Maintenance Plan DBCC Functionality

When setting up a maintenance plan ,with the maintenance plan wizard,
when SQL re-organizes data and index pages, will data be able to be
inserted and read during these operations?
Thanks,
ben mMaint wiz uses DBCC DBREINDEX.
From memory, DBREINDEX will acquire shared table lock when rebuilding
non-clustered index. This will allow reads, but writes will be blocked.
Again, from memory, DBREINDEX will acquire exclusive table lock when
rebuilding clustered index- This will block both readers (unless code does
dirty reads) and writers.

|||Would it be possible to manually execute the DBCC REINDEX command with
an option not to lock writes?
This is a transaction processing box.
thanks again,

|||Nope, there's currently no such option for DBCC DBREINDEX, I'm afraid.

|||Do you know of any other maintenance tools that can be used, that will
allow writes to the table being modified?

|||It is not the client's decision whether to write at the same time as a rebui
ld is happening. It is
the server's decision. In SQK Server, all the methods to rebuilds an index,
will in the end call the
same code (the code which is called when an index is created by CREATE INDEX
), and this code uses
locks to protect against other modifications.

|||Also, you might want to check out DBCC INDEXDEFRAG in case you haven't alrea
dy. I do recommend
reading the document that Paul posted. Good stuff.
