Plant Applications Database Purge

Purging the plant applications database should only be done by someone who knows the configuration and business rules of the system very well. Careful investigation and consideration should be done prior to making decisions about what to purge and when to purge. There are many different versions of purge utilities. The following links will bring you to the GE knowledge base articles that describe the purge utility and include downloads of the various versions. Depending on the size of the database, the initial purge could take several hours and should be done offline.

Using Ola Hallengren Solution for Index Maintenance

Ola Hallengren's scripts are simple to configure and can be used to optimize SQL Server indexes:

• Index Maintenance: The script performs index defragmentation, index rebuilding and update statistics on all indexes in a database.

• Index Optimization: The script analyzes index fragmentation and recommends indexes to rebuild or reorganize.

• Index Verify: The script performs index verification and reports any corrupted indexes.

By using Ola Hallengren's scripts, you can automate and simplify index maintenance tasks, improve database performance, and ensure the integrity of your indexes.

Below is the Configuration of Maintenance Solution:

One of the Best ways of Index and Statistics Maintenance is having as below:

• Update only Modified Statistics on Daily Basis and Log to Table “CommandLog”.

EXECUTE master.dbo.IndexOptimize --
	@Databases = 'SOADB', --List of Databases can be passed as CSV String
	@FragmentationLow = NULL,
	@FragmentationMedium = NULL,
	@FragmentationHigh = NULL,
	@UpdateStatistics = 'ALL',
	@OnlyModifiedStatistics = 'Y',
	@LogToTable = 'Y';

• Index Re-Build and Re-Organize along on Weekly Basis based on the Fragmentation Percentage.

EXECUTE master.dbo.IndexOptimize --
	@Databases = 'SOADB',
	@FragmentationLow = NULL,
	@FragmentationMedium = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE,INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
	@FragmentationHigh = 'INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
	@FragmentationLevel1 = 5,
	@FragmentationLevel2 = 30,
	@UpdateStatistics = 'ALL',
	@OnlyModifiedStatistics = 'Y',
	@LogToTable = 'Y';

We can use master.dbo.CommandLog Table to Analyze the frequency of Indexes and Statistics Updation.
