    Bummer. Any particular reason I should do this on 2000?

    Simplicity. It'll likely work fine on 2008, but with schema corruption like this it's probably safer to keep things...

  • RE: Database Maintenance Plan and log file size

    Barkingdog (12/12/2011)


    (I have a feeling that indexing should be done only as needed and not as part of a scheduled maintenance plan).

    Indexing (creating or modifying indexes) should be done as...

    What about rescripting the database from scratch, then DTS the data into the empty shell? I've read on a few different posts that this is a possible solution. Would...

  • RE: Database Maintenance Plan and log file size

    Take the shrink out, it's massively fragmenting your indexes right before rebuilding them (and growing the DB in the process). Talk about a waste of effort.

    Index rebuilds.

    They're fully logged in full recovery and the log space used will be > the size of the index rebuild, hence the log backups will be as well. (bulk...
