The MidnightDBAs release Minion Reindex


The MidnightDBA team is announcing the release of a new, free index maintenance solution for SQL Server: Minion Reindex.

Database professionals need a reindex solution that is fully automated out of the box, intuitive to use, simple to customize, deeply configurable, and easy to report from. Existing index maintenance solutions fall short in ease of deployment, configurability, reporting, and more. The new Minion Reindex by MidnightDBA was designed by database administrators, for database administrators, to solve every one of these headaches.

Download Minion Reindex
Minion Reindex is a powerful and elegant tool that we are proud to have in our toolbox.  It makes our jobs easier, makes our clients’ maintenance operations more streamlined, and overall just makes the world a shinier, happier place to live in. 
Download Minion Reindex now for free at www.MidnightSQL.com/Minion.  And, join us at our Minion Reindex webinar on Monday October 27 at 12:00pm CT.  Check www.MidnightSQL.com/Minion for webinar information and links to documentation and feature tutorials.  

Features

We’re excited about a LOT of the features in Minion Reindex. Why is this particular solution worth your notice? Well…
·         Super easy install and removal, of course.
·         Easy MASS installation. One little Powershell script, and you can install Minion Reindex on hundreds of instances just as easily as on one.
·         Extreme granular configuration. Configure extensive settings at the default, database, and/or table levels with ease. And I mean every setting you can think of, from Fill Factor to sort in TempDB.
·         Order index operations by database and by table. This feature is very powerful; there are 2 levels of ordering at the database level, and another 2 levels for table ordering.
·         Flexible include and exclude – Reindex only the databases you want, using specific database names, and/or LIKE expressions. There’s even an advanced option to use regular expressions (regex) for excludes.
·         Live insight – Minion Reindex lets you see what’s happening while the routine is still running. See what Minion Reindex is doing every step of the way, and how much further it has to go.
·         Maximized maintenance window – Spend the whole maintenance window on index maintenance, not on gathering fragmentation stats. (Oh yeah, we let you schedule the frag stats gathering separately, if that’s what you want.)
·         Extensive, useful logging – Use the Minion Reindex log for estimating the end of the current reindexing run, troubleshooting, planning, and reporting.
·         Built in manual runs – Choose to only print reindex statements, and run them individually as needed.
·         Integrated help –Get help on any Minion Reindex object without leaving Management Studio.
