Chris does a follow up to his very popular article on clustered indexes. They seem simple, but in practice they are fairly complicated. Having a solid understanding of clustered indexes will definitely help you get the results you need.

The excellent script contributed by G.R. Preethiviraj Kulasingham (Preethi) Sri Lanka (contributed 2/20/03, modified 5/22/03) identifies duplicate indexes for the database on which the script is run. It requires User Defined Functions, a feature restricted to SQL Server 2000.This version achieves similar results without using UDFs or creating any other permanent objects. It therefore works […]

For each user database rebuild indexes, update statistics and shrink. The script will use the system catalog to produce a list of databases. If you want to excluce a database add the excluded db name to the 'not in' list. You can also adjust the target fillfactor.

This script reindexes all tables in all databases. Execute the script with the desired fill factor and it will do the rest. There is an option to exclude databases from the reindex. This makes it easy to reindex all newly created databases. Great for the Development environment when Developers are creating database all the time.

This script uses sysobjects and sysindexes to ID all tables in a database that are indexed, and/or clustered. It then runs through per table all of the indexes and runs DBREINDEX with their fillfactor. This eliminates having to maintain a list of all indexes and having code fail when it tries to modify indexes that […]

When creating indexes on tables, it is always best to choose columns that have a high degree of selectivity, or uniqueness. This SP, ShowUniqueness, gives the user an easy way to determine the "uniqueness" percentage of a given column or combination of columns.
