Smart Re-index

Smart Re-index

Def: Smart re-index keeps the database available unlike normal re-index and the type of re-index(rebuild or re-organization) will be decided based on the fragmentation percentage. 

To set up smart reindex, we need to check the fragmentation level of the database and decide whether it should be index rebuild or reorganizing.

If fragmentation percentage <30 then reorganize else rebuild

After the reindex is performed, we update statistics for that database.

Above mentioned is one of the ways to configure smart re-index. A job can be scheduled to run the above code and reports can also be configured to check the fragmentation percentage.

Tail Log Backups

Tail log backups capture the tail of the log even if the database is offline, damaged, or missing data files. This might cause incomplete metadata from the restore information commands and msdb. However, only the metadata is incomplete; the captured log is complete and usable. If a tail-log backup has incomplete metadata, in the backupset table, has_incomplete_metadata is set to 1. Also, in the output of RESTORE HEADERONLY, HasIncompleteMetadata is set to 1.
