Scheduled database maintenance: 2012-04-26

Post by Ron2K »

Hello

I will be performing some minor database maintenance (mainly some optimisations) on Thursday, April 26 2012 at 2100Z (please add or subtract your region's UTC offset to obtain your local time). This should take less than an hour to complete.

Please note that the forum will be unavailable while the maintenance is being performed.
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui.

^^ Index reorganisation, defragmentation -- in other words, your standard DBA kind of tasks. I'll also be adding some indexes to tables that I've identified the need for.

Like I said, it won't take long to do. It's just rather overdue, that's all.

Standard procedure is to perform a full backup of the database before commencing maintenance operations; the chance of this happening is negligible.
