And for a quick looksee on the state of the indexes in a database :

SELECT object_id AS ObjectID,
index_id AS IndexID,
avg_fragmentation_in_percent AS PercentFragment,
fragment_count AS TotalFrags,
avg_fragment_size_in_pages AS PagesPerFrag,
page_count AS NumPages
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID('Adventureworks'),
NULL, NULL, NULL , 'DETAILED')
WHERE avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 0
ORDER BY ObjectID, IndexID
