Hi,
I'm looking for a typical as well as an optimized settings for DB Maintenance Plan. I'd appreciate much If someone can point me out some good related articles.
Recently, I pay special attention on 2 settings in the Maint. Plan: Data Optimization Plan & Database Integrity Check
Under Data Optimization Tab there're couple of choices should be made ie Reorganize Data & Pages, Update Statistic & Remove unused space. the first two is mutually exclusive. However, I couldn't justify myself which choices should be chosen and what's the value for particular criteria (such as free space per page percentage)
I'd appreciate much on any suggestions.
Thanks in advance

I tend to check the following:
Change to 10% free space for those that aren't heavy transactional ones. More like 30-40 for larger trans loads.
I remove space, shrink down to 10% growth (I have auto grow set to 10%)

I tend to put each user database into a separate maintenance plan.
On small to medium databases I tend to enable the "Reorganise data and index pages", where as on larger ones I tend to not to preferring to have a specific maintenance plan to do this.
On small to medium databases I tend to enable "reorganise pages with original amount of space.
On larger ones I use the "Change free space per page".
I have my own stored procedure to update statistics. This, and all my other utility stored procedures I put in the MODEL database so every new database inherrits them.
Remove unused space from files is an option I put in a specific maintenance plan.
I check the data integrity box on all maintenance plans but don't check the "attempt to repair minor problems". I'm not sure what it would do to the database so I would sooner find there is a problem then try to correct it myself.
I always have these checks performed prior to the backup.
