DBREINDEX and Log Shipping

  • Hello

    I have to do a dbreindex soon on a database that is being logshipped. The database is large and to restart logshipping is not really an option.

    Having tested some of the tables, it can take 4 hours and produce 40-50gb of transaction logs for one table.

    My question is: Has anyone ever come across a situation where log shipping could not handle the dbreindex? Or does anyone know that this will not work?

    I know the index gets written to the logs but do not know what the restore on the secondary server will make of it.

    SQL2000 on windows 2003.

    Thank you

    William

  • Its been a while since I’ve worked with log shipping, but as far as I remember, it simply does the reindex operation on the secondary database just like it was done on the primary database.

  • Thank you - I am sure that is what it will try to do - I am just worried when the reindex is contained in numerous logfiles over a two hour period (every 10 minutes) and the secondary server is trying to restore each one as it comes in.

    Hoping it will cope!
