Re-org option for index where pagelock is disabled

  • I am looking for the better option, what is the best way to maintain the Re-org when allowpagelock=0. we have about several indexes which are less then 4m page counts. I see we can do re-build but some situation we can't do re-build because of blocking. is this good idea,if we turn on allow page lock while doing re-org and put it back after it done?

    Thanks

    Just my humble opinion...

    I'm not sure why people ever turn page lock off. To me, it's a "patch" for a larger problem rather than actually fixing the larger problem.

    Back to your problem...

    Obviously, whatever disallowing pagelocks did for you would not be present if you reenable page locks for the reorg. Other than that, I see no reason why you couldn't do as you suggest.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
