sqlserver 2008 rebuild all indexes based on fragmentation

There is no inbuilt way to do this with the ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD command so you need to code something.

If you query sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats() with average_fragmentation > 30 then send the results of this query to a table. You can then dynamically create the ALTER INDEX commands from the index names in this table and run the resulting statements...

here's some based on fragmentation (the last of these appears to be nicely simple):

this one doesn't take fragmentation into account, but may be a source of ideas for you, (i.e. the scope is broader than a single db):

Hello acperkins, Forgive me, I am a DBA novice....I have downloaded the script "MaintenanceSolution"...Do I run the script first or do I save it as a stored procedure.

Thanks,

Bill

That is a great solution. If you run the MaintenanceSolution.sql script it will create the required stored procedures (and other objects) in the master database of the SQL instance.

You can change this easily if you want to create the objects elsewhere by finding the use [master] statement near the top of the script and changing to your desired database.

It worked great!   Thank you so much!
