BUG #: 351441 (SHILOH_bugs)



SYMPTOMS
A DBCC DBREINDEX (table, index, 0) statement changes the original fillfactor in the sysindexes table to 0 and does not leave it as originally defined, as stated in SQL Server 2000 Books Online.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SQL Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

290211 INF: How to Obtain the Latest SQL Server 2000 Service Pack



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
 * Implement specific rebuilds per index, specifying the required fillfactor rather than using fillfactor 0.
 * Do not give the fillfactor parameter in the DBCC DBREINDEX statement; DBCC will then keep the original one.
 * If you are using the Database Maintenance Plan Wizard, instead of using the Reorganize Pages with the Original Amount of Free Space option, choose the Change Free Space Per Page Percentage to option and specify the original one. However, this second option does not let you specify values of 0 or 100.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SQL Server 2000. This problem was first corrected in SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1.
