    Help!

    I created a nonclustered columnstore index on a table with 240mil rows. Then, I performed many updates to the table. Subsequently, the weekly index maintenance process (Ola Hallengren) ran. Now there is a background process running (“Create Index”) that prevents me from dropping the index, dropping the table, etc. It’s also taking many locks.

    I just want the columnstore index to be removed, but the background process prevents any other DDL.

    Internet searches are not giving me any clues here.

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance,
    Glen Schwickerath

    Loved your SQL PASS sessions.

      Hi Glen,

      it is not easy from the distance to determine what is the exact cause of that background process – I would make sure that the job has ended, that Tuple Mover is not running, etc …
      There is a trace flag 643 that disables the tuple mover …
      There has been reported SOME problems with the TM on SQL 2019 …

      Best regards,
      Niko
