I need to manage the problem of negative performance implications when I fragment a 1TB+ DB. I want to perform Index Reorganization if fragmentation is no higher than 30%, and Index Rebuild if the fragmentation exceeds 30%.

Firstly can anyone recommend a script which uses sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats system to ascertain the
fragmentation level. Secondly, is there a technique I can employ to prevent the ONLINE operation completely killing performance on 27/4 production system?


ALTER INDEX REORGANIZE/REBUILD WITH (ONLINE=ON)

By default the feature is OFF. So unless you specify the ONLINE=ON condition, online reindexing doesnt happen.
