|||Hello
A little hard to tell exactly what you are after. It could be you think you
have some fragmentation on a table.
Try running DBCC SHOWCONTIG against the table. As a rough guide if your scan
density is low and your scan fragmentation is high you should rebuild your
table. The easiest way to do this is to rebuild the clustered index on the
table. If the table does not have a clustered index, you can create one and
then drop it.
If that is your problem it may be worth creating a job to do this on a
regular basis.
See BOL for more details.
Hope this helps
