Hi All, I want to give some more light on this by analysing more like this
1. In my example I have created a table with one column as INT( which occupies 4 bytes) 2. Initially it occupies one page of space on the file that is (8kb). So, here is it assuming these many rows may fit in this page. Clarify me on this Please.
