>>>>>>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?

Thank you. I am sorry that I am asking so many questions. But what does a developer tell the DBA? That is, should the developer provide some kind of paper documentation describing what tables or what indexes it should have?
