A guy registers for my new Power of Personal Worth program to begin in September. He did this when I had a discount offer a couple of months ago. But his credit card was denied. We sent him a notice and told him he'd have to resubmit.
He wrote me two days ago to say the notice was just found in his spam folder, and he'd like to know how to get the original, expired, discounted price. So: He sends a credit card that isn't honored by his bank, doesn't check his own mail or has the wrong filters, and wants me to make an allowance for him.
That's not self-worth, which involves accountability, that's victimization as an art form. None of it's his fault, so I should make it up t0 him.
There's a free lesson if you want to take control of your life.

As with the brilliant cut diamond, fancy shapes can also be cut too broad or too narrow; and the pavilion can be too deep or too shallow. You may want to check the invitation before going out and buying a dress for the wedding so that you don't go overdressed or look out of place. Visit Lesley-Ann's wedding blog for more free wedding planning help and advice.
It can be chipped or broken, open or large (almost all modern cut diamonds have culet that come nearly to a point), or it can be missing altogether. White gold promise rings can be exchanged as a sign of friendship, a sign of purity in the relationship between two people, or to signify a promise to oneself to abstain from vices until a certain date. Nowadays, white gold jewelry is sometimes even plated with rhodium.
Second, the diamond culet can frequently be the source of a problem. Find a skirt that will explode their fashion sense while giving them a way to dress that is cool at the same time for everyone. Anne Clarke writes numerous articles for websites on gardening, parenting, fashion, shopping and home decor.
There are several cutting faults to watch for in round diamonds. For the young girls Teaching a young girl all about fashion is easy in these modern times. There are so many ways to add a flair to what one is wearing, and the easiest way to teach about fashion is to use ideas about what makes you feel good, what makes you comfortable and what complements your curves at the same time.
Remember that some diamond's cutting faults will make a stone more vulnerable to breakage. The gypsy skirt is not one that only those who enjoy music are going to wear, but also those who are fashion conscience. As to the fashion world today, the cropped short shirts, the belly rings, and the feeling of needing freedom are major reasons why the gypsy skirts are making a new appearance.
Understanding diamonds requires knowledge of the basic four elements, the color, cut, clarity and carat. Some of the biggest stars have countless pairs of Chanel earrings and will continue to collect them. Many every day people collect Chanel logo earrings because they are understated, simple, but they are still able to bring any outfit more upscale because they are Chanel.
The best source for fine Diamond, gemstone, and Pearl Jewelry on the Web Faulty diamonds. The ancient Greeks also believed pearls should be a part of the wedding. They thought pearls would bring love and all guests of the wedding were adorned in pearls.
When buying any fancy colored diamond be sure to ask whether or not the color is natural, and be sure the bill of sale and any accompanying certification or appraisal specifies whether the color is natural or induced. Needless to say, men's rings vary from the ostentatious bling of the MTV generation to the more subtle, sophisticated silver titanium rings. Mens watches, mens rings in fact anything a man can put on show is the key to nifty accessorising.
Most colored diamonds found in nature tend to be pastel. There are all sorts of styles and fashions of handbags that will suit the taste of any discerning woman in the whole world. Visit us today at our free purse patterns site and stay ahead of the fashion curve.
Michael Russell Your Independent guide to Diamonds It used to be that it was very hard to get any real choice when buying girl plus size clothing, but these days things are a little easier. With every season or fashion line that the infamous Dior introduces there are usually several handbags that will be able to mix and match with every outfit in the line. The great thing is that with Dior it doesn't really matter if a particular handbag is from this season, last season, or ten seasons ago because they all seem to blend in well with current and past fashion trends, making all of the designer handbags Christian Dior crafts a great buy for everyone.
In the 19th century, Napoleon gave his wife Marie Louise an exquisite diamond necklace on the birth of their son. You can wear your Chanel Pearl sunglasses when you go to the beach, but you can also wear them and look great when you go to an outdoor wedding, a baseball game, a picnic, anywhere really. Many people spend more on brands such as Oakley and they don't look nearly as fashionable as those that buy Chanel Pearl sunglasses do.
This is one reason why the color of any fine diamond should always be verified by a qualified gemologist. Fall 2006 jewelry keywords are gold, natural, color, bold, and movement. Nature will be the fastest growing influence on the jewelry looks this fall.
In diamonds over one carat, the more white the stone, the more critical it becomes to know the exact color grade of its effect on value. It is readily apparent when making the comparison that online jewelry shopping gives the consumer a wider product selection and clear cut payment procedures. When added together with the ease of shopping from home, and having all of the information at your fingertips, is it any wonder that online jewelry sales have increased greatly in the past several years.
Grades M - Z will show progressively more and more tint of color, and will have a definite yellowish or brownish cast; diamonds with a strong yellowish tint are often referred to as cape stones in trade. Another asset of online jewelry shopping is faster delivery service. Most online jewelry stores do not have actual brick and mortar stores, so they are able to give you the item at a large discount, usually close to wholesale price.
The finest and most expensive, white diamonds are absolutely colorless. Try stealing one of her rings and bring it to the shop with you so you ll have a size basis. Keep these points in mind when shopping for an engagement ring for your bride-to-be.
As a general rule, the position of any given inclusion will progressively downgrade and devalue a diamond as indicated below. In the jewelry business, there are 200 known kinds that are used. The most expensive of the three watch faces is the sapphire crystal.
How does the position of a flaw affect a diamond's grading value. Many online retailers allow customers to design their own ring, making it that much more exciting to find the perfect anniversary ring for the perfect mate. It can be cut to take many shapes and forms -- making it ideal for many applications, including fashion accessories.
Because that's why you are buying a yellow diamond for it's amazing, heart pounding beauty and the magic it bestows on the luck lady (or man) that wears it. Silver was widely used in the Greek islands however only a few simple vessels, rings, pins, and headbands survive. Islamic jewelry of the early period is therefore extremely rare, represented only by a few items, such as buckles and bracelets of the Mongol periods and such pieces as the Gerona silver chest in Spain and the Berlin silver tankard of the 13th century, with embossed reliefs of animal friezes.
Men should not forget the commitment that comes with an engagement ring, no matter the price, the style or how large the diamond is in the ring. Pricing Titanium jewelry is in general cheaper than tungsten jewelry primarily due to the difference in equipment and environment control need to produce them. Engraving and resizing Titanium wedding rings can be engraved and resized.
Today, diamonds are used to symbolize eternity and love. Another thing about the fake Gucci watch is that the links in the band or bracelet will be hollow, also adding to its lighter weight. The United Kingdom is just as into designers and high fashion as the United States is, they just can't seem to get enough of it.

It was just another Monday when a man walked up to the parking lot of a Rosewood grocery store – naked.
He was not combative or acting erratic, Columbia police officers said. He was just standing there around 7 p.m., in mid-January. Officers would later find his clothes about a mile away, near Devine Street.
"He was looking up at the sky, and saying he was waiting on a sign," said Capt. Christopher Roberts, the area's region commander for the Columbia Police Department. "Officers talked to him accordingly, in a calm way."
