Local Fix: | |
Determine compression benefit from other compression statistics PCTROWSCOMPRESSED and AVGROWCOMPRESSIONRATIO. If PCTPAGESSAVED is 0 after an index-only RUNSTATS operation, collect statistics again, ensuring to collect statistics for the table as well as its indexes, for example: RUNSTATS ON TABLE s.t AND INDEXES ALL | |
