Maximum rows per page

Optionally, to override the default assigned by Adaptive Server for the maximum number of index rows to store on a leaf level page, enter a number in the Maximum Rows Per Page box. This option is mutually exclusive with the Fill Factor option. Also, unlike the Fill Factor option, you can change the Maximum Rows Per Page value at any time.

The default value, 0, causes Adaptive Server to create clustered indexes with full pages and nonclustered indexes with full leaf pages.

For a clustered index, values between 0 and 256 are valid. For a nonclustered index, the largest allowable Maximum Rows Per Page value depends on the size of the index key. To approximate the largest allowable value, subtract 32 from the page size and divide the resulting number by the index key size.
