Do we need to run rebuild index and re-org index everyday?

  • Hi,

    I know it depends. We re-index everyday before full backup through maintenance plans. These maintenance plans have re-org and and check database integrity steps after the backups run, we don't even have update statistics. These are set by previous DBA. We do lots of updates and deletes for few tables. Can someone explain me clearly of these two indexing systems.

    Thanks,

    VG

  • Most dedicated DBA's like to roll their own maintenance routines instead of using maintenance plans. One issue with Reindex/reorg using maintenance plans is that every index is touched regardless of need.

    I typically recommend checking out Michelle Ufford's index maintenance script[/url] as a starting point. Remember that index statistics are updated whenever an index is rebuilt.

    Here is another good post about index and statistics maintenance
