0.1 type of pages
sql server divides space(storage) into pages
i am :
store location of tables or indexes (mall directory)
stores info about pages
used by index tablesdata：
it holds data from tables
actual data
CI leaf level
HEAPindex:
used by index to point to different nodes or data;
pointers to intermediate or leaf level
CI root/Intermediate
NCI root/inter/leaflob pages:
Data is stored in the pages. Size of the page is 2 GB. Used by columns which have VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX), IMAGE,
TEXT, and Column Store Index
0.1.1 page
- each of pages : 8 kb
- only come from one table
8 kb: the smallest unit of storage ;data from only one table is allowed per page)
0.2 page has 3 section
0.2.1 header:
- page number
- next & previous pages
- extent number
- space remaining in pages
- 96 Bytes
0.2.2 data rows
- rows from table
0.2.3 offset
- it is a number that references size of rows, if there are 10 rows in a page,there will be 10 offset values.
ps: we can know the record size from the datatype
0.3 extent
Extent is next smallest unit of storage after a page. Size of it is 8*8KB = 64 KB. It holds 8 pages.
extent -----> 8 pages ----> 64kb
row indentifier(RID): extent+page+offset value
0.3.1 type of extent
- mixed extent:
Multiple tables share the extent/pages within the extent. - uniform extent:
All the pages are allocated to 1 table.
0.4 heap
- a table without clustered index
a cluster table: a table with clustered index
-problem: table scan (要找所有page,slow)
0.5 index keys
1.1 what is index?
it is a dbo(database object), which sorts data logically/physicially to retrieve data faster
- DBO’s used to sort and optimize data fetch time
- Operate similar to index in a book
- When created, an index will create a dynamic Balance Tree
- Keys =/= Indexes
- Tables without a Clustered Index are called HEAP Tables
- Indexes can use a Max of 32 Columns or 900B of data （16 columns before 2016)
1.1.1 nci vs ci
logical sort: index will point you right location to find data
书后面的字母目录
nci: non clustered indexphysicial sort: 数据就在index旁边, only can sort in one way
所以只能有一个 clustered index
why we only one clustered index?
physical store; sort in one direction（只能用一种储存方式）
国内查电话的黄书
cluster index
1.2 Balance Tree (b tree)
https://blog.staynoob.cn/post/2017/06/btree-data-structure/
1.2.1 3 types of levels
- root node :
one table can have only one , root node only have 1 page - intermediate node:
one table can have multiple intermediate node
opitional dependent on data - leaf node :
one table can have only one leaf node; leaf node can have multiple pages
Each Node is about 8KB in size
8060B for data (for storing data)
132B for pointers
8192B in TotalEach Index created will have a Balance tree structure to be used, but the type of Index will determine how data is stored in a Balance Tree
Clustered Indexes will stored data in Leaf Pages and sort them based on the Key values of the column you choose.
why only one pk? there no other room to store clusted index?
- Non-Clustered Indexes will NOT store data in the Leaf Pages, instead they’ll point to the rows they’re referencing
b tree
1.3 Clustered Index
- A clustered index will physically move the data from the table into it’s Balance Tree in the same order;
- The data is now matching physically and logically
- Data is sorted based on ascending order for the column chosen, this becomes the clustering key
- This is why there can only be 1 Clustered Index on a table, data can only be physically sorted and stored once
- Create Clustered Index NAME On TABLENAME (COL1,COL2)
clusteded index
1.4 Non-Clustered on HEAP
- A Non-Clustered Index on a HEAP table will have it’s B-Tree use pointers to locate where the data is
- Non-Clustered Indexes on a HEAP table will use Row Identifiers to logically say where data is, but not physically move it
- Since Non-Clustered Indexes do not physically move or sort data, there can be many on a single table. Currently up to 999 different Indexes
- Row Identifiers will use a numbering system to find data. �Extent – Page – Offset
extent: which real page is???