Officers determined the man was suffering from an episode related to his mental illness. Instead of being arrested, he was taken to a hospital, Roberts said.
Roberts attributed the response to training Columbia police officers undergo as part of their recertification process. It's the kind of training mental health advocates are hoping to expand to all of the state's law enforcement agencies through proposals making their way through the Legislature.
Lawmakers in both the House and Senate have introduced bills that would require law enforcement officers to complete training in mental health or addictive disorders as part of recertification.
Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Kershaw, sponsor of the Senate bill, said it's unfair to place law enforcement officers in situations they're not trained to deal with when they're confronted with a mentally ill person.
"This is to not try to deal with the issue after an arrest, but actually try to help our law enforcement officers and our mentally ill before things escalate," Sheheen said. "The goal here is to train all law enforcement in de-escalation techniques, and how to cope with people who aren't necessarily criminals, but suffer from mental illness."
Warehoused in jails and prisons
Officers without proper training can have difficulty determining whether a person they're interacting with is mentally ill.
That can lead to the mentally ill being sent to jail for misdemeanors such as loitering, talking to themselves loudly or being a nuisance, said Bill Lindsey, executive director of the South Carolina affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a nonprofit organization that aims to raise awareness about those affected by mental illnesses.
It can get worse with incarceration, because mental illness can go undiagnosed. Without proper treatment, mentally ill inmates often have time added to their detention or sentence for failing to comply with the directions of jail or prison staffers. The mentally ill usually serve two to two-and-a-half times more time than non-mentally ill inmates, Lindsey said.
"Mental illness is the only disease where people get arrested for having an illness," Lindsey said. "It's a medical issue, not a judicial issue."
Paton Blough, an Upstate resident who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, said a manic episode led to his first arrest. He was arrested six times between 2005 and 2008 because of his illness. Half of those arrests turned violent because he feared police were there to kill him.
Blough discovered legislation in Indiana similar to the bills under consideration by both S.C. legislative chambers. He reached out to lawmakers to sponsor legislation here, because he believes it's vital for officers to the right way to approach a person suffering from a mental episode.
"This bill is important because it saves lives, it helps keep families together. … It's the right thing to do," Blough said. "This is a moral issue."
A slow process
Boosting training, however, can come at a cost.
In mid-February, when the House bill was discussed before a panel, Rep. Eddie Tallon, R-Spartanburg, worried about the time training would take away from officers being on the streets patrolling. Tallon suggested another approach.
"It should be done at the academy," he said. "It should be done as soon as an officer goes through training."
Would-be officers get training in recognizing people with mental illnesses, but the exact amount of training time is difficult to pin down. Though there is one four and a half-hour designated block of training, cadets get additional training on mental illnesses when learning about harassment, domestic violence and other issues, said Florence McCants, spokeswoman for the S.C. Criminal Justice Academy.
The House panel ultimately suspended debate on the bill without voting on it. Meanwhile, a Senate panel stripped some components of that chamber's bill on Wednesday before advancing it.
The Senate panel added a requirement that all of the state's law enforcement officers – even those with limited arresting capabilities – undergo the training, at the suggestion of Mark Keel, chief of the State Law Enforcement Division.
Through funding allocated in the state budget, National Alliance on Mental Illness trainers already travel to several law enforcement agencies throughout the state to teach a 40-hour course. The decision to have officers undergo the 40-hour training currently lies with the head of each agency.
Lindsey said the course, which is taught to about 20 officers at a time, is intensive. But it allows officers to put into practice what they've learned through simulations.
Ideally, the proposed bills would mandate that course for those in training at the academy, Lindsey said. The academy is better equipped to house cadets. But Lindsey said he's OK with any of the bills, if they lead to more officers being trained.
"If somebody is at the point that police are called, they are in some sort of agitated, advanced state of psychosis," Lindsey said. "Nine times out of 10, that person is terrified. If officers can be able to de-escalate a situation like that, it would lead to a much better outcome."

Home > Services > Rehabilitation > Rehabilitation Specialists Help Car Crash Victim Get His Life Back
Published on May 26, 2016
"You can be in another person's shoes quick and fast." Charlie Huff Jr. should know. He was coming home from work shortly after midnight one Friday when a car pulled out just in front of him and then another crashed into him from behind, launching his car into a triple rollover.
Charlie found himself paralyzed, hanging upside down, and stuck in his car. Emergency workers cut the car doors off and the seatbelt off of him. Once at Moses Cone Hospital's Emergency Department, the staff there got to work: they stitched up a gash in his head and found two broken vertebrae in his neck, which they stabilized with a hard neck collar. The left side of his body was weak . . . and still is.
But Charlie got his life back thanks to his own hard work and the skill and encouragement of therapists at Cone acute care, Inpatient Rehab, home health care and at Cone Health Outpatient Rehab in Charlie's hometown of Reidsville, where he continues to improve.
Charlie remembers everything, from the initial impact to being stuck in the car, to the demanding schedule of occupational and physical therapy at Inpatient Rehab. Therapy would start at 7:30 a.m. with retraining on the basics: how to bathe and get dressed. He would have another session at 9:00, then another after lunch. He needed to learn to grab a spoon and cup again, how to walk again . . . and 32 days later, Charlie went home.
He continued his improvement at home, and soon he was able to get out of the house. He transitioned to Annie Penn for outpatient therapy. He still wore a neck stabilization collar then, and at first, because his left leg could give out when he walked, his wife needed to push him into therapy in a wheelchair.
Not anymore. Charlie just keeps getting better. He's walking with a four-footed cane and is so independent with that he's graduated from physical therapy. He can grip with his left hand and get a cup of water to his mouth. And, he says, "due to therapy I can raise my hands to do some praise." As a longtime deacon at his church, that's important to him.
Charlie is tickled with his improvement. He credits Cone's therapists with pushing him and other patients in a way that's encouraging. "Come on, man, you can do this!" Charlie laughs at how the therapists weren't just checking his physical status, but also his mental well-being. They often asked questions to probe his memory, and he liked that aspect of his rehab, too.
All of that is important to Charlie's life with his wife of 45 years, his two kids, three grandkids, his former co-workers, and lots of church members he has guided over many years. We're glad to see Charlie's positive attitude continue to influence others in our community.
That positive attitude is more powerful than the damage done by the drunk driver who pulled out in front of Charlie and the driver who hit him from behind while texting that fateful Friday night.
Go, Charlie!

Career Description: Sommelier
Career Description
A Sommelier has various duties to perform, he has responsibilities that range from training staff in spectacular wine service to suggesting which wine would go well with a particular meal all the way to owning a wine cellar and getting rich off of the gargantuan profits. The main thing you have to learn to get to this sort of position is that you have to know your wines by heart. You also must have an extreme appreciation for wine and also have finely tuned wine instincts.
