A: How to attach MDF with no log file?

Aaron BertrandFor your initial situation, it seems you tried something like this: CREATE DATABASE YAFnet ON (FILENAME = N'C:\sql_data\YAFnet.mdf') FOR ATTACH; However, this method requires both an mdf file and an ldf file. Otherwise you get an error message similar to: Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Lin...

Q: Possible Causes of a Slow Sql View When Filtered

reed parkesI have a view in Sql Server 2008 that when performing just a: SELECT * FROM [Table] Will return roughly 40000 rows by 130 columns. Here are 6 runs with client statistics on (roughly 7 seconds average): Let's just assume those times are fine, the problem comes when a filter is applied. Here ...

I did vote to move it here, though.
How does this only have 4 votes?
Here's this great feature but, unlike other indexes and statistics, you'll want to manually update these yourself.
 
2:53 AM
@AaronBertrand wait, wut?
First off, that name. Boris Baryshnikov. So dramatic sounding
secondly, this:
> In a nutshell - statistics on a column are decoupled from the filtered index (auto generated – and then only updated based on total row counts, and not row counts narrowed by the filtered index predicate.
What other statistics are there to keep about a table?
not views, not indexes, but the table itself. And then, what other stats are there to keep about an index?
 
3:31 AM
There are statistics for each index. The auto update of these stats are based on the % of data churn in the entire table. So, in theory, a filtered index could quadruple in size and, if it's a small enough subset of the table, it will have completely out of date stats.
I'm not sure what you mean with your questions... where does anyone talk about statistics for the table? The comment you quote is talking about stats on a column vs. stats on a filtered index.
 
Cos I'm not sure what else you would keep stats on?
I do admit to a wharf of ignorance when it comes to SQL Statistics
 
Maybe this will help wrt this specific issue: sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/…
Thomas posted some good info here too

Q: SQL Server Index vs Statistic

ScottWhat are the differences between CREATE INDEX and CREATE STATISTICS and when should I use each?

 
wait, so you create statistics separate from other objects? They're not like tied to indexes or something?
Something tells me this is the black magic juju I should just leave to the experts who tell me I need it
 
You can, yes, but not everyone does. SQL Server also automatically creates statistics for indexes you create. Thepis is what it uses to derive cardinality estimates, row counts, etc.
 
Instead what I'm going to do is go read up on running node.js on my local OSX so I can play in my browser
because once we get into cardinality estimation by automated engines that have to maintain and update that information by magic, and the tall double I'm drinking with my blogreading, I'm just gonna go with "yeeeeeah" and let that be your magic for now ;-)

Q: SQL - Comparing text(permutations) on 100million table

PedobearI have a problem. I have a table that has around 80-100million records in it. In that table I have a field, that has stored from 3 up to 16 different "combinations"(varchar). Combination is a 4-digit number, a colon and a char(A-E), . For example: "0001:A/0002:A/0005:C/9999:E". In this case there...

A: Database schema for accounting system (debit/credit) . 2 columns or 1 column for both?

duffymoI think your schema ought to look something like this: http://homepages.tcp.co.uk/~m-wigley/gc_wp_ded.html

 
Might have to answer a question on SO at some point so I have more rep for downvotes :)
 
@bluefeet commented
and a mature response
from a higly rep user
Well, he deleted his answer anyway. The comment he posted was I think you should try answering questions instead of pretending to be a moderator
 
That is a nice response.
 
I would like to pretend I'm a moderator though.....but I I were one I wouldn't have posted my comment, I would've obliterated that answer :-)
so, maybe its good that I'm not one
 
2:52 PM
@bluefeet what a dick
 
@AaronBertrand there have been many lately.
 
@AaronBertrand he didn't even let me write a reply, he just posted his comment and immediately deleted his answer
 
It's funny that two of the biggest A-holes on SO have such high rep. I'm glad not all high rep users are like that.
Not that I'm not an A-hole, too, but not like that.
 
@AaronBertrand I remember the other one. At least, I don't think I'll start getting comments and downvotes on every post
 
2:56 PM
There are even some awful low-rep users lately. I had someone try to argue with me in comments today
 
Now that's an about page (they're rolling them out to the network as they update them)
 
@jcolebrand very nice
 
@rfusca What I meant is, is it actually defined as a PRIMARY KEY. Don't think it can be if it's backed by a non-unique index. As I said, you need a real PK on the table to use DBMS_REDEFINITION. You can alter the table to make it a proper PK and use the existing index online, then use DBMS_REDEFINITION to do the index change.
 
@AaronBertrand And we can flag (rude) comments on deleted answers! (as I discovered)
 
@jcolebrand Ooo cool. When do we get one?
 
