Hi all,

I have a table with over 4M records (SQL Server 2000). I have an uniqie clustered index on an int data type column. What kind of fill factor is better to use smaller (10..) or bigger (90..). I have to insert 50-60 000 new records per week in that table.
Thanks.

It depends on to what kind of database belongs your table – OLTP (I guess not) or warehouse. How frequently data is inserting to table (once a week, once a day or during of day)? What about updates?
For OLTP it needs to set low level of fill factor. If it is warehouse, you add data to table once during of day or week (from OLTP) – set high level of fill factor.

What is the read frequency? Is there a lot of 'select' statements on the DB?

How often do you rebuild the indexes?
