rebuild in logshipping

  • hi, to all

    we implemented log shipping in ss 2005, db size-20gb, we have to do rebuild indexes during the weekends but that's time my log file has grown to very large

    what can i do,

    1)simply convert db->simple and then reapply log shipping or

    2)increase log size or

    please help me

  • Switch to bulk-logged recovery for the index rebuilds. Log won't grow as big, log backups will be same size

    and/or

    Rebuild only the indexes that need rebuilding. Don't use the maint plan that blindly rebuilds everything.

    As gail said, use this script to know which indexes need rebuilding, and perform on them only.

    use database

    GO

    SELECT a.index_id, name, avg_fragmentation_in_percent

    FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(), OBJECT_ID(N'Production.Product'),

    NULL, NULL, NULL) AS a

    JOIN sys.indexes AS b ON a.object_id = b.object_id AND a.index_id = b.index_id;

    GO

    /*if avg_fragemntation <30% then alter index reorganize

    if avg_fragmnetaion >30% then alter index rebuild*/
