Good to hear from you. This new sampling happened after a creation on SQL Server 2012, correct.
For non-partitioned clustered index, I haven’t test that but I don’t think that should have changed. Only partitioning.
Regarding rebuilds – good question, and I didn’t test that (yet). 🙂
]]>Quick confirmation – this was the sample after you simply CREATED the index, right? Have you seen the same behavior when you create a non-partitioned clustered index? And…if you rebuild the index, does it sample at 100%? BTW, I can test this all 🙂 Just wondered if you had already.
Thanks!
