This function takes a pattern to be searched for, a string that the pattern will be removed from and a flag to determine whether all instances of the pattern should be removed.This is sort of an expanded version of a function I wrote to remove multiple spaces from a string.

SQL 2000's sp_MSForEachDB and sp_MSForEachTable are useful procedures for performing operations against multiple objects; however, they aren't always extremely efficient, because internally they use cursors to do their work.These 2 sprocs, sp_ForEachDB and sp_ForEachTable, perform many of the same tasks as their Microsoft-shipped twins, but run faster because they dynamically build the SQL string without […]

This script is similar to Column_Gitter. I noticed this script and wanted to present the same output without the use of cursors. Both scripts work well and produce the same results. This little utility comes in handy if you do a lot of SQL coding. Given a table name, it'll return four results: The names […]

This function is similar to the ISNUMERIC native function, but tests for a valid integer. ISNUMERIC can return false positive results when testing for a valid integer. For example this select returns a value of 1 (true):select isnumeric('3d8')For 6.x and 7.0, you can easily convert it to a procedure.

These four scripts list concise information about all Default, Check, Unique, Foreign Key, and Primary Key constraints for the database in which they are run. With minor column modifications, they could easily be unioned to provide a single list. The usual caveat applies about directly accessing system tables. They may change in future versions and/or […]

Very simple and straightforward script that creates a temporary table and fills it with prime numbers from 1 to the upper bound you specify. May be useful for educational purposes or even some cryptography applications.

This VBScript script lets you display the available disk space in each one of your administered DB servers.You have to call it with ONE argument: the filename of an archive that contains a list of known servers over which you have administration permissions. If you program VBScript, you can put alarms when any drive goes […]

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_CustomerEmail
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.CustomerContactAfter I do this, what will I see for the index status? See possible answers
