Overview

What is Db Maint?

Db Maint is a product that helps you maintain Microsoft SQL Server installations.

Its main parts consist of two programs: DbMaint.exe (the client) and DbM.exe (the server).

DbMaint.exe is a graphical program used to define what you want to perform for each maintenance execution.

DbM.exe reads those definitions and executes the various commands over a SQL Server connection. A scheduler, for instance SQL Executive or SQL Server Agent, starts DbM.
