non cluster index even after rebuild is 71 % fragemented

  • I have a non cluster index (primary key of a table that is referenced by several foreign keys all over the database) even after rebuild it is 71% fragmented

    Does this have to do with the foreign keys referencing it

    how to reduce its fragmentation

  • No, it has nothing to do with foreign keys.

    Let me guess, the table is under 50 pages?

  • Microsoft says:

    Generally, you should not be concerned with fragmentation levels of indexes with less than 1,000 pages.
