Topic: Indexes, statistics and other maintenance for SharePoint databases may be thought of as no different than any other application which uses databases. This is not quite true. SharePoint has been coded and optimized to make the best and exclusive use of SQL Server. SQL Server is the engine for the framework known as SharePoint. And SharePoint has been designed to work easily with minimal intervention. Of course, larger implementations will have additional needs. We will be covering the things you can do to optimize your SharePoint database environment and scale it properly.
