• i have learned quite a bit since that post...it was 2 months ago...:):)

    the most important thing that i leared was that you almost canot defrag a 2000 database on a 2000 SQL server, interestingly when we moved the database, the fragmentation was very high..i db reindexed it on 2005 with alter table and then did the magic bit...sp_updatestatistics...now i just manualy(via a shedule job) run sp_updatestatistics once a day...overkill but still...weird wonderfull world of windows...
