How can you control the amount of free space in your index pages? : sql server DBA..

Answer / Ramandeep Singh

To manage the free space in index pages, you can use the FILLFACTOR and PAD_INDEX options when creating or rebuilding an index. The FILLFACTOR option specifies the percentage of pages to fill during index creation or rebuild. A lower value leaves more free space but increases the number of pages required; a higher value uses less space but may fragment the index.
