Automated Index Defrag Script

$

UPDATE: This script has been significantly updated. Please view the latest version at http://sqlfool.com/2011/06/index-defrag-script-v4-1/.

So after much delay, here’s the latest and greatest version of my index defrag script.

A summary of the changes:

  • Added support for centralized execution. Option to defrag indexes for a single database from another database, or for all non-system databases.
  • Consolidated Enterprise and Standard versions of the script with new @editionCheck variable.
  • Added parametrization for MaxDop restrictions during rebuilds; validates that the value does not exceed the actual number of processors on the server.
  • Changed minimum fragmentation default value from 10 to 5 to match BOL recommendations.
  • Limited defrags to objects with more than 8 pages.
  • Added a debug option to give a little more insight into what’s happening and to assist with troubleshooting.
  • Updated logic for handling partitions and LOBs.

And a couple of notes and explanations:

Don’t you know you can just pass NULL to sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats for the DatabaseID?
Yes, I realize you can do this. But I don’t want to defrag the system databases, i.e. tempdb, so I opted to handle it this way instead.

How long will this take?
It depends. I don’t necessarily recommend running it without specifying a database; at least, not unmonitored. You *can* do that, but it could take a while. For example, to run sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats for all databases and tables, totaling 2TB, took me 4.5 hours; that doesn’t even count the actual defrags.

Where should I put this?
It’s up to you. If you have a database for items like centralized maintenance or scratch tables, that may be a good place for it. If you prefer, you could also put this in each individual database and call it locally, too. I would not put this in the master or msdb databases.

This is pretty close to a complete rewrite, so please let me know if you encounter any bugs. And now… the code!

    Author:     Michelle Ufford, http://sqlfool.com
 
    Purpose:    Defrags all indexes for one or more databases
 
    Notes:
 
    CAUTION: TRANSACTION LOG SIZE MUST BE MONITORED CLOSELY WHEN DEFRAGMENTING.
 
      @minFragmentation     defaulted to 10%, will not defrag if fragmentation 
                            is less than that
 
      @rebuildThreshold     defaulted to 30% as recommended by Microsoft in BOL;
                            greater than 30% will result in rebuild instead
 
      @executeSQL           1 = execute the SQL generated by this proc; 
                            0 = print command only
 
      @database             Optional, specify specific database name to defrag;
                            If not specified, all non-system databases will
                            be defragged.
 
      @tableName            Specify if you only want to defrag indexes for a 
                            specific table, format = databaseName.schema.tableName;
                            if not specified, all tables will be defragged.
 
      @onlineRebuild        1 = online rebuild; 
                            0 = offline rebuild
 
      @maxDopRestriction    Option to specify a processor limit for index rebuilds
 
      @printCommands        1 = print commands to screen; 
                            0 = do not print commands
 
      @printFragmentation   1 = print fragmentation to screen;
                            0 = do not print fragmentation
 
      @defragDelay          time to wait between defrag commands; gives the
                            server a little time to catch up 
 
      @debugMode            1 = display debug comments; helps with troubleshooting
                            0 = do not display debug comments
