Just to answer your first question- Yes we can see the value of the current Fill Factor by the following query:

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) AS ‘Table/View’
,name AS ‘Index Name’
,index_id AS ‘ID of Index’
,fill_factor AS ‘Current Fill Factor’
FROM sys.indexes

From SQL Server 2005 and above you can use DMF- sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats to get all the information about your indexes..

I hope that helps.

Thanks

is there a way to know what value to set the fill factor ??
is there a way to know how much a table is used using T-SQL ??

If you are retreiving all records then defragmention of clustered index is enough. For the best use of any index, besides defragmentation it’s statistics should also have updated.

I have a table which contains 21155716 rows. currently, it takes more than 45 minutes to retrieve data while adding WITH(NOLOCK) on a table.

I did rebuild and reorganize indexes, and also I have set up fillfactors to 90% on indexes. Is there any other thing, I should look into improve the performance on the table. Please let me know.

Thank you for all your help!
Kena
