To set the expected row size
Expected row size reserves space for rows to grow after original insertion. It can reduce row forwarding in data-only-locked tables. It is useful when rows contain null values or short variable-length fields at original insertion but grow in length with subsequent updates. The expected row size does not apply to allpages-locked tables, so it is dimmed on the property sheet for those tables. When you convert an allpages-locked table to a data-only-locked table, if expected row size is not set but maximum rows per page is set, the maximum rows per page value is converted to an expected row size value.
- Open the table property sheet.
- Click the Locking tab.
- Edit the expected row size.
Valid values for expected row size are:
- Number of bytes - the minimum value is the sum of all fixed-length columns or 2 bytes, whichever is greater. The maximum value is the maximum data row length for the table.
- 0 - this is the default value. Specifies that expected row size should be calculated using the server-wide configuration parameter default exp_row_size percent.
- 1 - specifies fully-packed pages. No room is reserved for expanding rows.
