sql server - Dropping an unindexed table with over 1.7 Billion rows on live database (SQL Admin Nightmare) -

-

a recent employee of our company had stored procedure has gone haywire, , caused mass inserts debug table of his. table unindexed, @ close 1.7 billion rows, , taking space backup no longer fits on backup drive (backups reach close 250gb).

i haven't seen this, i'm seeking advice mssql gurus out here.

i know nibble away @ table, being unindexed, delete [table] id in (select top 10000 [id] [table]) locks server searching them.

i don't want log file massive, it's sitting @ 480gb on 1tb drive. if delete table, able shrink down? (my recovery mode simple)

we index id field on table, though have around 9 hours downtime day, , during business hours can't locking database.

just looking advice here, , point in right direction.

thanks.

you may want consider truncate

msdn reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa260621(v=sql.80).aspx

removes rows table without logging individual row deletes.

syntax:

truncate table [your_table]

as @rahul suggests in comments, use drop table [your_table] if no longer plan use table in question. truncate option empty table leave in place if wanted continue use it.

with regards space issue, both of these operations comparatively quick , space reclaimed, won't happen instantly. when using truncate, data still has deleted, sql server deallocate data pages used table , use background process perform clean afterwards.

this post should provide useful information.

i have following code, , need random item contains string "region_1" dictionary. public static dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>> itemarray = new dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>>() { { 0xb3e, new tuple<string, int, currencytype>("region_1", 1500, currencytype.fame) } }; public static int generateitemid(string shopid) { var generateditem = itemarray.elementat(new random().next(0, itemarray.count)).key; } how select this? it's not possible efficiently... first create static random @ class level... prevent non-random behaviour if run query on short period of time... (it's seeded discrete clock) static random rnd = new random(); then: var item = itemarray.values .where(t => t.item1 == shopid) .orderby(_ => rnd.next()) .firstordefault()
