Hi All,
Is it true that in MSSQL2005 the tables will be
automaticlly reindexing. Do we need to run Reindexing manually on the tables.
Thank in advance,
JP

I would find that would be a bad thing...but I'll have to look up in bol...it might be something you can configure...but can you imagine a table that auto defrags on a multi million row table during the height of your site visits

sql server 2005 doesn't reindex the tables itself.
It does however have an online reindex feature which has virtualy no impact on performance.
It basicly creates a snapshot and uses that to reindex a live DB.

The acctuall process is quite complex and it's explanation can be found with a bit of googling.
