_WA_ indexes in sysindexes

Hi
I was writing script to defrag my indexes on a regular basis.
I was checking the sysindexes table and found
_WA_ indexes and I do no see a corresponding object for the sysobjects
WHat are these indexes?

These are statistics rather than indexes. You can exclude statistics and
hyhothetical indexes (created by the Index Tuning Wizard) rows in sysindexes
using INDEXPROPERTY:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id), name
FROM sysindexes
WHERE
INDEXPROPERTY(id, name, 'IsStatistics') = 0 AND
INDEXPROPERTY(id, name, 'IsHypothetical') = 0
Hope this helps.

[TRANSACT] Can't switch from database to another

Hello,
I encounter a problem with a small portion of sqlcode. I
try to go on database using "use dbname" but i always stay
in master. I execute script with the sa user.
declare @.dbnamesysname
declare @.ret_codeint
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
select
name
from
master..sysdatabases
where
name not in ('master', 'model', 'tempdb', 'pubs',
'Northwind')
-- Open cursor
OPEN db_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @.dbname
WHILE @.@.FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
execute ('use ' + @.dbname)
execute ('select db_name()')
Thank's for help,
Pierrot.
AFAIK, executing just open up a session to excute something, when executing
the next statement you are in another Session, try to combine these two
together with
EXECUTE ('Use Northwind;Select DB_NAME()')

The answer is you don't. SQL Server is a server application, and
server applications communicate with client applications, not with
end users.

Do you want a return code or not? If you don't want a return code
then you can wirite:
If <conditionReturn
If you want a return code then you need to use a stored proc and inside
the procedure you can write:
If <conditionreturn 100
In your application you can check for status of the called procedure
and take action based on that.|||fireball (fireball@.onet.kropka.eu) writes:

Depends on how run it. In SQLCMD or OSQL you can exit immediately
by using a RAISERROR with state 127:

RAISERROR('Got a good reson for taking the easy way out now', 16, 127)

This does not work from Query Analyzer or Mgmt Studio.

Is it possible to add a command into the query to output diff/compare scenario?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are using SQL Server 2005 you might be able to use the EXCEPT operator instead of the UNION ALL operator. Give a look to the EXCEPT operator in books online.

If the EXCEPT operator looks like it does what you want and it does not perform to your satisfaction, come back and talk to us again. While the EXCEPT operator might be conceptually the most straight forward approach it is not always the most efficient.

Kent

|||Yes, we're using 2005. I'll look into using the EXCEPT op. thanks for the advise, Kent.

[ActiveX Script Task] Error: Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x0

Hi Igor,

This isn't much of an answer but it is true: you should try to move away from the ActiveX Script Task and use the Script Task instead.

Hope this helps,
Andy

|||Script Task does mean that there is a different scripting language?

I tryed a different thing: I moved all the script from a SSIS task to a SQL Server job (a job with one "activeX script" step).

It sounds great, but I have a different error in the step that says that
"The command script does not destroy all the objects that it creates. Revise the command script. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 14277)"

I am not a VB programmer, so I think I have to ask someone to revise the script.

Thanks for the help|||

ActiveX scripts in SQL Jobs (all versions) appear to have a major bug in that they report Error: 14277 whenever the string "createobject(" appears more than once anywhere in the script. It does not matter whether the string is just part of a character expression such as: sTemp = "..... createobject( ...."; whether it appears in a comment or whether it is used to actually create an object. Any combination of the above that puts "createobject(" in the script more than once will cause the 14277 error to appear when you try to close the Job modifier.

There is a trick that I have found to overcome this. That is, to create any and all objects in a single common subroutine. Even in this subroutine, you have to trick the system into thinking that you have just destroyed the object that you are trying to create.

The subroutine is cobj. It takes the variable that will become the object and a string that defines the activex control. The "set ... = Nothing" that appears after the "Exit Sub" is the trick that makes the system think that the object is destroyed within the scope of cobj. Note: be sure to destroy the object in the scope where the object variable was defined.

Here is a code sample that sends an email using ASPMAIL, which contains data from an ADO SQL query.

Hope this helps,
Andy

|||Script Task does mean that there is a different scripting language?

I tryed a different thing: I moved all the script from a SSIS task to a SQL Server job (a job with one "activeX script" step).

It sounds great, but I have a different error in the step that says that
"The command script does not destroy all the objects that it creates. Revise the command script. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 14277)"

I am not a VB programmer, so I think I have to ask someone to revise the script.

