I'm even more confused now ... :w00t:

The edited correct answer reads:

[...] Rows CAN span multiple pages.

[...] Ref: Pages and Extents - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190969.aspx Rows CANNOT span pages

That's perhaps my lack of command of English (being Austrian = non-native English), but to me this looks like a contradiction.

What's even more confusing: For some questions, BOL definitions are deemed the ultima ratio, no discussion allowed and that's how it is (even if one's own logical understanding, better knowledge and common sense tell you the opposite).

In this case--well, better knowledge prevails over BOL (or should I say the interpretation of that item in BOL by the majority of the members of this forum?).

While personally I welcome the learning, even if that means to correct or contradict the 'official' documentation (read BOL), I do miss a firm steer in this respect--it should either be the plain facts that count, or 'book knowledge' (how it's being offcially published by the vendor).

Please, don't get me wrong--I'm viewing this from the learning perspective; and the above 'correct answer' would leave me as a novice with a mouth wide open, questioning my ability to comprehend.

Thanks,

Michael
