ITW says workload does not contain events or queries to use

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the Index Tuning Wizard to analyze my workload.
I'm using SQL Server 2000. I've run the ITW against several different trace
files, and keep getting an error that says, "The workload does not contain
any events or queries that can be tuned against current database. Check to
see that the trace contains valid events or that the SQL script contains
valid queries and you are tuning against the right database."
In one case, as a test I ran the ITW against a trace file that I had run it
on about a month ago and gotten results from. Even with that file I still go
t
this error. In other cases when I try to run ITW on an older trace file, it
crashes. I've tried running ITW from another user's computer, with the same
result, so it doesn't seem to be my computer that's at fault.
I'm using the SqlProfilerTuning trace template. I've checked my trace
template against the same template on another computer to see if I had
changed something and broken it, but the only difference was that mine was
recording one additional data column, ApplicationName.
The events I'm recording are RPC:Completed and SQL:BatchCompleted.
There have definitely been data updates to at least some of the tables I'm
asking it to analyze. In some cases there have not been many updates (a doze
n
to a few dozen)--ITW documentation indicates that the ITW may fail if there
have not been enough changes to analyze, but it doesn't give any indication
as to what is enough.
Any suggestions what might be the problem, or how I could find out what the
problem is?

> Eachus|||Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have read that page. It doesn't address
either of the messages that I'm receiving.
The messages I receive most often is:
"The workload does not contain any events or queries that can be tuned
against current database. Check to see that the trace contains valid events
or that the SQL script contains valid queries and you are tuning against the
right database."
Sometimes I get this message:
"There are no events in the workload. Either the trace file contained no SQL
batch or RPC events or the SQL script contained no SQL queries."
According to all the documentation I can find, the RPC:Completed and
SQL:BatchCompleted events that the trace is capturing are what ITW needs, so
that message doesn't make any sense.

Italian word braker

Hello,
is there the chance to personalize the word braker rules for italian
language on SQL 2005?
We need to index a lot of "ancient textual corpora" and modern rules do
not works fine. thanks
No, you would have to create your own word breaker. Consult msdn for
articles on how to do this.

Issue with Index Tuning Wizard.

SQL2K SP4
Howdy all. When trying to use ITW, I get a message saying
"The workload does not contain any any events or queries that can be tuned
against the current database. Check to see the scripty contains valid events
or that the SQL script contains valid queries and that you are tuning
against the right database".
I have verified everything, I am doing it right. I googled this topic, and
see others have posted the same issue, but have found no clear resolution.
Any ideas?
TIA, ChrisRChrisR
If I understood you have ran SQL Server Profiler to collect the events
(queries/stored procuders) and later on you would like to load the file into
ITW?
Can you provide a list of events you have collect to ?

Issue with Index for Temp Table

Hi,
I have created a SP which uses # temp table.
i created Index for this temp table. The issue is first time when i run the sp it is slow and if i run seccond time the same sp with the same range as previous one the speed increases drastically.
has anybody encountered same problem.
can u pls help

TIAThe most likely answer is that on the first call the server has to load all of the requested data from the hard drives. on the 2nd call the data is most likely in the data cache for SQL server, in the drive array controller cache or some combination of both.

There is all so a procedure cach. If the proc hasn't been run recently SQL Server might have to load the code from the hard drives, on the 2nd call the proc is probably still in the procedure cache.

Issue with full-text query (containstable)..

I've got a full-text index on a table 'items' with an image field
'item' into which I've imported word and pdf documents. I've only got
~10 docs imported currently, for testing. I know that each of these
documents, except for one, includes the term 'ontology' or
'ontologies'.
I've got the following query, which gives back only two of these
documents (1 word, 1 pdf):
select i.*, ct.rank as incl_ctr
from items i inner join
containstable(items, item,
' ("class*" and "info*") or "ontology" '
) ct on i.id = ct.[key]
where (ct.rank > 1) and i.incl_ext in ('.doc','.pdf')
order by ct.rank desc;
I know this is incomplete, based on the content of each document, which
is an issue I'd like to work out; but prior to that, if I write the
query with "onto*" as a prefix term instead of "ontology", it only
gives back one of the two docs (the pdf):
select i.*, ct.rank as incl_ctr
from items i inner join
containstable(items, item,
' ("class*" and "info*") or "onto*" '
) ct on i.id = ct.[key]
where (ct.rank > 1) and i.incl_ext in ('.doc','.pdf')
order by ct.rank desc;
I can't identify why this is. I'd be very interested in whatever input
I could get on this..
Installed evaluation version: 2000 - 8.00.194 on Windows XP.
Installing the pdf ifilter improves the circumstance described in the
initial post; yet I think it's odd that onto* yields fewer docs in that
query than ontology, which continues to be the case..

Issue about full-text index

Hi: all,

I have created a full text index on a column(column1) in a table(table1).

There is one record in the table1. And for example, the column1 stores "Documents".

Table1.Column1:"Documents"

When I run the query:

select * from Table1 where contains(Column1,'Documents')

There is 1 one row be selected.

But when I run the query:

select * from Table1 where contains(Column1,'cum')

There is no row be selected.

So the contains can only search the whole word,right?

Can I search a part of the whole word?

Just like the result of : select * from Table1 where Column1 like '%cum%'?

Thanks,

Tracy

You can search the part of the word but only with Prefixed wild card...

select * from Table1 where contains(Column1,'"Doc*"')|||

So sql server full-text index doesn't support to search any part of a word, right?
