Hi,

I have a new job. It needs to drop and re-create (by insert) a table
every night. The table contains approximately 3,000,000 (and growing)
records. The insert is fine, runs in 2 minutes. The problem is that
when I create the indexes on the table, it is taking 15-20 minutes.
There is one clustered index and 11 non-clustered. This is a lookup
table that takes many different paremeters, so it really needs the
indexes for the user interface to run efficiently. However, the
database owners aren't keen on a job taking 20 minutes to run every
night.

Any ideas?
