I haven't run defragment on SQL server, but after reading, it seems that defragment increases performance if the MDF file size is big. <br />
So, I like to run defragment on the server, but don't know if there's any better tool to run online or should I take down the server to run it. <br />
The other question, how often do you guys run defragment on sql server?
