hi ,
i create the index by using this query…. but when i run the query for unused index it gives the name of newly created index in that query….
do we need to do anything else after creating indexs…..

Thanks so much for this, it’s been tremendous.

One question, I keep getting the same suggested index for a foreign key on a table. Is there a reason that an item that is a foreign key would show up as needing a index when it doesn’t suggest any other columns to be included?

CREATE INDEX [IX_foreign_table_key_id] ON [DATABASE_NAME].[dbo].[table] ([foreign_table_id])
where foreign_table_id is a foreign key in SQL Server.

its works good ….

i have some below doubts .

Problem statement.

create index abc on table xyz

select * from xyz with (index abc)

when we run this statement in one transaction the index is not gets created
but separately it do.

i.e. when i run this in one go i get error like index specified in the from
clause does not exist.

when you create one SP which embeded this statement it will throw this above mentioned error.

Your response to my question is much appreciate.

Thanks,
Nishad

I have to say, this is probably in the top 10 most useful scripts you have provided for the greater good.
Together with a duplicated Index finding script I found, these 2 will really open up transactional performance wide open.

You are doing some serious master work.
Appreciated by DBA’s and Testers alike.

Great job with writing this script! It is really useful. It saved me couple of hours worth of work. Keep up the good work!

Hi Pinal,

Thanks for the script, this has turned out to be very useful. Also, we have found that this script also works on SQL Server 2005.

Thanks for the great script. Someone pointed out the limitations of this to beware of so I thought I would share:

Seriously Abdul,

Why exactly are you taking on “client requirements” in a space that you obviously know nothing about? Do you intend to tell your customers that you’re an expert in SQL Server, and then beg people who have actually invested time into their craft to do all of their work for you?

Sheesh…

Hi Guys, Suppose if the agent gets logged in, Login time should be noted, if the agent had gone for break several breaks, then break times should be noted and if the agent goes for meeting, the meeting time should be displayed and logout time.
I need Login Time, number of Break times with time if possible(how many times the agent had gone for break)and meeting In time and meeting out time

By: Abdul

Abdul — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 07:13:10 +0000

The Requirement is…
If the Agent is logged in at 9am (I need Login Time)
If the Agent goes for break by 11am (I need Break on time)
If the Agent has come back from break by 11:15am (I need Break Off Time)
If the Agent goes for meeting by 1pm (I need meeting On Time)
If the Agent Has come back from Meeting by 1:30pm (I need Meeting Out Time)
If the Agent is Logged off by 6pm(I need Logout time)
I need this for daily wise report

Abdul — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 04:31:34 +0000

Check if the below query helps….

SELECT AgentID, AgentName,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,Logintime,100) AS LOGIN_WITH_DATETIME,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,Logintime,108) AS LOGIN_WITH_ONLY_TIME,LogOutTime,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,Logouttime – Logintime,108) as Login_Duration,
BreakInTime, BreakoutTime,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,BreakoutTime – BreakInTime,108) as Break_Duration,
MeetingInTime, MeetingOutTime,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,MeetingOutTime – MeetingInTime,108) as Meeting_Duration,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,(Logouttime – Logintime) + (BreakoutTime – BreakInTime) + (MeetingOutTime – MeetingInTime),108)
AS TOTAL_DURATION
FROM Agent_Log
GO