Training Required
A good thing about this job is that you don't have to go to college to get yourself this wonderful sophisticated job. Although you do need to take courses to get your certification as a sommelier they do not take that long the length ranges from a 4 week course to a more advanced 20 week course. The pinnacle of the sommelier education system is taking the three-part program that the Court of Master Sommeliers offers, after you complete that you can become a master sommelier, a title which a scant 40 hold in the United States.
Starting out you make in the range of 30000-40000 but if you are smart you can work your way up to getting a cut of the restaurant's wine profits and potentially being extremely rich.
Most likely you would have to move for a job like this, unless you already live in a big city, obviously a city like Regina with its lack of fine dining would not be a great place to go if you were looking for a job as a sommelier.
Other General Information
Something I haven't mentioned so far is the drawbacks to being a sommelier, well it's hard to believe but there are some, one is long days and even longer nights, most restaurants don't close until well into the evening, and you have to be in there all the time advising the clientele. There are some perks that I haven't talked about yet either, you get to taste some of the finest wines on Earth as a sommelier even if you get hired at a small restaurant as you craft the wine list you must taste these exotic breeds of wine. The pinnacle of the sommeliers is to buy an estate and construct your own wine cellar and then sell the wine to extravagant restaurants.
Recording Engineer
Career Description
A recording engineer is also known as a sound engineer or an audio engineer. Recording engineers do a lot of tasks, but mainly they are responsible for the technical aspects of a sound recording, generally they also work closely with a record producer or director. Nevertheless, the audio engineer's role is very similar to one of the producer. It seems as if audio engineers need to do a lot of things as they handle almost every aspect of a recording studio or a similar institution that houses audio equipment. So I would assume that they have to learn how all those objects work.
Training Required
Surprisingly, there is no real concrete college courses that are required to work as a sound engineer, but that does not mean it is a menial job, you must be very in tune with the latest sound systems, they must above all be able to adapt to the newest computer sound technology. Therefore there is a lot of self-training that needs to be done.
According to the 2003 Alberta wage and salary survey. Recording engineers earn anywhere from 20,400 per year to 55,500 per year, although when you get more experienced you can expect to earn up to 60,000 dollars per year which isn't too shabby a living.
This seems to be a job that is available wherever there is clubs or places that use sound as their main attraction, therefore a discotheque type place or a studio would be an example of a place that could use a recording engineer. So it would mostly be a big city, Regina might be a pretty good place because of the several clubs in town plus there is a small local music scene that may be advantageous for engineers.
Equipment that you would expect...

However, there is one type that is remarkably brilliant, charismatic and driven.
A self-starter and problem solver by nature, this leader excels with challenges and has the powerful ability to get things moving quickly. While extremely beneficial to any company focusing on immediate growth, they may prove to be amongst the most difficult — especially if they trample on people's emotions in the interest of obtaining results.
Such toxic leaders are often depicted as bullies, schemers, untrustworthy and insensitive. Simply put, they're jerks that often leave a trail of undermined, demoralized and disempowered employees.

Loki teaches the Cookie Monster
This clip from Sesame Street cracks me up. The Cookie Monster meets Loki... er, Tom Hiddleston, who both teaches Cookie Monster a lesson about delayed gratification and tricks him. And I think that it is awesome because it is more of the Loki that I know than the comic book/movie version.
(For those who are unaware, yes, I am one of those modern day pagans who have dealings with Loki, the Norse trickster god...who does not seem to be nearly the villain that late Norse mythology made him out to be--in fact, late Norse mythology [and the recording thereof] may have been heavily influenced by Christianity--therefore, I tend to trust my personal experiences more about his true character.)

I seldom write responses, but i did some searching and
wound up here "tonhalle quartet". And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be only me or does it seem like some of these remarks appear like they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you
have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page
or linkedin profile?

|Deviant Art
|I started drawing when I was very little although fell out of the hobby shortly. As little kids we tend to pick up and forget things easily, after all. But it wasn't until my freshman year of high school did I start to find interest again. Through the indirect help of the artists who most inspired me I took up a pencil and began putting it to paper. That was four years ago and I have progressed much from where I was then to where I am now. Recently I've taken a step back to find my calling in art and now that I finally see it I've come back in a power stroke using everything I know and have learned over time to produce pieces that I once had only dreamed of being capable of. I am where I want to be now, although that doesn't mean I'll ever stop learning and improving!

AlwaysON database NOT SYNCHRONIZED and RECOVERY PENDING
AlwaysON database NOT SYNCHRONIZED and RECOVERY PENDING
I have recently come across an issue that, one of my alwaysON secondary replica databases are went into "NOT SYNCHRONIZED and RECOVERY PENDING" state. It is a geo cluster alwaysON with 4+2 nodes configured in both synchronous and asynchronous mode.
The issue is when the database removed from the primary replica, with the secondary disconnection the higher database IDs on the secondary went into "NOT SYNCHRONIZED and RECOVERY PENDING" state, but the lower database IDs are good and synchronous state only.
I just checked with one of the Microsoft MSFT and he said it considers as a bug. "Since, it occurs a DDL change on the Availability Group as the primary, while a secondary replica server is down".
I just reproduced the same. It is a two node synchronous replica server.
Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0
I have not tested it on SQL 2014.
1. Create five databases.
CREATE DATABASE dba
CREATE DATABASE dba1
CREATE DATABASE dba2
CREATE DATABASE dba3
CREATE DATABASE dba4
2. Created a test availability group and added a five databases in synchronous mode.
3. Stop SQL Instance for Secondary Replica.
4. On the Primary Replica issue TSQL to remove a database from availability group.
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AG-Test] REMOVE DATABASE dba2;
5. Start SQL Instance for the Secondary Replica.
You can see that, databases whose IDs are higher than the one removed dba2 are going to "NOT SYNCHRONIZED / RECOVERY PENDING" mode.
DB ID – 9, 10 for dba,dba1 - Good
DB ID – 11 for dba2 - Removed DB
DB ID – 12,13 for dba3, dba4 went into SYNCHRONIZED / RECOVERY PENDING.
The fix and work around is resume other databases that are stuck in secondary replica.
6. On the Secondary replica that has stuck databases, for each stuck database remove (will make it DB into restoring mode) and add (will make it DB into synchronized mode).
Remove a Secondary Database from an AG --> https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231120.aspx
Join a Secondary Database to an AG --> https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878535.aspx
Repeat for each stuck database.
The database that had been removed <dba2> could be in any number of states, but after it finishes its recovery process, it should return to a RESTORING state.
7. On primary replica, Add the removed database --> primary replica --> right click AG databases-->select database --> join only --> connect the secondary --> finish.
In case, if you get any following error, check the backup table and restore a log backup with norecovery mode in all the secondary replica. Which are all missed or run during that time.
Msg 1478, Level 16, State 211, Line 1
The mirror database, 'DBA2', has insufficient transaction log data to preserve the log backup chain of the principal database. This may happen if a log backup from the principal database has not been taken or has not been restored on the mirror database.
Added: Thanks Amit Banerjee for your reply. I just reported to the connect.
