www.OnBarcode.com After SQL Server nds the new page, the original page must be split; half the rows (the rst half based on the slot array on the page) are left on the original page, and the other half are moved to the new page (or as close to a 50/50 split as possible). In some cases, SQL Server nds that even after the split, there s not enough room for the new row, which, because of variable-length elds, could potentially be much larger than any of the existing rows on the pages. As part of the split, SQL Server must add a corresponding entry for every new page into the parent page of the level above. One row is added if only a single split is needed. However, if the new row still won t t after a single split, there can be potentially multiple new pages and multiple additions to the parent page. For example, consider a page with 32 rows on it. Suppose that SQL Server tries to insert a new row with 8,000 bytes. It splits the page once, and the new 8,000-byte row won t t. Even after a second split, the new row won t t. Eventually, SQL Server recognizes that the new row cannot t on a page with any other rows, and it allocates a new page to hold only the new row. Quite a few splits occur, resulting in many new pages, and many new rows on the parent page. An index tree is always searched from the root down, so during an INSERT operation, it is split on the way down. This means that while the index is being searched on an INSERT, the index is protected in anticipation of possibly being updated. The protection mechanism is a latch, which you can think of as something like a lock. (Locks are discussed in detail in 10.)

www.OnBarcode.com A latch is acquired while a page is being read from or written to disk and protects the physical integrity of the contents of the page. A parent node is latched (and protected) until the child node s needed split(s) are complete and no further updates to the parent node are required from the current operation. Then the parent latch can be released safely. Before the latch on a parent node is released, SQL Server determines whether the page can accommodate another two rows; if not, it splits the page. This occurs only if the page is being searched with the objective of adding a row to the index. The goal is to ensure that the parent page always has room for the row or rows that result from a child page splitting. (Occasionally, this results in pages being split that don t need to be at least not yet. In the long run, it s a performance optimization that helps to minimize deadlocks in an index and allows for free space to be added for future rows that may require it.) The type of split depends on the type of page being split: a root page of an index, an intermediate index page, or a leaf-level page. And, when a split occurs, it is committed independently of the transaction that caused the page to split (using special internal transactions called system transactions). Therefore, even if the INSERT transaction is rolled back, the split is not rolled back.

www.OnBarcode.com If the root page of an index needs to be split for a new index row to be inserted, two new pages are allocated to the index. All the rows from the root are split between these two new pages, and the new index row is inserted into the appropriate place on one of these pages. The original root page is still the root, but now it has only two rows on it, pointing to each of the newly allocated pages. Keeping the original root page means that an update to the index metadata in the system catalogs (that contains a pointer to the index root page) is avoided. A root page split creates a new level in the index. Because indexes are usually only a few levels deep and typically very scalable, this type of split doesn t occur often.
