Optimization/Integrity job

  • Can Optimization and Integrity job run at the same time?

  • Integrity job - Reorganizes index , optimization - rebuild index , its advisable not to run both jobs at same time , its worth putting as a single maintenace plan to run integrity first and optimization second vice versa , not good enough to run at same time

  • If you are using the Maintenance Plans in SQL Server I also would recommend scheduling the Integrity Checks to occur before a full database backup. This aids in ensuring the database is in a consistent state prior to backup. Of course verify your backups from time-to-time as well goes without saying.