AlwaysON move database without breaking HADR
Move database without breaking alwaysON
This post is going to show the database movement from one drive to another drive, without breaking the database from alwaysON configuration. An application has created the many databases to both primary and secondary replica servers to the default location of C drive.
There are methods like detach/attach, backup/restore & alter database. For alwaysON HADR servers, the best method is Alter database. Since it is in the mirror/sync mode. Detach/attach will not work and backup/ restore, we need to break databases from the HADR.
It's a two node synchronous replica, if you have more replica, you should plan each well.
If you have any standalone database (Without adding DBs into HADR), you need to plan for the downtime. Since, the secondary replica servers need to take down.
In primary, for high transaction system, make sure you have good space for transaction files.
Before going to start the database movement, write the script for each step and you can write a dynamic SQL for larger number databases. That's what I did, since I had many databases. It will minimize the time.
- In primary server, suspend the database movement to all secondary databases. It will stop the sending the log to the secondary, which can increase the log size https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878303.aspx
ALTER DATABASE <DB name> SET HADR suspend
GUI: Expand the AG group and right click the DB -->suspend data movement
- Change the Readable secondary to 'NO' for all the secondary replicas, otherwise you will get an error.
- To use ALTER DATABASE, the database must be in a writable state in which a checkpoint can be executed.
Right click the primary replica alwaysON group --> properties --> Readable secondary --> No
- Note down all the files and file location from the system tables.
select db_name(a.database_id),a.name,a.physical_name,size/128.0 AS CurrentSizeMB,*
from sys.master_files a join sys.databases b
on a.database_id =b.database_id
--where a.physical_name like 'c%'
--and a.database_id >4
--and type_desc <>'rows'
order by a.name
- On the mirror server run the "ALTER DATABASE <DB name> MODIFY FILE" command. You need to run this for each database.
use master
ALTER DATABASE <DB_name> MODIFY FILE (NAME =<logical name>
,FILENAME ='F:\SQL_DATA\DB_name.mdf')
- On the secondary replica server stop the SQL Server instance.
- Move the database file (MDF & LDF) files to the changed location (Cut & Paste).
- Start the SQL Server instance and check the file locations using the above query.
- In primary replica server resume the database by using the following ALTER DATABASE statement:
ALTER DATABASE <DB name> SET HADR Resume
GUI: Expand the AG group and right click the DB -->resume data movement
- Change the Readable secondary to 'Yes'
Fail over and repeat the steps for the partner server.
Additionally, if you add any files in the primary and the folder name is incorrect in the secondary, the database will go into suspend mode.
Just check the error log, you can get more info on, why the database is suspended mode.
Error: 5123, Severity: 16, State: 1.
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'L:\SQL_log\DB_name.ndf'.
Created the folder in secondary replica and resume the database, the resume database command will create a data file.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> SET HADR RESUME;
After a reply from Richard L. Dawson – I thought to add this as well. Thanks for that. This will help others as well.
You cannot take the database offline in both primary and secondary replica, unless we remove from alwaysON. Removing the database in the primary will make your secondary database into the recovery mode it is a default configuration.
Same as for secondary, you cannot remove it, it will make the databases into recovery mode and moreover the database will not remove from AG group.
Msg 1468, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation cannot be performed on database "DB" because it is involved in a database mirroring session or an availability group. Some operations are not allowed on a database that is participating in a database mirroring session or in an availability group.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
So moving physical database files needs a down/offline, we cannot move database and it requires the database need to be standalone not in the AG. We can run the alter database command and maybe can try this "DBCC SHRINKFILE (A, EMPTYFILE)". We know, how tough this is. http://www.bobpusateri.com/archive/2013/03/moving-a-database-to-new-storage-with-no-downtime/
We can remove the database from AG and can do this like, the process we follow for the normal database. If you have only one database and can afford downtime. Yes, we can do this. (OR) we can completely start from the scratch. There are many methods.
(1.Remove database from AG 2. Alter database and modify the file 3. Set offline 4. Cut & paste the physical file to the new location 5. Set back to the database online 6. Add the database into AG)
Note: If any log backup run during this process the LSN will not match with all the secondary replica, you need to restore with norecoery and need to add the database.
Performance Tuning Series – Main Part
Performance tuning is a tricky part. We need to analysis all points of view. Sometimes it is an easy fix and can be solved in a minute and sometimes it take a day or more to find and fix.
I received many emails for performance tuning help. It has a variety of questions, that how can we tune a query and how to find out what is going on in the server, since my application team is does not give a slow running code. The query only slowdown in some time period. My server is banging all time above 95% of resources.
Nowadays, every business has a tool that tiger an alert that resource (CPU, RAM) goes beyond the threshold, that's mostly from server/Infra team and it's easy to pull a month or a year report from the server and can ask DBAs, why would the server running always with high resources for the past few days/ months.
It's always a changeling job for DBAs to tune their system, we even keep all maintenance jobs like re-indexing and statistics update OR adding more RAM, CPU will not help, there are many things can come up. All we need to know, how to gather the information from server, database and code point of view and analysis them one by one.
Most of the time poorly written and designed query and schema will be the issue. Why I am saying so, you will come to know after reading this post.
(I mean the poorly build code is, it is not written in a set based, bad schema design, no indexes used in the where, join clause, pulling all the data even if it has a some column for filtering, high fragmentation, out of stats & parameter sniffing etc.)
We need to use techniques and need to capture the exact issue.
To cover this post, will make me to write some other post as well. Please refer the following post as well to get some more idea on the tuning.
Capturing the SQL server queries by using Whoisactive
Capturing the SQL server queries by using server side trace (Upcoming post: The link will be updated)
Tune query by looking execution plan and effective of the index creation (Upcoming post: The link will be updated)
The technique I/we DBAs mostly use: F&F - Find and Fix.
- Whoisactive powerful script – This will capture everything, what are all running on the server/ DB side, if we did not have much information from the application team use this.
- SQL server execution plan – Once, you have found the code, which is taking more time, go and run in the SSMS with actual execution plan and see what is going on behind the screen. Even, the Whoisactive has plan info, if you pass the @get_plans = 1 parameter.
I am classifying in three parts to get a clear picture on this.
- Server level analysis and tuning
- Database level analysis and tuning
- Query level analysis and tuning
Before Whoisactive and sp_blitz, I tend to check perfmon and the size of the database, server and database level parameter changes, more DMVs etc. The two scripts give more control to DBAs.
There is no rule that, we should check first something and second something so on. Like (Execution plan, index used or not, fragmentation, count (*) table, stats ect..)
It's always depends on environment. In some cases, the query might run for more than 10 hours or SP has 100 lines of code or the query might behave differently in runtime etc. We might take a help of an estimated plan to know the query without actual run OR take a look at query line by line.
Server and Database level analysis and tuning
More or less the server and database level checks are same. In the deeper it will take to query level only. That is what we keep saying the best practice of t-SQL writing will help the system at the top.
In common, we mostly get unknown parameter, I mean we need to find why the resource usages are peak, without having any information.
