  • RE: Adding PERSISTED Computed Column = INDEX Defragmentation?

    If every page is full (not uncommon), adding a column could easily make every single page split because there won't be space on the full pages for the new column.

  • RE: Adding PERSISTED Computed Column = INDEX Defragmentation?

    Sure, it makes sense. You've widened the rows (by adding another column), SQL's going to have to split pages whenever the rows will no longer fit.

  • RE: How function will get execute internally in sql server?

    Much the same way as a stored procedure or ad-hoc SQL batch.

    What exactly are you looking for?

  • RE: New plan is created for every execution of stored procedure (query plan not reused)

    praveen_vejandla (9/6/2011)


    Now, profiler is not showing any recompilations for the stored procedure but for every execution of the stored procedure, a new plan is being used.

    How are you seeing that?...
