All,

-I have a weekly REINDEX job that runs on Sunday for 7 hours.
-3+ hours is spent on REINDEX of one table (very large)
results of sp_spaceused for this table:
name rows reserved data index_size unused
TSTAT 81604084 60683864 KB 13045600 KB 18937096 KB 28701168 KB

-This server is replicating out to 3 other servers (transaction).
-Replication bombs almost always on Sunday during this time and needs to be manually
restarted. Replication errors indicate server timeout.

-My sense is that this operation increases network latency during this time and
replication bombs as a result.

Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mr. Burns

Is te DB Highly transactional? Do you need to reindex every week?

Is that really Monty Burns, and not John?

This interval has been selected to control fragmentation.

How does fewer REINDEX 's affect this problem??
