Re: Build Indexes as Scheduled task?

What platform is your ETL tool running on and doesn't it provide for before and after actions for scheduled jobs?

In my DWH load process my ETL tool ( DataStage from Ascential Software running on Solaris 8) runs my jobs in the early AM and drops the indexes before the job runs and recreates them after.
