When you create a Maintenance Plan and tell SQL Server to Optimize indexes, does it actually perform a DBCC DBREINDEX or does it just defrag the indexes? I have always set up a sproc, and set it up as a job, but I have a new DBA, who is using Maintenance Plans on some of our smaller servers.

Any reason not to use Maintenance Plans?

Thanks,

It performs DBREINDEX. None of the options in the db maint. wizard perform a DEFRAG.
