I would like to re-index SQL database. I am completely new to it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 10.50.2500.
Can some one suggest the best way to do this. Do we have any free tools for the same.
Thanks.

This depends on the DBMS itself. Possibly the most portable solution is to simply drop the index and then re-create it (making sure that nobody inserts a record in the table that violates the index between the two operations of course).
However, the first question I’d be asking myself is why you think this is necessary. It seems unlikely that any change outside the DB would require re-indexing of current indexes, although it may be that your requirement is to add new (or delete old) indexes.
