Microsoft doesn't provide a way toSELECT the job schedule descriptions. They do
provide a stored procedure[msdb.dbo.sp_get_schedule_description] which will return
a job schedule description for one job.
This script's select statement was derived from information in that procedure, and lists
all jobs on a server with their name, description and schedule description.

When doing bulk data changes it may be beneficial to disable indexes prior to starting the operation. Fortunately, SQL's rich metadata makes this very easy to automate in a robust fashion.

If you think about it carefully, you’ll realise, that index maintenance is necessary and that it makes sense, and that SQL Server is not doing this task automatically according to the book.
