Ins/Upd Requiring Maint

The data in this section gives information about how insert and update operations affect indexes on allpages-locked tables. For example, an insert to a clustered table with three nonclustered indexes requires updates to all three indexes, so the average number of operations that resulted in maintenance to nonclustered indexes is three.

However, an update to the same table may require only one maintenance operation—to the index for which key value was changed.

For data-only-locked tables, inserts are reported in “Ins/Upd Requiring Maint,” and deletes and inserts are reported in “Upd/Del DOL Req Maint.”