2:59 PM
Knowing us, they gotta work in gruffness and neckbeards first ;-)
@ypercube doesn't have a tremendous benefit, as only 10k+ can see it in the first place if it wasn't self-deleted
 
sometimes I don't like the 5 minute edit grace period
 
@jcolebrand the answer has been deleted but (a 10k user) can still be offended by rude comments on semi-visible answers. It's good that I can flag it (I didn't know I could, that's why I mentioned it here)
 
@ypercube To tell you the truth, many comments don't bother me, but this one kinda did, I wasn't pretending to be a moderator, and I couldn't even reply to him
 
I was asked if I know what an FK is, the other day :)
(and then was advised to read on databases...)
 
I have another question for you @jcolebrand
From the point of view of SO, would it be better for the site if I delete my answer here?

there are multiple identical answers, and I don't care about losing that rep
 
3:08 PM
I wish you could vote to close an answer as a duplicate. Seriously, there are 5 identical answers there, and all have been up-voted. The question itself is marginally useful IMHO.
 
exactly my point
 
@Lamak I believe four or five of those could be deleted ...
We should probably close as dupe on another Q
 
I deleted mine
 
@jcolebrand probably, but it still got (many) working answers. Just wanted to delete mine, but I thought better ask on the heap first
 
Ehhh, you're over 10k on SO. If you haven't figured out that nothing can't be recovered if it's needed ... ;-)

Morning, @jcole
 
again ;-)
@Sathya what happened to TS? Did he fall into bed with his girl again? He's all quiet ...
 
@Lamak that is not a fun way to lose rep.
 
@bluefeet I think you can get a badge for one of those deletes
 
@jcolebrand prolly
 
I think there's a badge for a self-+3-delete, I know there's one for -3
 
3:12 PM
@jcolebrand I did

3:37 PM
@Phil its definitely defined as a primary key
 
@rfusca ok, my answer should be correct
 
@Phil ya, i'm looking through it
i'm afraid the table may be too big for it to be feasible though
its still a great answer though
 
THere's no other way without a drop & recreate, as you can't index the same column list twice
 
@Phil ya i know :/
 
and you can't alter PKs
 
3:40 PM
ya
we've got a scheduled maintenance downtime coming up, i'm just debating if its long enough to drop and recreate
 
how big is it at the moment?
(index, not table, in Kb)
 
one moment
 
So, in Oracle, you can't have 2 unique indexes on the same column?
 
@ypercube you can't have the sme column list indexed
 
@Phil 18219008 kb
so about 17 gb
 
3:46 PM
not too bad. it's the sort that will get you though when you recreate it
 
its absurdly defined. The partition ranges on the index are soo large that we're still in the first range and will be for years
 
the register seems to like server 2012
 
@Phil: Can you cheat, by adding a computed constant column c and a unique index on (pk, c)?
 
@ypercube And now it is gone. What did it take? 3 10K users or?
 
JNK
@AaronBertrand Do a SQLPerformance blog about Dynamic SQL and your journey to the Sommarskog side will be complete!
 
4:02 PM
@ypercube I felt the power of a moderator when clicking that flag. I clicked, and the comment was just gone :)
 
@Phil: Shall I dare to make that an answer?

( add a computed constant column c
add a unique index on (pk, c)
--
do whatever you want with your primary key, drop it, recreate it
--
drop the redundant index and column
) ;

I have no idea of the consequences on a 17GB table.
 
@ypercube i'm trying that on a test environ - i'm not sure how the requires will react to an index on (pk,c)
but its worth a try
i thought of a similar trick, but not with a constant
 
or on (c, pk), would that make a difference?
 
@ypercube pk,c might get used - I doubt c, pk would

Probably won't be there again. I will be busy enough getting Denver up and rolling
 
@MikeFal sadface
 
We should try and coordinate next year's schedule. Put a little more space between KC and Denver.
 
@MikeFal aye. I have this idea for a regional bloc of SQL Saturday folks to help coordinate stuff like that. Encourage cross pollination of speakers and attendees as well ensure we aren't stepping onto each other's toes.
At least as best as we can

As Kevin recovers, he finds one of the firemen resembles Agamemnon, and discovers that he still has the photos from his adventure. As his parents look at a strange piece of rock in the microwave, Kevin tries to warn them off that it is a piece of concentrated evil and they should not touch it; nevertheless, both do, and suddenly explode and disappear, leaving Kevin wondering where they have gone off to.
as an aside, that wikipedia grammar is catastrophically horrible

@AaronBertrand i think that there's a tyranny of the urgent when it comes to asking a question. you need an answer, you don't want to look like an idiot, you worry about what others are going to think about/say to you. so you post a question and then things change. or maybe i'm just projecting. nonetheless, to not accept an answer because of my own failure to communicate is unnecessarily petty.

Anyone here use the ASPState database?

