dear ann,

by your message i understand you agree that it's a good thing to consolidate the table ?

> Why not use a 16K page?

i need first to do test ... 16k pages use Twice more memory, and in the database their is around 500 different tables, not sure all of them will like the 16k ... as far as i see now in the few test i have done it's that 16k is always better or very similar to 8k in speed ... i thing i will first double the memory of the server before to do that
