Reindex Procedure with a Twist (or two)

,

We’ve all seen reindex procedures that rebuild all indexes in a database or all indexes in a database which have less than a specified ScanDensity. This one goes a few steps further. First, the DBA can specify a ScanDensity_Threshold (a min value for ScanDensity), plus a Limit (qty or %). If you specify a ScanDensity_Threshold of 80, and a Limit of 50%, then only the worst 50% of all indexes in the database with a ScanDensity < 80 will be rebuilt. It determines the “worst” n% of all indexes by calculating a Reindex_Factor based on ScanDensity and PageCount. An index with a ScanDensity of 70 and 2000 pages will be reindexed before an index with a ScanDensity of 25 and 2 pages. After it finishes, you can query the DBA_Index_History table to see which indexes were rebuilt and why. The DBA has the option to specify a FillFactor_Age_Limit. If an index is rebuilt a second time within the FillFactor_Age_Limit timeframe, the FillFactor will be reduced by 5, to a minimum of 70. (If this is not desired, simply set FillFactor_Age_Limit = 0). An alert can be sent to the DBA when an index’s FillFactor reaches 70 (commented out. You may insert your own alert method). This procedure is written to take advantage of a “DBA” database which I have on each of my SQL Servers. If you store your maintenance procedures in the master database, you will need to take this into account, but I highly encourage you to move them into a “DBA” database. It greatly simplifies management! There is much documentation in the code. Please examine the procedure carefully understand how it works before you implement it. This version of the procedure is only tested in SQL 2000. With that, I hope you find this procedure as useful as I have.

/*
NOTE: A colleague recently asked me to implement reindex history in this process.  In working on that, I discovered that the procedure was NOT reindexing the way I thought it was.  The procedure was designed with the assumption that rebuilding a clustered index would automatically reindex all non-clustered indexes.  I have 
learned that this is only true for NON-UNIQUE clustered indexes.  Because of this, the procedure has been significantly modified.  If you have downloaded and implemented this procedure, please stop using it and download the new version.  The new version adds a history table, and a history load procedure.  Eventually, I will incorporate the history load logic into the reindex procedure.  Also, we are 
not currently using the fill factor logic in my shop, and I have other fires to fight, so the fill factor logic is untested in this version.  If you are, or want to use it, please test it first!

/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLAW!!!  age limit can only work for the previous run!  NOT # of days, because of the way the #FillFactor_Table
is being populated.  

From an e-mail to Lezza -

Modification to fix the fillfactor routine would take care of the history as well.  But its going to require some 
thought to decide on the best way to handle it.  In the mean time, I COULD migrate the DBA_index_stats table to an 
archive table that would give you previous run information.  Could either overwrite it with each run, or put a 
"Run_Date" with current date default and then just do an insert.  Table would grow quickly though, so would need to 
have a process to remove old records.  Would be pretty simple to set up.  Actually, a history table with "Run_Date" 
would be useful in fixing the fill_factor logic as well.  The logic itself isn't a priority as we aren't currently 
using it.

This has been implemented, but the fill factor logic has not been tested!!!
