    I am testing Page Split with Clustered Index and Non-clustered Index.

    I have created Single Clustered Index on a table and Inserted incremental values in the table. I do have others columns also but only one clustered index.

    My question is still I am getting page splits. What is the reason for the page split if I am inserting always incremental values.

    Another test I did with single non-clustered index on the same key and inserted incremental values. But I found less page split here.

    Please clear this doubt as why there is page split if I have inserted data in incremental order.

    Any chance of you posting the table creation code, the index code, and your inserts? It's the only way someone is going to be able to help you on this one.

    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.
