Cleaning indexes in Orion database - fragmentation percentage high

Does anyone know the easiest was to reduce the fragmentation of table indexes? This is the Orion database. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Here's a job that I use on a scheduled basis that does the trick.

  • I suggest using the SQL Management Studio to create a Database Maintenance Plan.

  • Hi mharvey,

    How long did it take the SQL script to execute the 1st run? Our dbmaintenance log file highlighted the following indexes that need to be De-fragmented manually. I'm interested in how it's working for you currently and how often you usually run this. Thanks in advance!!