- Check the SQL server error log
EXEC Sp_readerrorlog 0
The error log is important to check, which logs all the information.
- Check the overall top wait type of the server, since from the last reboot
This is a fantastic script from Paul Randal, which shows the overall wait type percentage and additionally the explanation of each wait URL.
WITH [Waits] AS (SELECT [wait_type], [wait_time_ms] / 1000.0 AS [WaitS], ([wait_time_ms] - [signal_wait_time_ms]) / 1000.0 AS [ResourceS], [signal_wait_time_ms] / 1000.0 AS [SignalS], [waiting_tasks_count] AS [WaitCount], 100.0 * [wait_time_ms] / SUM ([wait_time_ms]) OVER() AS [Percentage], ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY [wait_time_ms] DESC) AS [RowNum] FROM sys.dm_os_wait_stats WHERE [wait_type] NOT IN ( N'BROKER_EVENTHANDLER', N'BROKER_RECEIVE_WAITFOR', N'BROKER_TASK_STOP', N'BROKER_TO_FLUSH', N'BROKER_TRANSMITTER', N'CHECKPOINT_QUEUE', N'CHKPT', N'CLR_AUTO_EVENT', N'CLR_MANUAL_EVENT', N'CLR_SEMAPHORE', -- Maybe uncomment these four if you have mirroring issues N'DBMIRROR_DBM_EVENT', N'DBMIRROR_EVENTS_QUEUE', N'DBMIRROR_WORKER_QUEUE', N'DBMIRRORING_CMD', N'DIRTY_PAGE_POLL', N'DISPATCHER_QUEUE_SEMAPHORE', N'EXECSYNC', N'FSAGENT', N'FT_IFTS_SCHEDULER_IDLE_WAIT', N'FT_IFTSHC_MUTEX', -- Maybe uncomment these six if you have AG issues N'HADR_CLUSAPI_CALL', N'HADR_FILESTREAM_IOMGR_IOCOMPLETION', N'HADR_LOGCAPTURE_WAIT', N'HADR_NOTIFICATION_DEQUEUE', N'HADR_TIMER_TASK', N'HADR_WORK_QUEUE', N'KSOURCE_WAKEUP', N'LAZYWRITER_SLEEP', N'LOGMGR_QUEUE', N'MEMORY_ALLOCATION_EXT', N'ONDEMAND_TASK_QUEUE', N'PREEMPTIVE_XE_GETTARGETSTATE', N'PWAIT_ALL_COMPONENTS_INITIALIZED', N'PWAIT_DIRECTLOGCONSUMER_GETNEXT', N'QDS_PERSIST_TASK_MAIN_LOOP_SLEEP', N'QDS_ASYNC_QUEUE', N'QDS_CLEANUP_STALE_QUERIES_TASK_MAIN_LOOP_SLEEP', N'QDS_SHUTDOWN_QUEUE', N'REDO_THREAD_PENDING_WORK', N'REQUEST_FOR_DEADLOCK_SEARCH', N'RESOURCE_QUEUE', N'SERVER_IDLE_CHECK', N'SLEEP_BPOOL_FLUSH', N'SLEEP_DBSTARTUP', N'SLEEP_DCOMSTARTUP', N'SLEEP_MASTERDBREADY', N'SLEEP_MASTERMDREADY', N'SLEEP_MASTERUPGRADED', N'SLEEP_MSDBSTARTUP', N'SLEEP_SYSTEMTASK', N'SLEEP_TASK', N'SLEEP_TEMPDBSTARTUP', N'SNI_HTTP_ACCEPT', N'SP_SERVER_DIAGNOSTICS_SLEEP', N'SQLTRACE_BUFFER_FLUSH', N'SQLTRACE_INCREMENTAL_FLUSH_SLEEP', N'SQLTRACE_WAIT_ENTRIES', N'WAIT_FOR_RESULTS', N'WAITFOR', N'WAITFOR_TASKSHUTDOWN', N'WAIT_XTP_RECOVERY', N'WAIT_XTP_HOST_WAIT', N'WAIT_XTP_OFFLINE_CKPT_NEW_LOG', N'WAIT_XTP_CKPT_CLOSE', N'XE_DISPATCHER_JOIN', N'XE_DISPATCHER_WAIT', N'XE_TIMER_EVENT') AND [waiting_tasks_count] > 0 ) SELECT MAX ([W1].[wait_type]) AS [WaitType], CAST (MAX ([W1].[WaitS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS [Wait_S], CAST (MAX ([W1].[ResourceS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS [Resource_S], CAST (MAX ([W1].[SignalS]) AS DECIMAL (16,2)) AS [Signal_S], MAX ([W1].[WaitCount]) AS [WaitCount], CAST (MAX ([W1].[Percentage]) AS DECIMAL (5,2)) AS [Percentage], CAST ((MAX ([W1].[WaitS]) / MAX ([W1].[WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS [AvgWait_S], CAST ((MAX ([W1].[ResourceS]) / MAX ([W1].[WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS [AvgRes_S], CAST ((MAX ([W1].[SignalS]) / MAX ([W1].[WaitCount])) AS DECIMAL (16,4)) AS [AvgSig_S], CAST ('https://www.sqlskills.com/help/waits/' + MAX ([W1].[wait_type]) as XML) AS [Help/Info URL] FROM [Waits] AS [W1] INNER JOIN [Waits] AS [W2] ON [W2].[RowNum] <= [W1].[RowNum] GROUP BY [W1].[RowNum] HAVING SUM ([W2].[Percentage]) - MAX( [W1].[Percentage] ) < 95; -- percentage threshold GO
See the results: SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD - 34%, CXPACKET - 13% waits, Do you think which means we need to add more CPU, Since the wait type indicates there is a high CPU, No, it does not mean that we need to go and add more CPU, It means further analysis needed to find the query which is waiting for those waits and why it is waiting and how can we make that do not wait. Yes, it can be tuned and the wait type will automatically reduce.
- Check the currently running sessions
select db_name (r.database_id),r.command,r.wait_resource,s.status,s.session_id, r.blocking_session_id,r.last_wait_type,r.open_transaction_count, * from sys.dm_exec_sessions s join sys.dm_exec_requests r on s.session_id =r.session_id where s.session_id >=51 and s.status <>'sleeping'and s.session_id <>@@SPID --and r.blocking_session_id<>0
- Check the server and database level parameter default and changes
Use, Brent Ozar's script https://www.brentozar.com/blitz/
It is an awesome script, which will help us to quickly analysis the server and database level non default parameter checks with suggestion etc. They have improved a lot. Please check the link and provide the email address and other details. They will send you the ZIP file location to your email address.
- Check the database level running query by DMVs OR Whoisactive
The best way is to use Whoisactive or there are many DMVs, just do some googling.
- Use the server side traces to capture the information of particular events
Upcoming post: I am going to write, how to collect the queries by using server side trace.
Query level tuning and code re-write
Query level tuning is more important, most of the time poorly built queries eats up all the resources, even if you have loads of CPU and RAM and no fragmentation and with updated stats.
