  • I'd go with a pre-built script to do the heavy lifting. I like Michelle Ufford's scripts[/url] for doing this. Others like Ola Hollengren's.

    Scripts help, big hardware helps, SQL 2014 Enterprise Edition will help even more. That will allow for partition-based index mx as well as stats updates.

    Try Ola Hallengren http://ola.hallengren.com/sql-server-index-and-statistics-maintenance.html

    It gives you lot of control and you can just handle a single table if needed.
