Re: Question about sysindexes.clust

In Response To: Re: Question about sysindexes.clust (Richard Snoke)

I will try to copy this data in. The read ahead isn't 100% but never drops
below 99.99%

The following are the different run times, the calulcated BTR, Read Ahead
Utilization, and Buffer Wait Ratio. The 9 hour run is the only bad run this
in this data set. The good runs are all after basicly clustering the data.

Runtime 5:47 9:54 4:56 4:45 4:50 4:46 BTR 7.46823 4.27814
8.56996 8.90136 8.74626 8.900555 RAU 99.9938% 99.9946% 99.9947% 99.9948%
99.9947% 99.9938% BR 0.6950% 0.4281% 0.3898% 0.3953% 0.3885% 0.3883%
