• So you are getting way down into the heart of SQL Server internals here. I'd love to have a reference to where I can read about this. But, if I understand it correctly, the difference between logical and physical at this point is way beyond what the originator of the thread was worried about. He'll need to spend 5 more years working with it then take a SQL Server internals class to fully understand what you are saying.

    By-the-way, you are further down into the internals than I am too. I believe you and the logical/physical nature of the indexes although I don't quite understand it.
