>How is it recommended that I rebuild or reorganize my indexes? Daily or Monthly? Does rebuilding include reorganizing or are they different things?
It varies according to your database update frequency and the selection of your clustered index.
Independently of these factors, for "regular" database, I do the complete task on a weekly basis (because most of my databases are used Monday-to-Friday from 9 to 5).
