How to defragment Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 databases and SharePoint Server 2007 databases

INTRODUCTION

This article describes how to defragment the following Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 databases and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 databases:
  • Search database
  • Profile database
  • Content database

MORE INFORMATION

The extent of the Microsoft SQL Server index fragmentation determines whether a fragmented database will be defragmented by an online defragmentation process or by an offline defragmentation process. In online defragmentation, only the SQL Server leaf pages are defragmented, not the SQL Server locked pages. In offline defragmentation, the locked pages and all the leaf pages are defragmented.

The following SQL Server script measures the level of fragmentation, and then it performs either offline defragmentation or online defragmentation if it is required.

In the following script, the level of fragmentation is defined as the number of blocks that are logically linear and physically nonlinear. If the level of defragmentation is less than 10 percent, defragmentation does not occur. If the level of fragmentation is from 10 percent to 90 percent, online defragmentation occurs. If the level of fragmentation is more than 90 percent, offline defragmentation occurs.

Important The following SQL Server stored procedure makes changes to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 databases and SharePoint Server 2007 databases. This script must be run exactly as specified in this article. Changes that you make to SharePoint Server 2007 databases must follow the Support guidelines that are specified in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
841057  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=841057/ ) Support for changes to the databases that are used by Office server products and by Windows SharePoint Services
Note We recommend that you host the SharePoint Server 2007 databases on a computer that is running SQL Server 2005. We recommend that you monitor the level of fragmentation before and after you run this script. Schedule the script to run daily, weekly, or monthly, as appropriate for your situation.

-- =============================================
-- This stored procedure checks all indexes in the current
-- database and performs either offline or online defragmentation
-- according to the specified thresholds.
-- The stored procedure also updates statistics for indexes in which the last update
-- time is older than the specified threshold.
-- Parameters:
--	@onlineDefragThreshold specifies minimum percentage of fragmentation 
--	to perform online defragmentation (default 10%).
--	@offlineDefragThreshold specifies minimum percentage of fragmentation 
--	to perform offline defragmentation (default 90%).
--	@updateStatsThreshold specifies the number of days since the last statistics update
--	which should trigger updating statistics (default 7 days).

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