page: divided in 8 sections
offset:
- Create Non Clustered Index NAME On TABLENAME (COL1, COL2)
note:
page中，格式是，左边nci，右边extent-page-offset（row identifier)
1.4.1 two way to bring data
- table scan
- NCI seek + RID look up
(sql server选择cost小的, it depends on how many records
eg: 如果只有一条记录就是 nci seek+ rip look up; 很多条记录就会是table scan）
回答问题时候，要两种都说

1.5 Non-Clustered on Clustered
- A Non-Clustered Index on a table with a Clustered Index must now grab data from the B-Tree of the CI. So data will come up through the Root of the CI and fall into the Leaf Pages of the NCI
- The CI will use Key Identifiers that will take the clustering key of the CI to find data and bring it to the NCI Leaf Pages
- The Key Identifiers will store the key value in the Leaf Pages to help point to the data. The key values will depend on the CI columns being used
- If looking for the name of an employee whose ID is 3, the key value might say Bruce : 3
notes
find value ?
way 1: scan
way 2: non-clustered index + key value

1.6 Seek vs Scan in Indexes
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/apgcdsd/2012/08/01/sql-serverscan-seek/
1.6.1 seek
- Seek out the direct data needed
- Faster and uses less resources if the query is designed for seeking data
- Goal for indexes is to provide the ability to Seek
1.6.1.1 cluster index seek
if sql server knows exactly (in which page) where the data is and reads only those leaf pages which has required data it is calles CI Seek.
usually this is the best way to bring data.
this happens when the column used for index is used in where clause.
root node 有 index(id)的值
1.6.1.2 non clustered index seek
as nci has impact on what columns are in select list and columns used asre in nci it goes for nci seek
1.6.2 scan
- Scan a lot of data to find the information being sought after
- Slower than Seeking, but will still depend on the nature of the query being used to find data
in the where condition, 里面找的不是clustered index的信息，就是scan
1.6.2.1 table scan
- when SQL SERVER has to go through all pages that belong to table(table does not have any indexes) to retrive data it is called table scan
- usually this is not good for data retrieval performance
不知道前后page,必须去iam
eg:看视频，看完p1，问老师，看完p2，问老师
1.6.2.2 cluster index scan
if sql server has to read through all the leaf pages of the index to retrieve required data it is called as CI scan. usually this is better than table scan not the best way to bring data.
eg:看视频，问老师，老师说看完p1看p2再看p3
有了b tree,先去root找page,再去page中
eg:
select * from batch
- 去IAM
2.去page
3.直到找到所有相关信息
1.6.2.3 NCI scan
the column in the list are part of index and no search condition is defined
select fname
from person_b30
1.7 Advanced Types of Indexes
1.7.1 Covering Index
- Used to fix Bookmark Lookup
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/sql/sql-server-2008-r2/ms180920(v=sql.105)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
bookmark lookup stop in 2008
- Include more columns up to 1023
bookmark lookup:
when we use converting index?
index seek + key lookup太cost了
can use clustered index on pk,others use covering index
1.7.2 Full Text Index (FTI)
- Allows indexing and searching for string or character based data
- create word tokens(hash value: unique value for same word?)
- 可以使用stop words(i,is,when...)
- FTI column can use 2GB
- only can have one FTI for table
- if you want 2+ FTI， use include()
- up to 1023 columns can be include
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON table_name (column_name1 [...], column_name2 [...]) ...
1.7.2.1 limination of CI/NCI (why use full text index)
- 大于900bytes
- seaech happens char by char
- search for forms (ex:run,running,ran)
- index is created based on all characters
- synonyms defined by user
1.7.2.2 Steps are taken in the creation of a full text index
- create A CATALOG (logical container which can hold multiple FTI index)
- create FTI
- POPULATE index
( as fti creates an internal structures for all words, if there is cause volume of data, this process can take long time,so we want to do it in non business hours)
1.7.2.3 freetext()
- Find all words with similar meanings
- College (University, School, etc)
1.7.2.4 cintains()
- Find exact words or phrases
- Can use logical operators
1.7.3 Filtered Index
- Index only the values that fall into the condition
- Uses Where condition
it is an opition in nci, where indexing happens only on filtered set( sub set) of data.
https://www.cnblogs.com/woodytu/p/4509812.html
1.7.3.1 用在什么情况？
- large volume data; 并且只想要几年的数据
- 需要创建ssn，每个有ssn的值都要unique，但是也允许空值
1.7.3.2 advantage & limitations
- Advantages
- As Index is created on subset of data size and depth of Index is less, so maintenance and size would be small.
