Useful script to rebuild table indexes and update stats


You can update the queries based on your requirement.

To update the table stats

--Query to update the table stats

SELECT N'UPDATE STATISTICS ' + t.TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + t.TABLE_NAME + ' ;'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables AS t
WHERE t.TABLE_TYPE = N'BASE table';
GO


To re-build table indexes:

--To rebuild table index

DECLARE @myDatabaseName NVARCHAR(255) = N'your-database-name';
DECLARE @runningTableName NVARCHAR(255);
DECLARE @cmd NVARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(100)= 'your-database-name';

-- Populate the database cursor. 
DECLARE myDatabaseLevelCursor CURSOR READ_ONLY
FOR SELECT @name;


OPEN myDatabaseLevelCursor;
FETCH NEXT FROM myDatabaseLevelCursor INTO @myDatabaseName;  
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN
	-- In this command we're declaring table level cursor 
        SET @cmd = 'DECLARE myTableCursor CURSOR READ_ONLY FOR SELECT 
	               ''['' + table_catalog + ''].['' + table_schema + ''].['' + table_name + '']'' as tableName
				    FROM [' + @myDatabaseName + '].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE 
				    table_type = ''BASE TABLE'' and table_schema  not in (''sys'')';

        --create table cursor  
        EXEC (@cmd);
        
		OPEN myTableCursor;
        FETCH NEXT FROM myTableCursor INTO @runningTableName;
        WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
            BEGIN
                BEGIN TRY
                    SET @cmd = 'ALTER INDEX ALL ON ' + @runningTableName + ' REBUILD';
                    PRINT @cmd; -- uncomment if you want to see commands
					--TODO: Once you verified the command (printe-one) then execute it.
                   -- EXEC (@cmd);
                END TRY
                BEGIN CATCH

                    PRINT ERROR_MESSAGE();
                    PRINT '---';
                END CATCH;
                FETCH NEXT FROM myTableCursor INTO @runningTableName;
            END;
        CLOSE myTableCursor;
        DEALLOCATE myTableCursor;
        FETCH NEXT FROM myDatabaseLevelCursor INTO @myDatabaseName;
    END;  
CLOSE myDatabaseLevelCursor;   
DEALLOCATE myDatabaseLevelCursor;

EFCore - Collate function

Search in SQL server query is generally case insensitive (by default or based on database level collation). Suppose we have an employees table with a row having first-name column value as "My-First-Name", so if we want to do the case-sensitive search we have to explicitly use the related collate: In EF 5 (currently in Release Candidate version [RC.2.20475.6]) Collate function got introduced which helps us to use our specific collation based search.  C# with EF5 code sample: var employeeCaseSensitiveSearch = _dbContext.Employees .Where(x => EF.Functions.Collate(x.FirstName, "Latin1_General_CS_AS") == "my-first-name") .FirstOrDefault(); A related database query will be something like this: T-SQL: Case sensitive search (use specific collation e.g.: Latin1_General_CS_AS) SELECT * FROM dbo.Employees AS e WHERE e.FirstName Collate Latin1_General_CS_AS = 'my-first-name' Some of the useful CSharp function which g...

EFCore - Parallel db call on same dbContext

Practically there are multiple instances when we want to do parallel DB call which will save us some time. Like if we want to get a few employees details as well as users detail and if both entities are independent of each other better to go with a parallel call to fetch the details.  With the growing ORM usage and enhanced & optimized framework of like EFCore, in most of the application (related to C# development), we generally prefer to use EFCore. With EFCore if we try to use the same DB context to do parallel db call we are getting an error (... different thread using the same DbContext....). Because dbContext call is not thread-safe Parallel DB call on the same dbContext:  Code snipped: which will throw an error private void DbCallWithParallelCallOnSameDbContext() { try { var employeesTask = _dbContext.Employees.ToListAsync(); var usersTask = _dbContext.Users.ToListAsync(); ...
