This you have posted in the 2005 forums as well http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic451520-357-1.aspx.

Is this a 2000 or 2005 server? (the syntax for reindexing and defragmenting is different).

Regards,

Dear Friend,

Please checkout the scripts given in this site. It will help you. One of my query was working fine for the past two years and suddenly it was running for even two to three hours without output. I had taken the script from this site. And within 7 mins I got the data required.

By mistake,

I place this message in SQL 2005 forum.

Actually my server is SQL server 2000 Enteprise edition.

So my query is about to SQL server 2000 databases..

Don't shrink your databases. It causes index fragmentation. See my blog post on this[/url]

To rebuild your indexes on SQL 2000, look up DBCC DBReindex in Books Online.
