SQL Server / SSMS / Expanding Indexes List Query
Posted by Barac in SQL Server, SQL Tips and Tricks on Mar 11th, 2019 | 0 comments
Same as in previous posts examples Expanding Tables List Query and Expanding Columns List Query I usually do not notice this type of queries working in the background. But recently I end up working with a customer having DB with over 500K indexes, 150K tables and expanding indexes list operation can end up being slower than usual. Here is the code: SELECT i.name AS [Name], 'Server[@Name=' + quotename(CAST( serverproperty(N'Servername') AS sysname),'''') + ']' + '/Database[@Name=' + quotename(db_name(),'''') + ']' + '/Table[@Name=' +...

Usually I do not even notice this query working in the background, since this operation is quite fast. But recently I end up working with a customer having DB with 150K tables, and expanding table list operation can be really slow and expensive. Here is the code: SELECT tbl.name AS [Name], SCHEMA_NAME(tbl.schema_id) AS [Schema], 'Server[@Name=' + quotename(CAST( serverproperty(N'Servername') AS sysname),'''') + ']' + '/Database[@Name=' + quotename(db_name(),'''') + ']' + '/Table[@Name=' + quotename(tbl.name,'''') + ' and @Schema=' +...
PowerShell / SQL Server / Generate SQL Script to Restore Multiple Transaction Logs
Posted by Barac in Powershell, SQL Server, SQL Tips and Tricks on Feb 12th, 2019 | 0 comments
Restore multiple TRN logs using PowerShell. In this example I will show you really simple way how you can use PowerShell to restore multiple logs at once. After restoring full backup WITH NORECOVERY you need to figure it out last log sequence number of the last transaction in the backup set. TRN Log backups must be restored in the order in which they were created. Log backups contain log sequence numbers (LSN), and they must be restored in that particular order. There are few ways to find last LSN. USE msdb GO SELECT TOP 10 bck.database_name...
