I was having a little design rant with Rob about an ERP system I'm working with (http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=188112) and I created this query to count the "clustered index column distribution". What it basically does is count the number of columns in the clustered index and then count the number of tables that has the same count.

The following result means that there are 32 tables in the database (out of 3327 tables) that have 16 columns in the clustered index, and the percentage means that 0.96% of the tables have 16 columns in their clustered indexes

CAN ANYBODY BEAT THIS???

ColumnsInClusteredIndex	TablesCount	TotalCount	Percentage
16	32	3327	0.96
15	15	3327	0.45
14	23	3327	0.69
13	33	3327	0.99
12	38	3327	1.14
11	66	3327	1.98
10	69	3327	2.07
9	105	3327	3.16
8	165	3327	4.96
7	245	3327	7.36
6	322	3327	9.68
5	458	3327	13.77
4	535	3327	16.08
3	631	3327	18.97
2	407	3327	12.23
1	183	3327	5.50

Here is the query:

with cte as (
	select distinct
		TableName = OBJECT_NAME(ic.OBJECT_ID),
		ColumnName = COL_NAME(ic.OBJECT_ID,ic.column_id)
	FROM sys.indexes AS i
		INNER JOIN sys.index_columns AS ic
			ON i.OBJECT_ID = ic.OBJECT_ID
				AND i.index_id = ic.index_id
	WHERE i.index_id = 1
),
cte2 as (
	select 
		TableName, 
		ColumnsInClusteredIndex = count(*)
	from cte
	group by TableName
	),
cte3 as (
	select TotalCount = count(*) from cte2)

select 
	ColumnsInClusteredIndex, 
	TablesCount = count(*),
	TotalCount,
	Percentage = CONVERT(decimal(5, 2), ((count(*)*1.0) / TotalCount) * 100)
from cte2
	cross join cte3
group by ColumnsInClusteredIndex, TotalCount
order by ColumnsInClusteredIndex desc

Not sure why you posted here but it is interesting to me (a SQL Server DBA).

Mine is rather mundane by comparison...


ColumnsInClusteredIndex	TablesCount	TotalCount	Percentage
    6	                    1	           914	           0.11
    5	                    5	           914	           0.55
    4	                    6	           914	           0.66
    3	                   34	           914	           3.72
    2	                  183	           914	          20.02
    1	                  685	           914	          74.95
