Fill factor setting

  • When rebuilding indexes with a fillfactor say 80%, where or how do you know next time you want to rebuild the index? I can't seem to find where SQL keeps the fillfactor setting of an index. After I use "alter index" cmd, I can see the fillfactor effect when using showcontig. But when I look at the rebuilt index, I don't see the last fillfactor I used.

    In the index props you can set the fillfactor, agreed, but after rebuilding and checking idx props again, you don't see what you have used last. Or are we supposed to document this ourselves?

    Best rgds,

  • If you don't specify fillfactor, sqlserver just rebuilds using the formar fillfacor.

    To view the fill factor value of indexes, use the sys.indexes catalog view.
