Recap from Last Year
Database Maintenance
Check Database Integrity
The Check Database Integrity task checks the allocation and structural integrity of all
the objects in the specified database.
Database Maintenance
Reorganize Index Task
The Reorganize Index task defragments and compacts indexes on tables and views.
This improves index-scanning performance.
Database Maintenance
Rebuild Index Task
The Rebuild task reorganizes data on the data and index pages by rebuilding indexes.
This improves performance of index scans and seeks.
This task also optimizes the distribution of data and free space allowing faster future growth.
