    What is fill factor ? Can anyone explain it with one example?

    Craig's explanation is a good one. For more detail, I recommend looking up "page splits" in Books Online (the help system that comes with SQL Server).

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
