    There are some other optimizations and considerations to be made, as well.

    Even if space and concurrent availabilty aren't issues for someone, there are a ton of optimizations and caveats to defragging indexes and I strongly recommend doing a deep dive on all the options in Books Online.

    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.
