To improve performance in sql 2000 server i did dbcc reindex after one year.. it shows great improvement in performance.Just one week before i did dbcc reindex, we need to test again because two days entry was not there due to thanks giving day,doing again reindex within one week will affect performance ???

reindexing should be done when your indexed are fragmented.
index fragmentation can be seen with the use of dbcc showcontig

reindexing once a week is always a good thing... however this depends on your setup etc...

so the unexpected reply would probably be:

nah reindexing is a completly useless thing since the clustered index takes care of it's health by itself. so you can't do anything to improve your performance

I prefer to index defrag instead of reindexing due to locking stuff.
