Are primary keys indexed by default Postgres?

The default value of the Fill Factor is 100, which is same as value 0. The default Fill Factor (100 or 0) will allow the SQL Server to fill the leaf-level pages of an index with the maximum numbers of the rows it can fit.

Are primary keys indexed by default?

A primary key index is created by default when a table is created with a primary key specified. Note that if the index is a composite index, the filter expressions employed must reference all of the primary key columns to take advantage of the performance gains of the index.

When to set fillfactor to 90% in SQL Server?

When you create or rebuild an index, you can tell SQL Server what percentage of each 8K data page used in the “leaf” level of the index it should fill up. In other words, if you set a 90% fillfactor when you rebuild a clustered index, SQL Server will try to leave 10% of each leaf page empty.

When does an index need to be filled up?

When an index is created or rebuilt the leaf level pages are written to the level where the pages are filled up to the fill factor value and the remainder of the page is left blank for future usage. This is the case when a value other than 0 or 100 is specified.
