Overview

There are a situations when you might need to run a manual index rebuild on your SQL Server:

  • updates - before running a Verba update (this is important on large systems to minimize the update time)
  • slow searches - when you experience slow searches it means that your automated maintenance job does not run index rebuild (recommended every week)

Run a manual index rebuild

This is how you can run index rebuild on the two largest tables in the Verba database:

Step 1 - Open SQL Server Management Studio

Step 2 - Connect to the database server and

Step 3 - In the left tree find Databases / <VerbaDB> / Tables 

Step 4 - Open the dbo.Section table, right click Indexes and run Rebuild All

Step 4 - Open the dbo.Section_archived table, right click Indexes and run Rebuild All