Thanks for the help|||

ActiveX scripts in SQL Jobs (all versions) appear to have a major bug in that they report Error: 14277 whenever the string "createobject(" appears more than once anywhere in the script. It does not matter whether the string is just part of a character expression such as: sTemp = "..... createobject( ...."; whether it appears in a comment or whether it is used to actually create an object. Any combination of the above that puts "createobject(" in the script more than once will cause the 14277 error to appear when you try to close the Job modifier.

There is a trick that I have found to overcome this. That is, to create any and all objects in a single common subroutine. Even in this subroutine, you have to trick the system into thinking that you have just destroyed the object that you are trying to create.

The subroutine is cobj. It takes the variable that will become the object and a string that defines the activex control. The "set ... = Nothing" that appears after the "Exit Sub" is the trick that makes the system think that the object is destroyed within the scope of cobj. Note: be sure to destroy the object in the scope where the object variable was defined.

Here is a code sample that sends an email using ASPMAIL, which contains data from an ADO SQL query.

'*********************************************
' ActiveX Script - no 14277 error
'*********************************************
MailMe readSQL(1006), "mymail@.mail.com"

Sub cobj(newobj, ax)
Set newobj = createobject(ax) ' only appears once, here
exit sub
Set newobj = Nothing ' never executed but tricks checker
End Sub

sub MailMe (sMsg, sAddress)
dim Mailer, vRet
if instr(sAddress,"@.")<1 then exit sub

cobj Mailer, "SMTPsvg.Mailer"

Mailer.FromName = "ASP_Debug"
Mailer.FromAddress = sAddress
Mailer.RemoteHost = "127.0.0.1"
Mailer.AddRecipient "", sAddress
Mailer.Subject = "Debug ActiveX Script - 14277 Error"
Mailer.BodyText = sMsg
Mailer.SendMail
Set Mailer=Nothing
end sub

Function readSQL(ndx)
Dim SQL, sConn, oRst
readSQL = "No Record"
SQL = "SELECT Note FROM NoteTable WHERE [ID]=" & CStr(ndx)
sConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Initial Catalog=xx;Data Source=zz"

cobj oRst, "ADODB.Recordset"

oRst.Open SQL, sConn
If oRst.State = 1 Then
readSQL = oRst(0)
oRst.Close
End If
Set oRst = Nothing
End Function

[2005] How do I script out all indexes?

Hello,
we are using Sql Server 2005 Managament Studio.
Can someone tell me how I can script out all DROP/CREATE INDEXES for a particular database?
We only want to script out the INDEXES, not the tables.
Please advise.
Thanks.
`LeYou can try using a (free) tool I wrote, called scriptdb.exe.

It scripts out all objects (including indexes). The script for each object is created in a separate file. It would be a simple matter to alter the tool so it only scripts the indexes (the source is available so you could do it yourself). Or you can just run it as is and script out all the objects, and throw away what you don't want if all you care about are indexes.

You can get it here: http://www.elsasoft.org/tools.htm

Alternatively, in SSMS, you could try using the Generate Scripts Wizard for this, but it won't do both drop and create at the same time. only drop OR create. not both.

Hope this helps!|||Thanks for the offer, but my company has a policy against 3rd party executables.

As for Sql Server Management Studio, I cannot seem to find anyplace to script out ONLY the indexes.

Are there other suggestions?

`Le|||you appear to be right, GSW won't script the index separate from the table.

even if you have a policy against 3rd party executables, you can still use scriptdb since I posted the source code.

Just build it yourself using VS or csc.exe and then it's *your* executable ;)

@schema_change_script usage

When does the script specified in the @.schema_change_script parameter for
the sp_repladdcolumn and sp_repldropcolumn get fired ? Is it after the
adding and dropping of the column on all ends or before ?
Thanks
after.

@@servername returns NULL

I am trying to script out the creation of database scripts. I am trying
to use @.@.servername in the statement. I found out the select
@.@.servername returns NULL. I used sp_dropserver to drop any servernames
first, restarted SQL, ran sp_addserver 'servername' to add the
servername, restarted SQL. select @.@.servername still returns NULL...

Any ideas why this may be happening?

Thanks,

Did you specify 'local' as the second parameter to sp_addserver?

@@ServerName returns NULL

Hi: We use @.@.Servername throughout all our jobs to indicate to the script
which server the script is running upon. However, for some unknown reason,
the statement "Select @.@.ServerName" is returning a null value rather than the
name of the server. This has broken ALL of our job scripts. There is a work
around, however, with over 100 jobs that run, we are not too keen about
modifying existing scripts. Any ideas how we can get this fixed?

Hi Richard,
Quote from Books Online:
SQL Server Setup sets the server name to the computer name during
installation. Change @.@.SERVERNAME by using sp_addserver and then
restarting SQL Server. This method, however, is not usually required.
