    When SQL Server brings pages into Memory, the pages sit in memory in the same way as they were sitting on disk?

    Meaning?

    When the query is submitted for the second time, even though the pages are in memory, are there still reads happening on the disk? Because of the Clustered Index Seek?

    Is this right?

    Only if some pages are needed that aren't in memory

    Meaning?

    In the same order as they were on disk

    Only if some pages are needed that aren't in memory

    Ok this makes sense

    What I'm struggling to grasp is why does SQL Server still worry with the Index if all the pages that it needs is already in memory.

    Thanks
