comment Programmatically find indexes that cannot be rebuilt online
Thanks all. I've used this method for now. I've looked at Ola's scripts. The problem I was originally grappling with was massive log bloat during index rebuild, so I'm trying an approach of rebuilding the 20 worst indexes at a time - I couldn't figure out how to incorporate this into Ola's script just yet.

It's the same application, same connection string, hence the confusion.

Don't understand why most connection are being made as read committed but these particular connections are read uncomitted

Blocking is being investigated as one possible cause of the intermittent poor performance. I'm really interested to understand why the same session would be getting updated so frequently.

Looks like they may have. We had to add the randomise bit.

Interesting suggestion, but the cursor is actually part of the official MS stored proc, not something that has been added.

Hmm. fairdoos. The jobs won't overlap, and I don't think it get's called from anywhere else. But adding TOP 10 will just make blocking worse. At present the cursor ensures that only one record is deleted at a time, right?

Because the procedure runs for > 1 minute at busy times, there is the danger that 2 copies of the proc are trying to delete the same row, the ordering by NEWID reduces the chance of this.
