Check and Enable Automatic Statistic Update on Database Level

AS SQL Server Best Practices: Auto-Create and Auto-Update Statistics Should Be On – Most of the Time in general they are a very good thing for performance. You could try to figure out which columns need statistics, but it’s often better to let SQL Server do that for you.You can turn on the AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS database option and SQL Server will automatically determine when it needs the Statistics and create them for you.

Check And Enable Automatic Statistic Update on all databases have this option is disable

Select ‘ALTER DATABASE [‘+Name+’] SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS ON;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [‘+Name+’] SET AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS ON;
GO
‘ from Sys.Databases where is_auto_update_stats_on = 0 or is_auto_create_stats_on = 0

Take the Result and Execute it in another session

Where is index location on Database?

Where is index location on Database?

Hi guys today I will show smoothing is easy but more important to know about it {Where is the index live} by the below DMV we can return all the index with table name and with File group hosted on it , another thing you can use this DMV to know the heap tables , Clustered index , non-Clustered index

Index Location:

WITH C AS
(

SELECT ps.data_space_id
, f.name
, d.physical_name
FROM sys.filegroups f
JOIN sys.database_files d ON d.data_space_id = f.data_space_id
JOIN sys.destination_data_spaces dds ON dds.data_space_id = f.data_space_id
JOIN sys.partition_schemes ps ON ps.data_space_id = dds.partition_scheme_id

UNION

SELECT f.data_space_id
, f.name
, d.physical_name
FROM sys.filegroups f
JOIN sys.database_files d ON d.data_space_id = f.data_space_id
)
–SELECT * FROM c
SELECT [ObjectName] = OBJECT_NAME(i.[object_id])
, [IndexID] = i.[index_id]
, [IndexName] = i.[name]
, [IndexType] = i.[type_desc]
, [Partitioned] = CASE WHEN ps.data_space_id IS NULL THEN ‘No’
ELSE ‘Yes’
END
, [StorageName] = ISNULL(ps.name, f.name)
, [FileGroupPaths] = CAST(( SELECT name AS “FileGroup”
, physical_name AS “DatabaseFile”
FROM C

WHERE i.data_space_id = c.data_space_id
FOR
XML PATH(”)
) AS XML)
FROM [sys].[indexes] i
LEFT JOIN sys.partition_schemes ps ON ps.data_space_id = i.data_space_id
LEFT JOIN sys.filegroups f ON f.data_space_id = i.data_space_id
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(i.[object_id], ‘IsUserTable’) = 1
ORDER BY [ObjectName], [IndexName]

Follow me because next post I will explain everything about the index and How you can build you index model How you can Enhance your expensive query by index more Secrets in the index …ETC

How to Grant Show Plan Privilege

Showplan Privilege it’s granted for any one need to see the execution plane for SQL Server query to check the performance of the index or doing index analysis.

Grant Showplan for one user in one database :

GRANT Showplan TO [DominName\username]

Grant Showplan for one user in All databases in one SQL instance:

EXEC sp_MSforeachdb N’IF EXISTS
(
SELECT 1 FROM sys.databases WHERE name = ”?”
AND Is_read_only <> 1
)
BEGIN
print ”Use [?]; GRANT Showplan TO [DominName\username]”
END’;

after the execution take the Print scripts and run it in another session.
