Hi experts, I would like to ask regarding FILL FACTOR. I observed that our system's loading is a bit slow, and some of the modules take 1 to 2 minutes loading. Maintenance activity is regularly executed based on the scheduled sets. Then I tried to checked the tables indexes/keys turns out that the FILL FACTOR is set to ZERO(0). I would like to know if the FILL FACTOR set to zero will be a factor for the system to slow down..????

How many rows to load each time? If many, youlike to set proper fill factor (say 70) to reduce index page split.

do a dbcc showcontig to see how defragged your indexes are.

If they are, then it would be wise to set the fill factor to about 70, do a DBCC DBREINDEX. Index fragmentation can cause poor index performance.

Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
