Hi:

 

I have to update all the records of a table.  I'm worried about what the table will look like in terms of fragmentation when this is finished.  Is there some sort of table healing/reorg/rebuild measure I should take if I want the resulting table to operate at optimal efficiency?  What about indexes, should I drop/recreate those?

 

(I remember the bad-ole days with Oracle where table defragging and index rebuilding was something we had to do)

 

Thanks  for any help !
