I had a typo in object_name which is why it failed. The script ran fine.

Cheers

I am trying to troubleshoot some fragmentation. I saw the script you posted at the beginning which identifies which tables are fragmented etc.

This is very useful as when you query against ‘sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats’ it only displays object id’s.

I ran the script & gave the following error “Msg 195, Level 15, State 10 Line 1
‘OBJECTNAME’ is not a recognised built-in function name’.

I would appreciate if you could help me how this error can be resolved.

If anyone else is able to run this script, pls let me know.

Thanks
Anup..

1) Using the DETAILED option includes the non-zero index-levels as well (non-leaf pages). According to many source, this should also be actioned, seeing that this indicates “logical” fragmentation (meaning that the leaf pages are not in the order of the non-leaf keys any more). I cannot find anything conclusive on this. Where as the index level=0 occurrences, indicates extent fragmentation. We are using this this dmv, to check fragmentation-levels first, and based on that, do the necessary re-index/reorg. Currently we are using the LIMITED option (which only shows leaf-level), but we seem to be missing indexes that needs to be re-indexed/re-orged.

2) Secondly, the stats that this function return, does not seem to be reliable. I ran the function prior to an ALTER…. REBUILD, and then again thereafter. There were hardly any differences in the stats. Is it now a case of the stats being unreliable, or the REBUILD not being effective?

I do not want to be in the situation where we miss indexes because of unreliable stats. We already suspect that this could be the case.

Can you please comment on this.
