I'm looking at a maintenance plan that someone else setup and the tasks (rebuild index, reorg index and check db integrity) are not connected.
Shouldn't they be connected in order for them all to be executed?
Also, there is both a rebuild AND a reorg index task as part of this plan. Why both? Why no task for rebuilding statistics? COULD there be a reason for this? The original owner is no longer available, so I cant ask them.
In a maintenence plan I made on a different server, I had the following tasks
Rebuild Index >> Update Statistics >> Notify
(>> = connection)
From what ive read, to clean up indexes, you want to do a rebuild index task, then update the statistics. Would there be a reason for the former arrangement?
