Creating clustered index on exiting table

Senyeart — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:55:58 +0000

I have a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition database table that has 768,526 rows in it with no primary key or clustered index. This database’s logs are getting shipped to a disaster recovery server on an hourly basis. I need to create a clustered primary key constraint on this table; however when testing in my staging enviornment the log file gets full or I run out of disk space. What is the best approach for creating this index?

Using an indexer for SQL Server 2005

Hi
The application I work on is a Java web application with sql server 2005.

A user can search for a document stored in a file server. When they search for a document, a stored procedure is invoked from the java code and an open query code is used to go to a catalog created by the indexer.

The problem is the old Microsoft indexer is no longer supported, so I need to think of a replacement.

any ideas? thx

Fill factor on subscriber

Hello,

We have an OLTP application for which a majority of the database’s tables are replicated between two environments.

The publisher side is intended to handle the writes from users and the subscriber handles the reporting aspect of the application.

The subscriber therefore is mainly read by users and should only be updated by replication.

Should I alter the fill factor on the subscriber’s indexes to be higher percentage than the publisher or should they be the same as the publisher?

Regards,

SCM.
