I - much like you - have a deep passion for anything SQL, but am a bit of a newbie to the role of DBA. I love it! :) We have SQL Saturday (on a Friday no-less) out here in the Twin Cities, this coming fall. You should come and it would be awesome to have you speak! I work with Jason Strate of the blog StrateSQL (Twitter @StrateSQL), and we work together both at Digineer, and on the MNSSUG (MNPASS) chapter together.

I learned classic ASP when Visual Interdev first went gold and wrote the first data-based application in my company using SQL Server 4.2.1. Most of what I needed was packed away in gray matter from working on another platform. I jumped in and never looked back. 20+ years on with SQL server and I am still fascinated by how it works and what I can accomplish. Keep the passion. It is more fun. Guru just gets you called at 2 am. :-) Passion trumps guru any day.

I remember back I had to use CompuServe with connecting speed at 1600 baud modem in the 90s. It looks like I started developing the first website using HTML and notepad in 1997.

I just found it and you did an awesome job! I have the same desire as Nedrik. I would like to be able to let the script figure out if the next index can be completed within a certain time threshold or otherwise not get started. I work for a large bank and the green windows are strict. If you have an update to this since it was posted in May that would be great. By the way, I am very interested in your comments about Ola's defrag script and how it might compare. I would appreciate an expert opinion from you on his complicated script for defragging. Some of your and his scripts have elements that are beyond my current knowledge so I appreciate any insight. thanks! Michelle, I really appreciate your defgra script.
