| We have OLAP environment where 1 Clustered Index and Several Non-Clustered Indexes were for each table where there is no involvement for reindexing being attributed at any time (against to the practices of OLAP nature where redundancy of data is highly scalable).Is it good to DROP-RE-CREATE NON-CLUSTERED INDEX for those tables which are heavily populated, this becomes evident as users do complaint the slowness of output.Your expertise is much appreciated. |

| You can disable the non-clustered indexes during the loading of data - and rebuild them after the data has been loaded. This generally works well for data warehouse environments, but will depend on how much data already exists compared to how much data is being loaded.ALTER INDEX ... DISABLE; will disable the index, and then ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD; will rebuild and enable the index. |

| How do I know if I should create an non-clustered index on a clustered index or on a heap?I read in a site that, if data is queried typically on one particular column, it would be beneficial to build non-clustered index upon a clustered index, but when the creation of non clustered index on heap is beneficial.Somebody please get me out of this doubt.-- Thanks and RegardsSrikar Reddy Gondesi,BTECH-IT 2013 Passed Out,Trainee for SQL Server Administration,Miracle Software systems, Inc. |
