To defrag is it always a manual process for safety reason or other or could we automate the process?

Dead simple. Note current time. Issue defrag command. On completion note time. Observe difference between recorded times, hey presto !

Or:

No.

The systems fine with no users loggged in. Can we keep it that way ?br>

Sure... create a scheduled job... you can use SQL Server to do it or Windows Task Scheduler. Or, I'm pretty sure you can include it in a "maintenance" job.

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.
