Hi everyone,
I've placed the log file of my database on a separate disk(32 GB). It's allowed to auto grow. I take log backups every 15 minutes. Re-index job runs every Sunday and it fills up the log file and the database gets into the situation where nothing could be done. What I'm not able to understand is why aren't the log backups working. Shouldn't they truncate the log everytime the log is backed up?
Could you please provide me with steps to avoid this situation?
Thank you.

A fast san can fill up 30 GB of log in less than 15 minutes.
Sounds like you are doing everything right.
I would check these 2 options out :
What's the biggest table getting reindexed? The log cannot be backed up untill the transaction is over, so maybe the backup is not able to clear out the log as you think it is.
You could also consider doing a log backup every 2-5 minutes during that operation.
Also make sure you don't blindly reindex everything. Select only what needs reindexing.
I use this script and it works very well :
http://sqlfool.com/2010/04/index-defrag-script-v4-0/
I tweaked the default settings a little bit for my environement. I use 10% minimum fragmentation and 9% for rebuild so I never reorganize. I've found out that rebuilds are faster on my system and generated a less noise in the logs.
Moreoever when running the job daily the amount of work to do is very well spread out so it takes 5 - 10 less times daily.
2 final things that helped : The db has a default fill factor of 100%. I started monitoring the execution logs and moved the FF down to 85% for every index that was updated more than once a week.
After 3-4 months of doing so I then move the FF of every other indexes to 85% (the actual used space was around 93% so it wasn't a big deal... like 5% increase in DB size).
Since then I get 2-3 indexes rebuild daily on average. The job now runs regularly in less than 5 minutes. So I could probably run it during the day if I had to.
Hope this helps!

:w00t: Awesome info Ninja's! I am just starting to take snaps of index stats at the new shop (no baselines to be had, heaps everywhere, found tons of NC indexes with 99+% frag :-P) and am putting a process together for them to keep their indexes healthy. I had bits and pieces of what you described covered from previous gigs but I'll be following your lead on this one. Thanks for posting!

Ya I read the same info about heaps (if you were not the teacher about that topic). It would certainly be a good idea to find all the tables without clustered index, pick out the narrowest column of that table and then do a create clustered index WITH DROP_IMMEDIATE (no that's not a real option, but you get the idea).
That would be a hell of a nice addition to Michelle's script.
That and bringing back the update stats portion of it (was taken out because of a bug, and then she had her baby girl so that's been on hold for over 1 year now).
For stats I have a big enough window to do a daily full scan of all stats (wether or not they need it). Since I get little to no index rebuilds I don't care about that 0.01% overlap.
I've been meaning to get this working smarter but never had a chance.
June 15, 2011 at 4:59 pm
I just got done reformatting the proc with SQL Prompt...next stop, comb through it line by line so I understand what it's doing before unleashing it on the world 😀
If I see anything I think is worth tightening up or if I do any of my own "enhancements" I'll post back.

You can do a blank run with @execute = 0 and @Print = 1.
You can try with maybe just the 75% and 1000 pages and then go down gradually to 30% and then 10% if you can.
AFAIK the script is smart enough to not rescan the indexes for fragmentation if it runs only x minutes after the previous run. I don't know exactly what rule is applied there but there's something to avoid the frag scan hit in there when it can.

Hi Guys,
I've some problem with running script. I've created a separate DB for the script tables "UtilityDB".
When I run a script it's back to me with "Procedure dba_indexDefrag_sp dropped" and did nothing.
Hope for your help.
Thanks

That creates the script objects. You need to call the sp for it to run.

Hi,
THanks for your fast reply first!
I know, I'm using enabled EXECUTE dbo.dba_indexDefrag_sp @executeSQL = 1 statement in a script.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but can't find what exactly. Sorry for may be stupid questions, but I'm new in sql.

Are you sure you have fragmentation anywhere?
October 13, 2011 at 8:49 am
I have one index with >100k pages and 98% of avg fragmentation.
October 13, 2011 at 8:52 am
Do you have a time limit?
DB or objet exclusion?
Worse comes to worse I can always give you my version of the code.
October 13, 2011 at 8:58 am
@timeLimit = NULL
I didn't define any exclusions.
Can you please post your version of code?
Thanks
October 13, 2011 at 9:14 am
This has been in prod for over 1 year without any issues. It's based on version 4.0 of the script (4.1 is out now).
I've tweaked the settings for my environement and I've also done 1-2 upgrades for better loging.

