DB Engine :: Run Rebuild Index Task Daily On Database
Apr 28, 2015
On our particular database server, we run the Rebuild Index Task (Using classic Maintenance Plan Designer) every night. Running the script below, I saw that about 77 tables had an avg_fragmentation_in_percentage between 80% and 99% !!
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) AS TableName,
ind.name AS IndexName, indexstats.index_type_desc AS IndexType,
indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) indexstats
INNER JOIN sys.indexes ind
ON ind.object_id = indexstats.object_id
AND ind.index_id = indexstats.index_id
WHERE indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 30--You can specify the percent as you want
ORDER BY indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent DESC
I dont understand why these tables are highly fragmented after a daily index rebuild! Unless the users are doing heavy inserts/updates/deletes during the day.

We have 3 maintenance jobs configured in this particular DB instance:
Daily backup of system database - SubPlan1 (Check Database Integrity Task --> Rebuild Index Task-->Backup Database Task)Daily backup of user databases - Five subplans for each task : (Check DB integrity --> Rebuild Index -->Backup User Database, Backup Log -->Cleanup History)Weekly maintenance - SubPlan1 (Check Database integrity job (system+user DB) + rebuild index job (system+user DB) )
PROBLEM: I just noticed that the User DB Rebuild Index task has been running since the 03/04 and the Weekly maintenance plan - subplan1 since the 12/04.
Which job is "safe" to stop without impacting the database?

Hi all,
In SQL Server 2005 EE I created a maintenance plan to rebuild indexes for a few large tables. I have selected five specific tables, and I'm using both "sort results in tempdb" as well as "keep index online while reindexing".
If I execute this plan for all these tables, are the indexes guaranteed to remain online? There are all different types of indexes on these tables. For example, the table "Contacts" has 8 indexes: 1 Clustered, 1 PK Unique Non-Clustered, 2 Unique Non-Clustered, and 4 Non-Unique Non-Clustered. I've heard that only certain types of indexes can remain online during a reindex (Clustered and Non-Unique Non-Clustered??).
Will SQL Server rebuild an index that isn't compatible with the online reindex mode, or will it choose to ignore it?
Thanks,
- Matt

The rebuild index task in a maintenance plan allows you to choose
system databases. I noticed that some of the system database tables
do have indexes. Should you run this task on system databases
within the maintenance plan. Is it necessary and will it do anything.
Also will it cause any issue with these databases. What about reorganize
index task or update statistics will this cause any issues and should it be run.
Lastly can you shrink a system database. For instance should you run the
shrink database task. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I would like to use SQL Server's built in database snapshot feature. We have a database (e.g., ThatDatabase), and I would like to capture a snapshot of it at exactly midnight each morning. I would need the snapshot to have the same name each day (e.g., ThatDatabase12AM). My non-technical end users (statisticians with SAS) are going to use the snapshot a lot, but are not going to be able to handle it it having a different name every day.
Obviously, I could set up a job with a start time of 23:59:50 that drops the existing snapshot and then creates a new snapshot. This would have the problem that the snapshot name disappears for a few seconds every day. That would either a) kill user sessions, or b) block the snapshot drop and delay the new snapshot until after exactly 12:00 AM.

My goal is to recreate a table daily so that the data is updated. This could be a bad decision performance-wise, but I felt this was simpler than running a daily update statement. I created a stored procedure:SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_CreatetblImprintPhrase
AS
DROP TABLE tblImprintPhrase
GO
CREATE TABLE tblImprintPhrase
(
CustID char(12),
CustName varchar(40),
TranNoRel char(15)
)
GO However, I was looking to edit the stored procedure, changing CREATE to ALTER, but when I do so, I am prompted with: Error 170: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near "(". If I change back to CREATE, the error goes away, but the sproc cannot be run because it already exists. Any thoughts?

I'm upgrading to SQL 2012 from 2008R2, while doing so i will be rebuilding all the indexes on all the database. In my previous environment while doing so, i got space related error in primary filegroup for insufficient space in the primary filegroup. Is there any rule of thumb about how much space is required by index rebuild command for each database, or is there a safe threshold for free space in the database?

