Indexes are not recognized After partitioning !!!!

  • Hi Oldhands

    I partitioned one of my tables .

    Into one schema with 9 filegroup.

    And finaly Drop Clustered index And Create Clustered on Partititon key .

    then drop and Create All Non-Clustered Indexes with this option : ON [Partitioning_SchemaLog]([RegDatetime])

    But when I run query which needs one of the non-clustered indexes, Sql server suggests in execution-plan (with green color) that this index is missed.

    But I have exactly that index.

    what is happening ?

    thank you

  • Without seeing the current index definitions, the query and the execution plan, no way to say for sure.

  • excuse me !!

    I review execution plan percisly .

    It used index (seek , ...)

    But show the suggest that index again .

    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IDX_Nonc_TaxCode] ON [dbo].[Table1]

    (

    [TaxCode] ASC

    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [Partitioning_SchemaLog]([RegDatetime])

    GO

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Even I Created another index on this field without [Partitioning_SchemaLog]([RegDatetime])

    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [TaxCode_Index] ON [dbo].[Table1]

    (

    [TaxCode] ASC

    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)

    GO

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    this is execution plan suggestion :

    GO

    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]

    ON [dbo].[Table1] ([TaxCode])

    GO

  • If it's recommending an index that you have exactly, ignore it.

  • Another question (If possible) :

    Befor Partitioning I saved some result for some query on this table. (Logical reads and ...)

    After partitioning

    - logical read has incredibly increased . from 3 to about 9000.

    - I added partititon Key to my query : Logical read reduced to about 1600.

    - Finall I used $partition.PartitionFunction(regdatetime)=.... (exact partition number) : It reduced to 3 again.

    Then partitioning does not have performance result nesesserily.

    Yes , Is it true ?

  • Partitioning is not a performance tuning feature, it's for data management and maintenance.
