  • RE: it's a bug?

    If the DMV shows that the index has 11.111% fragmentation, then the index has 11.111% fragmentation. Not 5%, not 3%, 11.111%. The DMV is accurate.

    If the index is small (which...

  • RE: it's a bug?

    The DMV is correct. If it shows 11.1111%, then that index is 11.1111% fragmented.

  • RE: it's a bug?

    Neither rebuild nor reorganise is expected to reduce fragmentation to 0. If the index is very small it's unlikely to change the fragmentation at all. No, it's not a bug.

    Query parallels, spends 10 seconds executing on 4 CPUs. Elapsed time, 10 seconds. CPU time used 10 seconds * 4 CPUs = 40 seconds.

  • RE: Updating using # table

    Updating with a temp table (# table) is the same as with a normal table.

    Can you explain a bit clearer where you're stuck?

  • RE: label policy-row level security

    There is no SQL Server feature called label policy. SQL Server database engine doesn't have cells, nor does it have row-level security.

    SSAS maybe? SSRS? Something else?

  • RE: label policy-row level security

    There's no such feature in SQL as 'label policy'

    Where did you hear that phrase and in what context?