There are some cases that, we get in real time we need to speed up the code without an actual run.
The following step is not exactly same that, you should follow in all the time. I just used this to show more information for this particular post.
I captured this query by using "Whoisactive". And there are many like this. And all cannot be shown here. See the wait type and it is almost matching with server over all wait.
I just took the third query, see how it performs and can be tuned and rewrite better.
It is a simple union all with join two tables. It does not have a clustered index, since there is no candidate/ high selectivity column for a clustered index.
SELECT DISTINCT j.* FROM
(SELECT temp81.*,[54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (High Temp)], [54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (High Temp)_REV],
[54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (Low Temp)], [54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (Low Temp) Rev]
FROM temp81 LEFT OUTER JOIN [54-80_table]
ON temp81.[54-80] = [54-80_table].Component
WHERE [54-80_table].[BOM_STATUS] IN ('ACT','C-ACT','CPROD','PROD','PPROD','QUAL','RISK')
SELECT temp62.*,Null,Null, [54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (High Temp)], [54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (High Temp)_REV],
[54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (Low Temp)], [54-80_table].[Wafer Sort Test Program (Low Temp) Rev]
FROM temp62 LEFT OUTER JOIN [54-80_table] ON temp62.[54-80] = [54-80_table].Component
WHERE [54-80_table].[BOM_STATUS] IN ('ACT','C-CT','CPROD','PROD','PPROD','QUAL','RISK')) j
The general query process. The optimization phase is an important one, since we can do something to make the SQL optimizer to right choice. (By updating stats, recompilation, filtered statistics & query hint etc). I will cover that in advanced tuning.
Query parsed --> Normalized as a query tree --> Complied/optimized --> Executed.
The first important two factors need to be looked in plan 1. Cost 2. Actual vs execution number of rows. I will show this in an advanced tuning article in detail about the rows difference, data skew etc and how to solve that.
1. Check the execution plan, how the query runs behind the screen to get some idea, where the cost is high and scan of the objects, join types etc.
Execution plan shows high cost for parallelism and sort. If we reduce that, it could be run better.
The normal query run time: 46:57 minutes.
2. Check the tables involved in the code and get the count (*) – number of records of the table. This will help us to target the big table regarding the fragmentation and statistics up to date.
Total number of records in the table.
select count(*) from temp81 with (nolock) --4984266
select count(*) from temp62 with (nolock) -- 6250470
select count(*) from [54-80_table] with (nolock) – 217
It is a heap and no non-clustered index as well – Statistics is nil maybe, some auto stats for column and fragmentation is low.
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(F.OBJECT_ID) obj,i.name ind, f.avg_fragmentation_in_percent, f.page_count,table_schema, avg_page_space_used_in_percent, forwarded_record_count FROM SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_PHYSICAL_STATS (DB_ID('Ops_matrix'),NULL,NULL,NULL,null) F JOIN SYS.INDEXES I ON(F.OBJECT_ID=I.OBJECT_ID)AND i.index_id=f.index_id JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES S with (nolock) ON (s.table_name=OBJECT_NAME(F.OBJECT_ID)) where f.database_id=DB_ID('Ops_matrix') and OBJECT_NAME(F.OBJECT_ID) in ('temp81','temp62','54-80_table') /*WHERE f.avg_fragmentation_in_percent>15 and f.page_count>=1000 AND f.database_id=DB_ID('Ops_matrix') AND OBJECTPROPERTY(I.OBJECT_ID,'ISSYSTEMTABLE')=0 and alloc_unit_type_desc = 'in_row_data' order by f.avg_fragmentation_in_percent desc */ /* ALTER TABLE temp81 REBUILD; UPDATE STATISTICS dbo.temp81 */
3. Check the table structure of the data type, clustered and non-clustered indexes. Select some top 10 rows and check the values stored in the column, match the data type as well, there are many cases I have seen the data type and table designed badly. Sometimes, the LOB datatype or the larger size has chosen, but the content stored in the column is very small.
Example: create table T10 (n ntext, n1 char( 700))
Note: SQL Server retains the 900-byte limit for the maximum total size of all index key columns.
sp_help 'tablename'
Almost all of the column of the table is nvarchar(510) and it's a Unicode characters for business needs.
4. Re-index the index and heap table.
There is no index to rebuild. I rebuilt the table/heap and updated the stats for table.
ALTER TABLE temp81 REBUILD;
UPDATE STATISTICS dbo.temp81
5. Create the index for the where clause, join columns and see the result.
Created index, but SQL optimizer is not using it. Since, the optimizer is smart and it thinks to retrieve all the data (select *), the table scan is best with some sort for "union all" and "distinct". Thus, it always chooses a best plan based on cost, what it has from query tree and the statistics. This can happen many cases, the optimizer will skip the indexes.
create index ix_temp81_54_80 on temp81 ([54-80])
create index ix_temp62_54_80 on temp62 ([54-80])
create index ix_54_80_table_Component on [54-80_table] (Component)
create index ix_54_80_table_BOM_STATUS on [54-80_table] (BOM_STATUS)
6. Try using some hint like, MAXDOP, Index hint etc. I am not saying the parallel plan plan is bad, but there are cases that serial plan works best. And we have seen that, the query is waiting for CXPACKET.
Forcing the Index to use. Still, there are some lookups we can create some covered index, but here the case is different 20+ columns with nvarchar(510).
See the query run time is 16:11 minutes.
See the MAXDOP run time is 20:24 minutes.
7. Filter the data by some condition, generally by date column.
It does not have date column or any other column to limit the data return.
8. Check anything can be changed in the query like, select required column, remove some sort operation and add some filer option.
Removed the distinct - Parallel query run time is 13:14 and by using (MAXDOP 1) - 10:00 minutes.
Removed select * - select only a required columns. The run time is better 02:02 minutes.
9. For complex query, take out it as a batch and run it individually. Like, run the two queries separately, run with "union all" and run the full query with "distinct" and see the difference.
Query tuning steps with the execution time for better visibility. It can be reduced even lower than 2 minutes.
|Steps Performed
|Execution Time in Minutes
|Query execution time
|Update Stats and Heap Rebuild
|Force MAXDOP option
|Force Index option
|Without Distinct keyword
|With Minimal column
If the tables temp62 & temp81 has the clustered index, then that is totally different. I am sure that it will run quickly. See my post: http://www.sqlserverblogforum.com/2016/03/how-important-is-clustered-index-for-a-table/.
As a rule of thumb, every table should have a clustered index and yes, it will speed up all operations are on the table. If you know the table is going to be growing bigger and it does not have a candidate for clustered index, I suggest to create a dumpy identity column with a clustered index. The important factor is how effectively we choose the column for the clustered index. Generally a Surrogate key – Ex: IDENTITY
I do not think that, the user is going to read "6562117" records. And it returns 50 columns as an output. This is what we always say that , do not run some dump code in the production. If you have no condition to limit, at least get some top 1000 records. Think about the query runs 45 minutes and per day it is called 10 times.
