Thank you for the reply i appreciate it i would like to know what does the online option on/off do, and what are the possible reasons for taking a database offline and when would i need to do that thanks
Here is something that may help to explain it:

Online and offline index rebuilds are not related to the database being offline. Rebuilding online allows for less intrusive behavior by the rebuild process so that users may continue to use the database. Rebuilding the index otherwise can cause heavy blocking on the tables while the indexes are rebuilt.
