Does somebody has a query to rebuild or reorganized (depending on the level of fragmentation) all the indexes in the database? The only input parameter is a database name.. It should find an indexes itself and make a decision what to do with it...

Thanks so much!

Can I set

@frag >30 and pages 1000 then rebuild

@frag between 5 and 30 and pages 1000 then reorganize

Would it be correct?

I use this package from MS's DB Operations team as part of my standard build. Have found them very reliable and extendible.

Heh... don't over look what's in Books Online. If you lookup "DBCC SHOWCONTIG" and scroll down, you'll find a section with the following label...

[font="Arial Black"]E. Using DBCC SHOWCONTIG and DBCC INDEXDEFRAG to defragment the indexes in a database[/font]

That section has the very code you seek in it. 😉 And, yes, it has a cursor in it... it's one of the very few places where a cursor might actually be condoned.

As per MS U r correct.

Thanks so much!
Can I set
case 1:@frag >30 and pages 1000 then rebuild
case 2:@frag between 5 and 30 and pages 1000 then reorganize
Would it be correct?

Hi Vika,

U can use .Its depends.

If u get any error replay me.

e.g

case 2:If Allow page lock=OFF in this case the job was failed and u will get following error.

Msg 2552, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The index "CIX (partition 1) on table "table_name" cannot be reorganized because page level locking is disabled.

Edit :add more info

It's interesting that in that very same topic, Microsoft says "This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work" and "Use ALTER INDEX…REORGANIZE to reorder the leaf-level pages of the index in a logical order", and then it proceeds to use the old code in its examples!

The code that is recommended for SQL 2005 can be found in books on line under 'sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats' .

It is very similar to the code in "DBCC SHOWCONTIG" page

Heh... true enough on both points. I tend to make things as backwards compatible to 2k as possible because I saw a survey (again, recently) that says that more than 67% of all IT shops still have SQL Server 2k instances running. It also shows that I really need to install the Dev Edition of 2k8 on my machine so I can catch these caveats as the product progresses.
