    MS SQL 2000 Backup.

    Hi All,

    Is there a way to back only specific tables from a database? I need to filter a few tables as they are not needed for backup.

    Is there any way to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    There are no backup table commands but you can implement it by putting all the tables you want to backup in a separate filegroup from other tables, then backup the filegroup.

    you could also populate those tables into a new database, take backup directly on the new database.

    Or You can make use of DTS package which could carry information from SQL Server to either MS Access, Excel or Text file. You could stored this files as a backup.

    Other than writing script and populate tables. DTS to export tables into new database can be a slick way.

    It depends on the type of query you will be running against the table. Can't tell from the table structure alone.

    Mostly people define index blindly in foreign key column due to the referencial integrity. But you actually need to do research on the where clause on your update, select and delete statement.

    Also join columns b/t tables to tables.

    If your auto create statistics is turned on, you could also look into the statistics SQL Server created for you. It's also a way to identify the possible missed index.

    Or run index tuning wizard against the table, let system make some recommendation for you.

    Thanks all to get back to me. I have created index as follows. I can't enter new row for same Mkt & Aff for diff dates (fr_date, to_date). I get error for duplicate key.

    CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED
    INDEX [mktaff_ind] ON [dbo].[cost_per_spot] ([Mkt], [Aff],[fr_date],[to_date])
    WITH
    IGNORE_DUP_KEY
    ,DROP_EXISTING
    ON [PRIMARY]

    any idea? Thanks once again.

    Ensure you don't have dup combination of [Mkt], [Aff],[fr_date],[to_date] in the table.

    Your original query can't run, because you don't have spots1 column in group by.

    select DMA,sum(spots1),sum(spots2),c.c_spots1,c.c_spots2
    from log l ,cost c
    where c.dma = l.dma
    fr_date between '2-23-04' and '2-27-04'
    group by dma, c.c_spots1, c.c_spots2
