Little confused about this script

  • I wanted to create a job which would runs every other Sunday. This job would reorganize indexes which are less than 30% fragmented and it would rebuild all the indexes which are more than 30% fragmented. We only have 1 DB per instance and there are 4 instances on 1 server. What I did was that I got this rebuild index script from https://ola.hallengren.com/sql-server-index-and-statistics-maintenance.html. I just created a job with this script, but I actually don't know what I am doing. It's like I am sitting in the car with the keys in my hand but I don't know how to drive and how to start. Can someone look at the code and let me know if it will work and reorganize and rebuild indexes the way I want.

  • If you do the installation of the Maintenance Solution from Ola Hallengren, it will create the jobs with the defaults for you. All you have to do is then set the schedule for when you want them to run. Ola's jobs default to run against User Databases and another for System Databases. The settings for fragmentation are set for >5% and < 30%, reorganize, else if > 30% fragmented, then rebuild.

    USE [msdb]

    @FragmentationLevel1 = 5,

    @FragmentationLevel2 = 40,

    Looking at the code you posted, you have it set for >5% and < 40% (reorg) else >40% (rebuild).

  • To answer another side of it, it appears you have it set to run every 2 weeks (every other week) on Sunday at 12:30AM. Sorry I didn't put all of these in one response.
