According to Copilot: The fill factor in a database determines the percentage of each page (in a page-organized storage system) to be filled with data, leaving the rest as free space for future growth. In your question, the fill factor is 20% for the first design and 40% for the second design. This means that 80% of each page is left as free space in the first design and 60% in the second design.
If we denote the total number of rows that can fit in a page as R, then the number of free rows per page can be calculated as follows:
For the first design: A = R * 80% For the second design: B = R * 60% If we divide A by B, we get:
A/B = (R * 80%) / (R * 60%) = 80/60 = 1.33
So, A = 1.33B.
This means that the first design, with a lower fill factor, leaves more free rows per page than the second design.
In MS SQL Server, the fill factor determines the percentage of space on each page that is initially allocated to store data. A lower fill factor (e.g., 20%) leaves more space empty on each page, while a higher fill factor (e.g., 40%) allocates less empty space. The purpose of the fill factor is to allow for page splits and data growth without requiring frequent page adjustments, which can be costly in terms of auto performance.
The relationship between A and B can be calculated as follows:
Let's assume that the total number of rows per page is C.
For the first design (20% fill factor): A = 0.20 * C (20% of the page is empty)
For the second design (40% fill factor): B = 0.40 * C (40% of the page is empty)
Now, we want to find the relationship between A and B:
A = 0.20 * C B = 0.40 * C
To find the ratio of A to B, we can divide the equation for A by the equation for B:
A / B = (0.20 * C) / (0.40 * C)
C cancels out, and you get:
A / B = 0.20 / 0.40 = 1/2
So, A is half of B:
A = 0.5 * B
If you want to express the relationship between B and A, you can take the reciprocal:
B = 2 * A
Therefore, the correct relationship between A and B is:
B = 2A
Can I use this formula for indexing on my Traffic Rider Unlimited Money website?
We can use the formula to calculate the number of rows per page for a clustered index in MS SQL Server:
Rows per page = 8096 / (Avg row size + 2) where Avg row size includes the maximum possible size of all columns in the table.
For the first design with a fill factor of 20%, we can calculate the number of rows per page using the following formula:
Rows per page = 8096 / (Avg row size + 2) * 0.2 For the second design with a fill factor of 40%, we can use the following formula:
Rows per page = 8096 / (Avg row size + 2) * 0.4 We can simplify these formulas by dividing them by each other:
Rows per page (design 1) / Rows per page (design 2) = 0.2 / 0.4 Rows per page (design 1) / Rows per page (design 2) = 0.5 Rows per page (design 1) = 0.5 * Rows per page (design 2) Now, we can substitute the formula for Rows per page to get:
(Avg row size (design 2) + 2) / 0.4 / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) / 0.2 = 0.5 (Avg row size (design 2) + 2) / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) = 0.67 (Avg row size (design 2) + 2) = 0.67 * (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) Avg row size (design 2) + 2 = 0.67 * Avg row size (design 1) + 1.34 Avg row size (design 2) = 0.67 * Avg row size (design 1) - 0.66 Since the number of free rows per page depends on the number of rows per page, we can use the formulas for Rows per page to relate the number of free rows per page for each design:
A / Rows per page (design 1) = B / Rows per page (design 2) A / (8096 / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) * 0.2) = B / (8096 / (Avg row size (design 2) + 2) * 0.4) A / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) = B / (Avg row size (design 2) + 2) * 2 A / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) = B / (0.67 * Avg row size (design 1) - 0.66 + 2) * 2 A / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) = B / (0.67 * Avg row size (design 1) + 1.34) * 2 A / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) = B / (0.67 * Avg row size (design 1)) * 1.49 A / B = (0.67 * Avg row size (design 1) + 2) / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) * 1.49 A / B = 0.67 * 1.49 + 2 / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) A / B = 1.33 + 2 / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) Therefore, the relation between A and B is:
A / B = 1.33 + 2 / (Avg row size (design 1) + 2) Since we do not have information about the average row size for each design, we cannot determine a numerical relation between A and B. Therefore, none of the given options (A = 1.33B, B = 1.33A, A = 0.67B, B = 0.67A) can be confirmed with the given information.
if total number rows in design of A = total number rows in design of B,
A = 0.8x AND B = 0.6x
then
x = A/0.8 = B/0.6
A = (B / 0.6)*0.8
A = (0.8 / 0.6)* B
A = 1.33B
