The user does not need to disable non-clustered index separately. However, when a clustered index is enabled, it does not automatically enable non-clustered index. All the non-clustered indexes need to be enabled individually. I wondered if there is any short cut to enable all the indexes together. Index rebuilding came to my mind instantly. I ran T-SQL command of rebuilding all the indexes and it enabled all the indexes on the table. [...]

We do it nightly, so I’m interested in scripting this. When I try:
ALTER INDEX ALL ON Production.Product DISABLE

that works great, except that it also disables my PK index, which I don’t want to do, and which I don’t want to rebuild.

I’m wondering if there is an equivalent:
ALTER INDEX ALL_EXCEPT_PK ON Production.Product DISABLE

and, likewise:
ALTER INDEX ALL_EXCEPT_PK ON Production.Product REBUILD

Maybe I’ll have to start writing SP’s to do this from the meta data, but I’d hoped someone else might have thought of this already?

thanks!

So if you disable the clustered index, the non-clustered indexes wouldn’t be pointing to data (as they would be if you had a heap instead), they’d be pointing to the disabled index. It wouldn’t make sense to leave any non-clustered indexes enabled if you disable a clustered index. The behaviour is completely sensible.

HTH,

Regards,

Greg

To enable all the indexes together, run the Alter Index All command. eg

“ALTER INDEX ALL ON Production.Product REBUILD”
The above command will rebuild and enable all indexes that has been disabled.