Running SQL 7.0 SP3 on P3 dual 800.
I rebuild indexes every night as part of the maintenance plan. Usually it takes about 1 hr 10 minutes on a 15 G db, last night it took 9 hrs.
I have no idea why it would take so long. Nothing changed, there were no new indexes created and none deleted.
Any ideas? I have to find out why. My boss wants an answer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all...
I have a table with over 60 million rows (approx 20GB) which has an indexed column. I have tried using DBC DBReindex to rebuild the index, but after kicking it off on a friday, it is still running the following wednesday. Since managers and other finicky types access this database, that's not acceptable (it slows down their reporting).
Is there a way to speed up the reindexing process? Perhaps by adding space to the tempdb (it's 500MB) or putting it in RAM temporarily? I haven't seen any articles that specifically state that TEMPDB is used during an index rebuild, but it seems logical that it would be.
Any suggestions to speed up the process would be most appreciated!

If the index to be rebuilt is a clustered index, will all non-clustered indexes be rebuilt also by rebuilding only the clustered index.

Hi,
After issuing an index rebuild on a primary key index (and updating statistics), the index still shows a scan density of 12.5%!
Any ideas on why the rebuild doesn't seem to do anything on the fragmentation levels?
I'm using sql 2005
Thanx

Does "Alter Index All Rebuild" rebuild just the tree level of the index? Or does it also rebuild the leaf level like reorganize?

I would like to completely understand the difference between index rebuild Maintenace plan and the customized script.Maintenance Plan rebuilds every single index.It will take the long time as it checks every index.If we use a custom script as a job, it will rebuild the index which has fragmentation >30%.So that, the job will not take much time.

I need to establish the storage requirements for a clustered index rebuild with SQL 05. The table is made up of the following columns
[ProductID] [int] NOT NULL,
[RegionID] [int] NOT NULL,

[Value] [decimal](14, 4) NOT NULL
This is the clustered index :-
[RegionId] ASC,

[TimeId] ASC,
[ProductId] ASC

Fellow MSSQL DBA's, I am stuck. I am getting a Msg 2511 on a production database. The message reads - Table Corrupt: Keys in leaf page should be in ascending order. I have dropped the offending index and rebuilt both through the application and through ISQL. Neither method fixed the problem. DBCC CHECKDB shows no errors as long as the index does not exist. I have checked out the data and see no problems. Any ideas?
Thanks very much.

After rebuilding an index, it still shows as the same amount offragmentation. ANy ideas what's wrong?I'm determining which indexes to rebuild using the following query:SELECTOBJECT_NAME(i.object_id) AS TableName,i.name AS IndexName,ips.avg_fragmentation_in_percentFROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL,'DETAILED') ipsJOIN sys.indexes i ONi.object_id = ips.object_idAND i.index_id = ips.index_idWHERE ips.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 10(I know 10% is not enough where a full rebuild is called for, justwanted to see my fragmentation)Then I rebuild w/:ALTER INDEX IX_CustomerName ON Customers REBUILDWhen I rerun the 1st query the same amount of fragmentation is shownas before the rebuild. I'd appreciate any help.

Rebuild index maintenance plan is failed, since we don't have space in the C:Drive we have left the option as it is to sort the results in user databases respectively. These user databases are in E: with sufficient space to rebuild index.
Check the below details.

Online reindexing supports in SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition? Job is failing because these options (sort results in tempdb & keep index online while reindexing) is not checked (enabled)?

I have read through BOL but am still confused by the above sql. I think it rebuilds all indexes on a table. Am I correct? (If so, if would seem to be a good thing to run it nightly on all tables in all databases. Or maybe that is too extreme)

I have been testing methods to maintain indexes in a SQL Server 2005 database which has been migrated from SQL Server 2000. The compatibility level is still set to 80. I used the query below to inspect the degree of fragmentation amongst other things.
SELECT a.index_id
, name
, database_id
, avg_fragmentation_in_percent
,index_type_desc
,fragment_count
,page_count
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 'DETAILED') AS a
JOIN sys.indexes AS b ON a.object_id = b.object_id AND a.index_id = b.index_id
Some of the indexes in the database had a high degree of fragmentation based on the avg_fragmentation_in_percent value. I tried drop+create, rebuild and reorganise commands on those indexes. Predictably, drop + create was the most effective, but even that did not always reduce fragmentation much. Sometimes the fragmentation was the same no matter what method I used. Other times drop+create helped, rebuild made it worse.
What is going on?

I'm running SQL Server 2008 R2 with latest patch. I'm performing all index maintenance online. How long the final phase of the index operation takes? Does the size of the index matter and if any blocking occurs, does the duration increase because the size of indexes is larger? I've been told by management, we can not have any downtime, its my understanding even with online index there's a chance blocking can occur in the final phase of the index operation. My database and index size is over 1.5 tb and the number of transaction per second are in the 100's.