/*********************************************************************************
Name: dba_indexDefrag_sp
Author: Michelle Ufford, http://sqlfool.com
Purpose: Defrags one or more indexes for one or more databases
Notes:
CAUTION: TRANSACTION LOG SIZE SHOULD BE MONITORED CLOSELY WHEN DEFRAGMENTING.
DO NOT RUN UNATTENDED ON LARGE DATABASES DURING BUSINESS HOURS.
@minFragmentation defaulted to 10%, will not defrag if fragmentation
is less than that
@rebuildThreshold defaulted to 30% as recommended by Microsoft in BOL;
greater than 30% will result in rebuild instead
@executeSQL 1 = execute the SQL generated by this proc;
0 = print command only
@defragOrderColumn Defines how to prioritize the order of defrags. Only
used if @executeSQL = 1.
Valid options are:
range_scan_count = count of range and table scans on the
index; in general, this is what benefits
the most from defragmentation
fragmentation = amount of fragmentation in the index;
the higher the number, the worse it is
page_count = number of pages in the index; affects
how long it takes to defrag an index
@defragSortOrder The sort order of the ORDER BY clause.
Valid options are ASC (ascending) or DESC (descending).
@timeLimit Optional, limits how much time can be spent performing
index defrags; expressed in minutes.
NOTE: The time limit is checked BEFORE an index defrag
is begun, thus a long index defrag can exceed the
time limitation.
@database Optional, specify specific database name to defrag;
If not specified, all non-system databases will
be defragged.
@tableName Specify if you only want to defrag indexes for a
specific table, format = databaseName.schema.tableName;
if not specified, all tables will be defragged.
@forceRescan Whether or not to force a rescan of indexes. If set
to 0, a rescan will not occur until all indexes have
been defragged. This can span multiple executions.
1 = force a rescan
0 = use previous scan, if there are indexes left to defrag
@scanMode Specifies which scan mode to use to determine
fragmentation levels. Options are:
LIMITED - scans the parent level; quickest mode,
recommended for most cases.
SAMPLED - samples 1% of all data pages; if less than
10k pages, performs a DETAILED scan.
DETAILED - scans all data pages. Use great care with
this mode, as it can cause performance issues.
@minPageCount Specifies how many pages must exist in an index in order
to be considered for a defrag. Defaulted to 8 pages, as
Microsoft recommends only defragging indexes with more
than 1 extent (8 pages).
NOTE: The @minPageCount will restrict the indexes that
are stored in dba_indexDefragStatus table.
@maxPageCount Specifies the maximum number of pages that can exist in
an index and still be considered for a defrag. Useful
for scheduling small indexes during business hours and
large indexes for non-business hours.
NOTE: The @maxPageCount will restrict the indexes that
are defragged during the current operation; it will not
prevent indexes from being stored in the
dba_indexDefragStatus table. This way, a single scan
can support multiple page count thresholds.
@excludeMaxPartition If an index is partitioned, this option specifies whether
to exclude the right-most populated partition. Typically,
this is the partition that is currently being written to in
a sliding-window scenario. Enabling this feature may reduce
contention. This may not be applicable in other types of
partitioning scenarios. Non-partitioned indexes are
unaffected by this option.
1 = exclude right-most populated partition
0 = do not exclude
@onlineRebuild 1 = online rebuild;
0 = offline rebuild
@sortInTempDB Specifies whether to defrag the index in TEMPDB or in the
database the index belongs to. Enabling this option may
result in faster defrags and prevent database file size
inflation.
1 = perform sort operation in TempDB
0 = perform sort operation in the index's database
@maxDopRestriction Option to specify a processor limit for index rebuilds
@printCommands 1 = print commands to screen;
0 = do not print commands
@printFragmentation 1 = print fragmentation to screen;
0 = do not print fragmentation
@defragDelay Time to wait between defrag commands; gives the
server a little time to catch up
@debugMode 1 = display debug comments; helps with troubleshooting
0 = do not display debug comments
