If outage is an issue then seriously look into the SQL Enterprise license, it allows online reindexing. It’s pricey, though, at around $20k/proc.

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATEADD(d,+1,GETDATE()),101)+ ‘ ‘ + RIGHT (CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 100),7)

SELECT
@objname = ‘TableToExamine’,
@dbname = ISNULL(parsename(@objname, 3),DB_NAME()),
@id = object_id(@objname)

SELECT
i.*,
CASE
WHEN ps.usedpages > ps.pages THEN (ps.usedpages – ps.pages)
ELSE 0
END * 8 indexsize
FROM sys.indexes i
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
OBJECT_ID,
index_id,
SUM (used_page_count) usedpages,
SUM (
CASE
WHEN (index_id < 2) THEN (in_row_data_page_count + lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count)
ELSE lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count
END
)pages
FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats
WHERE object_id = @id
GROUP BY object_id, index_id
) ps on i.index_id = ps.index_id
WHERE i.object_id = @id

please give same way to tuning a SP.

INSERT INTO Scontistica
(Prodotto,Sconto)
values (‘Sky’,0.5),
(‘Skywarm’,0.5)

give me this error:
[ Token line number = 2,Token line offset = 19,Token in error = , ]

why??

i am new to sql server, and needs to tune one SP.
is there any way to find when any specific database last reindexed?

You explained very well about hints. But you need to conclude which hint is better.

Please add the hostname with this query.
I am not able to join sysprocess for hostname with this query.

Is there any method to get the host name with this query?
I am not able to connect this with sysprocesses to get the hostname.
Please help.

select count(distinct a.[9060_SubsId])
from ([CDR-OCT-2009].dbo.[CDR_Oct2009],
[CDR-NOV-2009].dbo.[CDR_Nov2009]) a

You are really raising my temptation to read this book. Since I like the enhancement of encryption and decryption in Microsoft SQL Server 2005+, this seems MUST read book for me.

BTW, my mind’s battery is fully charged after one short vacation now so thinking to start reading this book ASAP.

You can do this as:

DECLARE @str VARCHAR(100)
SELECT @str = ‘12345678,abcdefgh’

SELECT @str,
SUBSTRING(@str, 0 , CHARINDEX(‘,’,@str)) AS [1stColunmn],
SUBSTRING(@str, CHARINDEX(‘,’,@str) + 1, LEN(@str)) AS [2ndColumn]

I initially had the same problem with developer. What I did was completely uninstall all editions of SQL (I had some Express versions in there I think). I even deleted any leftover folders after I uninstalled everything. Restart the computer. Once I did that, I created an account with just user privileges. I reinstalled SQL 2008 and made sure that for the full-text daemon login/password I put in my new user with limited privileges (this is during the installation process). I had no errors this time around and was able to install AdventureWorks successfully.

Of course I probably did not need to uninstall everything, but I just wanted to make sure that I started with a clean slate. You could probably be able to do the same thing by simply creating a user with limited privileges and change the server settings from there.

P.S I am using Windows XP Professional

CREATE PROCEDURE uspGetEmployee
@LastName VARCHAR(50) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(300)
SELECT @sql = ‘ SELECT * ‘ + ‘ FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE 1=1 ‘
IF @LastName IS NOT NULL
SELECT @sql = @sql + ‘ AND [LASTNAME] = @LastName’
EXEC sp_executesql @sql, N’@lastname VARCHAR(50)’, @LastName
end
GO

Here is how I deleted and drop the table…

DECLARE @RC int
DECLARE @LastName varchar(50)
EXECUTE @RC = [Northwind].[dbo].[uspGetEmployee]
delete from employees where lastname=’king’
