A procedure to determine and assign fill factor to every index in a SQL Server database

Fill Factor Readme

Within this folder are two TSQL scripts. FillFactorIndexSetup.sql specifies a Admin schema if not already there, builds a rebuild history table, and establishes an extended event to count number of bad page splits.

SQLAgentScriptRebuildIndexes.sql is a script I run as a SQL Agent job nightly that perturbs indexes with average fragmentation greater than 1.2% and tracks fragmentation to determine and set a fill factor.
This script is still evolving and may change daily.

I am working on getting both of these scripts into GitHub and use it as a versioning tool. My GitHub is is MByrdTX. Look for it there in the near future.

Also in this folder are two word documents that have been published at SQLServerCentral.com. The script attached to Part1 has a typo in it and has since evolved as described above.

Also in this folder is a GroupBy PowerPoint presentation I gave on May 13. A video recording should be available from GroupBy.com.
