FIX: Existing Fill Factor Changed w/ Rebuild of Clustered Index (165560)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 6.5

This article was previously published under Q165560
BUG #: 16418 (6.5)

SYMPTOMS

After rebuilding the clustered index, Sysindexes.OrigFillFactor for all the existing non-clustered indexes on a table gets overwritten to that of the clustered index OrigFillFactor value.

This happens only when the index is rebuilt using the "DBCC DBREINDEX" routine.

WORKAROUND

When rebuilding the clustered index, avoid using DBCC DBREINDEX, and instead use the ANSI SQL commands DROP INDEX and CREATE INDEX.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
