What Causes Index Fragmentation in SQL Server
What Causes Index Fragmentation in SQL Server?
✍: FYIcenter.com
Index fragmentation is usually caused by deleting of existing rows or updating existing values of the indexed column. Inserting new rows should not cause any index fragmentation.
This tutorial exercise shows you how update statements of 50000 rows on the table "fyi_link_indexed" with 100000 rows caused the index fragmented 84%:
USE FyiCenterData; GO SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fyi_links_indexed; GO 100000 SELECT i.index_id, i.name, s.avg_fragmentation_in_percent FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats ( DB_ID(N'FyiCenterData'), OBJECT_ID(N'fyi_links_indexed'), DEFAULT, DEFAULT, DEFAULT) s, sys.indexes i WHERE s.object_id = i.object_id AND s.index_id = i.index_id; GO 0 NULL 0.574712643678161 2 fyi_links_url 0 3 fyi_links_counts 0 UPDATE fyi_links_indexed SET url = REVERSE(url) WHERE id <=50000; GO (50000 row(s) affected) SELECT i.index_id, i.name, s.avg_fragmentation_in_percent FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats ( DB_ID(N'FyiCenterData'), OBJECT_ID(N'fyi_links_indexed'), DEFAULT, DEFAULT, DEFAULT) s, sys.indexes i WHERE s.object_id = i.object_id AND s.index_id = i.index_id; GO 0 NULL 0.574712643678161 2 fyi_links_url 84.053862508859 3 fyi_links_counts 0.448430493273543
Note that only the index on "url" fragmented. Index on "counts" did not affected, because the update statement only touched the "url" column.