If we analysis all in query and database level. Make a benchmark of server resources (CPU, RAM) usage and storage disk and we can check with the infra team to analysis from their side. But, in the real world, that is not the case most of the time. If you really have a good team and they are ready to add resources and make some changes in storage layers, then you can test that. Since, it is very easy to change the storage layers like moving a VMDK partitions from one VMFS/LUN to another, putting into advanced array with SSDs etc. There is nothing can see from end user point of view. Yes, I have a good team and had tested that.
Again, we need to investigate all the points of view and test everything and make a benchmark of it. The database engine is smart and it will pick and work effectively, if we have good schema and query design.
I cannot add all the images, since, already it is a long post. I hope the tuning steps will help. And there are many great links, I have added to the post. Happy learning!
Whoisactive capturing a SQL server queries Performance Tuning
Whoisactive stored procedure is a powerful script to capture the SQL server queries with tons of information. It's written by Adam Machanic. It makes DBAs job easier.
It's a great script with lots of parameter and I am going to show, which are all more important.
Run the stored procedure without any parameter parameters
You can run the procedure without any parameter. It's a default mode.
Exec [sp_WhoIsActive]
Lightweight parameters
@get_plans = 1 – It will show the execution plans of the running query.
@get_task_info = 2 – It will show the wait type of the query.
Ex: Parallel CXPACKET waits. With the additional info like, 3 times waited for CXPACKET number os milliseconds: (Nx: MINms/AVGms/MAXms)[wait_type]
@get_locks = 1 – It will show an XML column output locks each query, useful for blocking situation.
Other useful parameters – With little overhead
Sometimes, i use these parameters, when I want to do further more analysis.
@delta_interval = 5 – It will capture the delta interval time period of the usage, metrics for more accurate data, not the cumulative one. It will take 5 seconds to return the results.
@get_additional_info = 1 – It will show the default output plus several more than can be dynamically enabled and disabled options.
@get_avg_time = 1 – It will show the query average run time, which will help to find the query runs in each time differently.
@get_outer_command = 1 – It will show the outer batch query/SP, which will help to get the complete query.
Check this for more parameters:
How effectively use this stored procedure
By default, this stored procedure will show the results in the SSMS. It is useful in the run time check.
In general, the performance reports need to be captured all the time or we do not know, when the issue is occurring.
As every DBAs do, create a table and insert the results in the table. SQL agent job is best for capturing the data in the interval and schedule this SP job every 15 minutes. Sometimes with more parameters which take more time for this SP, can be changed depends on the execution time of the procedure.
Following is the table and stored procedure script.
Updated: I have added this after a reply from Fei Yuan.
How to create a table for the parameters you pass.
You can get the table code from the "@script_table" parameter and I un-commented the print statement. So it will automatically create the table from Exec, with the name you provided in the SET @script_table = REPLACE(@script_table, '<table_name>', 'dba_data.dbo.Whoisactive_lightweight').
It is a very, very long script and please download from SQLblog:
Updated one with bug fixed - Released on 18-Oct-2016 -->
Download the original Whoisactive procedure:
1. First download the stored procedure and run in your DBA database. Since, if you collecting more data, it will occupy more disk table space. Get the parameter you needed and add into the following code block and it will return the table schema creation script based on the parameter that you pass.
2. Create the Table:
Pass the parameter that you need with the DB name, table name, it will execute the create table "Whoisactive_lightweight".
DECLARE @script_table VARCHAR(MAX)
EXEC sp_WhoIsActive
@get_plans = 1,@get_task_info = 2,@get_locks = 1,
@format_output = 0,
@return_schema = 1,
@schema = @script_table OUTPUT
SET @script_table = REPLACE(@script_table, '<table_name>', 'dba_data.dbo.Whoisactive_lightweight')
-- PRINT (@script_table)
3. Execute the stored procedure to insert data into the table.
It will automatically insert the results from the stored procedure to the given table.
EXEC sp_WhoIsActive
@get_plans = 1,@get_task_info = 2,@get_locks = 1,
@format_output = 0,
@destination_table = 'dba_data.dbo.Whoisactive_lightweight'
select * from 'dba_data.dbo.Whoisactive_lightweight
You can also run in the SSMS without inserting into a table, by adding multiple parameters.
EXEC sp_WhoIsActive @get_plans = 1,@get_task_info = 2,@get_locks = 1,@delta_interval = 5,@get_additional_info = 1,@get_avg_time = 1, @get_outer_command = 1,@format_output = 0
The important column that we mostly look:
Runing_time ([dd hh:mm:ss.mss]),wait_info,sql_text,tasks,
A sample select statement: You can select the table and filter conditions based on, the results. I captured one of my production system and there are many quires running more than one hour. Those are all tuned and rewritten 🙂
select start_time ST,collection_time as CT,* from master..tbl_whoisactive
where login_name not in ('NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM','DBA','sqlserver.service')
--where blocking_session_id <>0
order by Runing_time desc
Once again, Thanks to Adam Machanic. Your script helped me all the time. Managing 100+ DB servers which has more performance issue all the week, are tough job and you script gather all the data every 15 minutes and easy for me to review later and give recommendations and fine tuning.
How important is clustered index for a table
I am not sure, how to name this topic. May be, start by following questions.
How important and effective is clustered index for a table?
How to solve the heap fragmentation?
Why my query is running slow most of the time for this particular table?
Are the primary key and clustered index are same?
There are developers still they understand that, we must need a primary key to create a clustered index. No, that's not. Both are different used for different purpose.
The primary key is to enforce the business logic. I.e. enforce the uniqueness. By default it will create a clustered index, if we are not changing manually to non-clustered.
You can create a clustered index without a primary key. In two ways, create [unique] clustered index. The unique is an optional keyword.
A heap table is "without a clustered index is called heap"
Coming into the picture.
Recently a developer came to me for an application slowness. The query is in more environment (QA, DEV & Prod) each run differently. DBAs know where to start analysis the query.
I cannot show all the codes. But it's a simple search character code like '' with more conditions.
The table has massive fragmentation. Since, it's a heap, but small. A 50K data table, with a simple query runs more than 5 minutes to return the data.
1. After a de-fragmentation only of all non-clustered indexes, it still runs 1 minute to return the data.
2. After a clustered index creation, it runs boom, less than a second. This is a best practice and the table has clustered index will be good and it enforce the logical ordering and every record in a non-clustered index has to link to the clustering index key.
Think about the heap it an unordered data, so it needs travel all the pages to get data. Probably, a full scan. But clustered index will be ordered logically with matching of index columns and it's easy to get the data by clustering key.
From 2008 onwards, the same result we can get by rebuilding the table ALTER TABLE REBUILD. But internally it changes the heap records and ask all non-clustered indexes to rebuild it to match with rebuilt heap, for a big table it is worse.