- Data searched within the scope of index is much faster as the data Indexed is less.
- If there is a scenario where we need UNIQUE values in the column which can support multiple NULL values.
- Limitations
- WHERE condition defined for filtering data has to Deterministic (Static)
- Certain functions and operators like BETWEEN are not supported in WHERE condition.
1.7.4 Indexed Views (materialized view)
a solution for creating two CI on a single table
- Allows for two Clustered indexes on the same data set
- Data kept in Sync
- VIEW should be SCHEMABINDING.
- There should be a column or set of columns that should have unique identifier.
- NCI are possible only when there is a CI on the VIEW
- While searching for data on the VIEW/Table SQL Server can use indexes either from VIEW or Table.
数据小的时候，就会去index view - can not use CTE, derived table
- clustered view创建之后，如果插入新的值给table,index view也会自动更新
1.7.4.1 when we use?
- When we want to have 2 CIs on same data set
- If an organization doesn't have cubes and want to generate some reports based on multiple tables with some calculations and other functions. Reports developed using VIEWs and SP's might be slow, to solve this situation we can create a VIEW retrieving data from multiple table and calculations and index it, so that data is pulled directly from B Tree of VIEW not from underlying tables.
- In some organizations reports are pulled from cubes but for some reason if they cannot access cubes (maintenance, bugs, network issues) then indexed views are used as back up option for generating reports.
1.9 column store index
1.9.1 limitation of row store index
- data big, need a lot of page number of reading page is high
- storing duplicate values
- bring on unneed info to ram/buffer
1.9.2 CSI
- each column is called as segment
- max 1M for values
- row groups: each segments related rows
A rowgroup is a group of rows that are compressed into columnstore format at the same time. A rowgroup usually contains the maximum number of rows per rowgroup, which is 1,048,576 rows.
For high performance and high compression rates, the columnstore index slices the table into rowgroups, and then compresses each rowgroup in a column-wise manner. The number of rows in the rowgroup must be large enough to improve compression rates, and small enough to benefit from in-memory operations.
- doesn't sort data
- segements are stored in LOB PAGES (2GB)
解决了第一个问题
-解决第二个问题：
eg:title都是重复的title,把他们变成数字+title (dictoniary),int比varchar更省内存
1.9.2.1
- local dictoniary: only one segement
- golbal dictionary: multiple segement
1.9.2 2种压缩方式：
- 只有dictionary
- tuple number
- 先有dictionary+tuple number(higher level compression)
1.9.3版本比较
image.png
1.9.4 ADVANTAGE of CSI
- data is stored in form of column segements which helps in bringing only those columns which are selected.
- as data is stored as columns higher compression is possible. SS can use dicitonaries for reapeted values and use INT in the place of CHARACTER or DATE data types.
- SS needs to read less number of pages as around a Million values are stored in a Segment, so large volume of data is stored in fewer LOB pages.
- SS can use batch processing (ps: other processing is row by row processing)
1.9.5 disadvantages
- CSI cannot help in compression if the data does not have lot of duplicates.
- As data is not sorted in csi, retrieved of few records is not efficient. So it is only helpful in those systems where we need large valume of data retrieval. EX:DWH,DM
- DML operations are handled in a different way compared to ROW Store Indexes, this adds up some overhead to SS.
1.9.5.1 DML
DML INSERT
- <1 M,不会直接insert to CIS, it will insert in CI(delta store),after the data arrieved 1M,the state will show OPEN, and it will use TUPLE MOVER
- less than 1M it will insert into CSI
DML DELETE
it will not delete physicialy,it will create the matrix,untill rebuild
delta store:
it is a structure like CI, which is used by SS for Insert and Update operations on
1.10 note
Can we create non clustered index with PK?
YesCan we create an index without UK and PK?
YesCan we create a PK with non unique non clustered index?
NoCan we create a CI on a VARCHAR column?
YesCan we create CI on DATE column?
YesCan we create CI on multiple columns?
Yes, it is called as composite index.
1.11 what is difference between clustered CSI and Nonclustered CSI?
- clustered CSI 不能存image,如果存了会报错
- 只能存成nonclustered CSI,（id,name)