@AaronBertrand sorry. it's in the "Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012" book
i can give you a proper turabian style citation, though
 
@swasheck And again you make me learn something.... turabian style citation, so fancy
 
@Lamak Itzik Ben-Gan, Dejan Sarka, and Ron Talmage, Querying Microsoft SQL Server (Sebastopol: O'Reilly, 2012), 10.
 
@swasheck I meant about the "turabian style" thingy, didn't know about that
 
8:20 PM
@Lamak yes. however, sometimes examples are good too :)
@Lamak it's humanities, though. i'm pretty sure that compsci follows APA
 
@swasheck I've learned most of what I know looking at examples :-)
 
@Lamak me too
 
I think it would be so bizarro to see a quote with attribution on SE that it wouldn't really matter which style you use - you'd still be blowing a lot of minds.
 
@AaronBertrand true. very true.

Yeah I know
 
@ypercube No worries. The user was not clear in his question. He told me that all of my queries were wrong. And then he accepted a UNION

@Lamak i get the picture. he introduced me to the extension :)
@AaronBertrand Baxter Healthcare, to be blunt.
 
8:45 PM
@AaronBertrand mine, though I can still see that image
 
@AaronBertrand in fairness, i'm fighting the battles i can. i have a local admin user on my machine and i run Chrome as that user (runas /user:.\swasheck) ... i have set the --no-sandbox flag, though. at any rate, that gives me a bit more freedom, but imgur is blocked with extreme prejudice
 
That is crazy to me. It's too bad you can't do reverse hosts entry, e.g. make requests to imgur LOOK like they're going somewhere else
 
@AaronBertrand well ... i had an ssh tunnel to a small linux distro at home which i set up as a proxy but then Comcast told me to stop.
The Man is everywhere
 
@swasheck told you to stop?
 
@AaronBertrand how do I get that red line next to me?
 
8:50 PM
@rfusca "we've noted some suspicious activity on your account" ... told them what i was doing ... they "recommended" that i stop because "next time" i may end up with a disconnection of service
 
@swasheck we do the same here, but to a linux server on the US
 
@bluefeet do you mean you want me to see a red line next to you when I see you in my browser? Simple: annoy the crap out of me.
:-)
 
@Lamak set me up with an account ;)
 
@swasheck that's suspicious? wow...
 
@AaronBertrand yes that is what I meant. :)
 
8:51 PM
@swasheck hey, I could do that. You just need to pay a really small monthly fee
 
@Lamak do you take czech koruna?
 
Maybe we should declare an annoy @AaronBertrand day?!
 
@bluefeet do you want him gone for good? ;-)
 
@bluefeet SO declares that day EVERY day
 
 
8:54 PM
@Lamak nice
 
you would need like 150 korunas

Colder than the temperature in Athens.

I've been in -75, that sucked
 
9:27 PM
-75 F? Wow! Where, Alaska?
 
@ypercube the homeland
 
I think that was in fahrenheit. I was in Thunder Bay, Ontario, on this day:
On 10 January 1982, the local temperature in Thunder Bay dropped to −36 °C, with a wind speed of 54 km/h for a wind chill temperature that dipped to −58 °C. As a result, it holds Ontario's record for coldest day with wind chill.
And I was the idiot who walked two blocks to the store to buy hockey cards while my family went to the grocery store. When I got back in the house, I ran my hands under cold water, and had burns/blisters for two weeks where the water first touched me, because it was so much hotter than my hands.
I had worn mittens, of course, I'm not a total idiot.

wait, I only have separate indexes on the word1, word2, lang1, lang2, I need to put on the joint indexes. I will continue experimenting tomorrow as my host only allows 20 minutes of MySQL time a day. — Sandor 3 mins ago
 
You have to share those servers with all the other script kiddies. PHP is very resource intensive.

joint indexes ... we have those here in Colorado thanks to Amendment 64
 
Zing!
 
@MikeFal it was fascinating how quickly they went out and resigned Duchene ... and then lockout
 
@swasheck Yeah. I just hope Duchene quits whining and grows a pair.
 
@MikeFal new contract ... more money ... not likely
@ypercube ... still doesnt make sense but maybe that's because i know nothing about mysql
 
@swasheck Well, regardless, I'll have hockey to tide me over until June-ish. Before the summer sports doldrums set in.
 
9:49 PM
@swasheck I think he meant to write "why it doesn't use the index"
 
@ypercube yeah ... but i dont understand what mysql means by using temporary; using filesort
@MikeFal there's one unholy day in the calendar ( i think the day after the MLB "all-star" game) when there's nothing on
 
@swasheck Psh, once the Nuggets and Avs are done, there isn't anything on around here until Broncos start again.
 
@swasheck ah, EXPLAIN (Extra)
 
@ypercube ah. thanks.
If you want to make your queries as fast as possible, look out for Extra values of Using filesort and Using temporary.
 
And "filesort" is a very poorly chosen name, as it may well be a sort in memory ...

@MikeFal can watch soccer on Telemundo, right?
