  • Is it your log file that's increased in size rather than your data file?

  • Check out whether its the date file which has increased or a log file....

    If its a log file, this is due to the rebuild index task. Change the Recovery model to Bulk Logged recovery model whenever this task is performed...

  • Hi guys

    data file is increasing and i got the root cause. this is due Fill factor is set to 10%. So i just set to 90% and i have exeucted the rebuild script again and finally all the indexes has been rebuilded and data file has been compressed.

    Thank & regards

  • As a general rule of thumb 100% FILL FACTOR benefits the read activity but slow downs the write activity. As a general rule of thumb, 100% Fill factor for no activity at all, 90% for low activity, 70% for medium activity, 50% for higher activity or lower for more
