>>>>In my VFP application that works with VFP database I have an item on the main menu to reindex all tables (using SDT). Now as I am moving to SQL Server I am wondering, is it a common practice to have the same item in the VFP application menu? That is, to have the application to reindex SQL Server tables? Or this is more commonly done by a DBA?

Speaking about Maintenance plan. Who makes it (if such term can apply to it)? the DBA or developer?
Update: I see that you said "defined by you or DBA". So I need to figure out how to define it then. Thanks.
