "gathering statistics" script for this particular server.

Most of the time even after executing dbcc dbreindex script on database you won't see much improvement in application/DB performance. Thats because dbreindex creates statistics for all tables but it executes sp_updatestats which is like sample statistics. To get the maximum performance we had to execute Update statistics with fullscan on table. This simple will […]

Here's an alternative to Clinton Herring's ufn_vbintohexstr which should be much faster with large varbinary values. First, in his original version, the inner-loop CASE statements can be replaced with this: select @value = @value + CHAR(@vbin/16+48+(@vbin+96)/256*7) +CHAR(@vbin&15+48+((@vbin&15)+6)/16*7) How does it work? By adding 6 to a hex-digit in (@vbin&15), you have a value from 16 […]

This script sets the recovery model for all databases to simple. It also truncates the log files before shrinking the databases.

This is just an optimized version of Daniel Payne's two scripts, base64_encode and base64_decode, with changes to end-of-block handling and a bug fix or two. If the encoded string ends in =, the last character is truncated. If ending in ==, two characters are chopped off. That seems better than replacing NUL characters with spaces, […]

Challenged by Hans Lindgren's stored procedures of the same name, I created this. Note that it produces strange results on non-hexadecimal strings, overflows at 0x80000000, and could have issues with byte-ordering on some architectures.How does it work? Well, the distance between one after '9' (':') and 'A' is 7 in ASCII. Also, if I subtract […]

SQLStackEngine - simulate a character stack using a string. This script was developed specifically to support the operator stack in SQLCalcEngine(also on this site). However, the implementation is complete enough to stand on its own.There are several functions in the package that correspond to the common stack functions of Push, Pop, Peek, and so on.In […]

I have added a few indexes to one of my tables in SQL Server 2025:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CustomerContact
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_CustomerContact
PRIMARY KEY (CustomerID);
-- Create index on CustomerEmail
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerContact_CustomerEmail
ON dbo.CustomerContact (CustomerEmail);
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerContact_CustomerPhone
ON dbo.CustomerContact (phone);
I then do this to disable one index:
alter index IX_CustomerContact_CustomerPhone on dbo.CustomerContact disableI see this when I check the index status:
I decide to rebuild all indexes with this command:
ALTER INDEX ALL ON dbo.CustomerContact rebuildAfter I do this, what will I see for the index status? See possible answers
