  • RE: Advice needed with table update has poor performance because of view

    Good, now you should be able to shrink your log to a sensible size.

  • RE: Difference between Fragementation in percent vs Page count in Index physical stats.

    Delete data from the table. That's the only reliable way to reduce the size of the data in the table, which is what page count is.
