The loss of a database could impact other databases and processes, leading to poor performance, data loss, and (in many cases) database "down time." A Database Maintenance Plan is a set of proactive tasks that would regularly execute on a specified database and keep your database operating efficiently with reliable performance and availability. The plans that SQL Programmers offer are essential in keeping your database continuously available and operating smoothly.
Our proactive maintenance plans set automated backups, remove duplicate records, check for corrupted data, and archive unused data. Having a plan in place would improve database performance, keep your data secure, and work continuously without distractions or other negative impacts on your users.
SQL Database Maintenance Plan
Here are a few of the services we offer.
- Shrink the Database - Remove empty data and log pages and reduce the disk space required for a database.
- Backup the Database – Make a copy of the database to protect against accidental loss, corruption, system crashes, and natural disasters.

- Update Statistics – Ensure that the Query Optimizer has up-to-date information about the distribution of data values within the tables.
- Rebuild Indexes - Organize the data present on any data table and index all pages by rebuilding indexes.
- Reorganize Indexes – Correct the database when the indexes are heavily fragmented.
- Execute SQL Server Agent Job – Establish reliable, automated execution of certain scheduled jobs at a specified time.