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(F.OBJECT_ID) obj,i.name ind,
avg_page_space_used_in_percent, forwarded_record_count
FROM SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_PHYSICAL_STATS (DB_ID('Regression'),NULL,NULL,NULL,null) F
ON(F.OBJECT_ID=I.OBJECT_ID)AND i.index_id=f.index_id
ON (s.table_name=OBJECT_NAME(F.OBJECT_ID))
WHERE f.avg_fragmentation_in_percent>15 and f.page_count>=1000
AND f.database_id=DB_ID('Regression')
order by f.avg_fragmentation_in_percent desc
Before clustered index creation: IX_mtProduct_ProductID & heap has 2372493 pages
|Page count
After clustered index creation: CX_mtProduct_ProductID Clustered index has 1954 pages
|Page count
Now, see the number pages for heap- 2372493 and clustered index - 1954 and it can change over a time, when there is a modification but, not like a heap.
It's always good to have a clustered index to search the record effectively.
Hope now you have understood the effectiveness of the clustered index and we should create a clustered index, when there is a candidate column available or sometimes create a dumpy column for the very big table. Generally a Surrogate key – Ex: IDENTITY.
There are already many posts available to choose the cluster index.
Lost Administrator SA password SQL server 2012
There are many blog posts talking about, how to recover "SysAdmin" password in case if it's lost OR the server is new to you and no idea that has own and access to it. In my case the second option J
In my opinion, it's very easy to work on GUI instead of command line CMD 🙂 I used a SSMS.
1. Stop the SQL server agent
2. Take the SQL server in single user mode, earlier version, it's a bit hard
All programs –> SQL server 2012 –> Configuration Tools –> SQL server configuration manager
Stop the agent and take the SQL server into single user mode.
3. Reboot the SQL service
4. Launch the SSMS and don't click the connect button, you need to cancel it and then click the "New query" window on top of the SSMS and then connect.
If you click the connect button the object explorer will take one connection, Single user mode will allow only one connection. Because of that we need to cancel and click the new query window.
Note: You need to be an OS administrator.
5. Create a new login and add as an admin
Hope this would help someone.

Since ancient times, both devotion and being filial are difficult. Loyalty and family are also the same; for his loyalty towards His Majesty, he let go of his only 4-year-old granddaughter and went to the border. Once gone, he was gone for ten years. She who couldn't cultivate, what kind of life did she live for the last ten years?
But, once he returned he indiscriminately accused her because of the rumors and blamed her.
"Feng'er……." Yun Luo lifted his hands which were full of calluses and shakily stretched them toward Yun Luo Feng, in the end, he weakly put them down. "Grandfather wronged you and also wronged the whole Yun Family. Your parents sacrificed themselves for the country; Grandfather didn't care for you."
At that moment, the originally high-spirited General Yun Luo seemed to have aged a few years.
Before, he was really angry, and hated that iron couldn't become steel! But he seems to have forgotten that she was parent-less at 3 and he himself left home when she was 4. From young, nobody had disciplined her; could she even possibly meet his big expectations?
He vaguely remembers that year when he was leaving. The four-year-old little Luo Feng pulling his clothes crying for him to not leave.
In the end, for the safety of the people of Long Yuan country, he heartlessly left her.TL-YUP, HEARTLESS MR
"If there's nothing else, then I'm going back to rest."
Yun Luo Feng sleepily blinked her eyes and lazily spoke.
Seeing the indifference on the young girl's face, deep in Yun Luo's eyes there was a touch of guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but all the words felt blocked in his mouth and couldn't voice out a single sound.
"Go then."
Finally, he lightly sighed and weakly dismissed her with his hand. These two words seemed to exhaust all his strength; as he collapsed with his eyes closed.
At this time, General Yun Luo no longer seemed to be high-spirited like he was on the battlefield. More like, just like the wind blowing out a candle, the old man seemed so frail. Making Yun Luo Feng feel like she couldn't bear it in her heart. In the end, she said nothing. She turned around and left the study room.
Once the white silhouette disappeared, Yun Luo opened his eyes, with a bitter look on his face; he stared at the empty space in the study room and said: "Qing Ya, was I really wrong?"

Hello friends.
Nice to meet you here sir East stuffy scrabble.
always behold the 3rd floor Today only grade 3 students only, right? Students grade 2 and grade 3 students, right? Nice to see you, music lovers and loving God 3-storey stands here look like the concert anyway Anyway, I hope that all of us here can for God and people see all our hearts First of all I have to sing a song to make right There is a song that I am a singer in I had to think about and study a lot The first song, I was singing 'In the flower garden' Thank you First of all, there is one thing that I want to tell you This is not a song that I'm singing my Lord in So I want to say that today is a very funny but when you give yourself applause, cheering for me but instead, hope you think about the Lord has brought us here together Because I was also still think about God So I think today I come here certainly is not because I but because of you, so that you see the heart of God My nickname is alien Because when I was like what is almost as crazy I'll do it always I love God, I love watching movies, I like singing.
And while I like it, I will do to the same.
Perhaps because of this, I have that nickname The reason is because I like his dreams There are dreams, dreams that frantically, looking forward to that dream, strive towards that dream I enjoyed such things My dream is that until the day I die, I will dream and will try our best to achieve what we always wanted God told me that I let the dream and the dream God has for me.
I'm also trying to make his dream I think because I have a dream today so I can stand here And I hope that all of you here will do my best to achieve my dream.
become the skillful than me, become really great.
so that later you can tell me and others see the true picture of your great OK? You do not you? You will become better than me, are not you? You should definitely do so offline To add more power to you, here I would be singing You Raise Me Up Open from the beginning to go, please.
Do not fading early, just open it up to normal as I can do that These prepare you for how long this wrong? Huh? 1 month? How long does it? These prepare you for how long? (New Hey A) Just now, huh.
sure death always too You have this very carefully prepared, right? Practiced a lot more, right? That is also part of the dream that sir In the past I had once sung in the choir group like this At that time a lot of thought to see what I have to sing, how to practice.
Anyway, to go to get to your dream, you need to have a process The process including despair, including those failures, including those times we stumble, including the wait Dream inherently require such things So I want to tell you is, the dream has its whole process should never be discouraged Although there will be difficult to make hard, with both the pain but you try to pass it Overcome it, then one day you will achieve your dreams Certainly so The next song is one of my post, this post I used to sing a lot Once while praying.
You know POS is not it? Name My family band Sister playing keyboards in a time of prayer in the morning was reminiscent of a butterfly image and composed this song Very magic is my prayer also see that image and we have made this song Next I would like to sing the Butterfly This post will be the last post sir You remain calm, I was singing that Every time I sing this song I thought, really until the day I die, I want to live like this song so I guess you know all this.
I would like to sing Until the Lord returns Actually, I have not done what is 1% where I dreamed of you Not where sir.
Things I'm dreaming so much more than it is now I have written a novel that sir, and it will be released in January next August 7th It's a fantasy adventure novel My dream is that the latter can make a Hollywood film based caliber novel I hope you also try to come together to reach his dream, to dream that God has bestowed Also, those who stood on the stage as I can look great, but I'm completely not so I just hope this time intervals we can commemorate the grace of God We will sing to the Sky Running offline You know this, right?
