How to find out SQL Server table's read/write statistics?

Question

Is there a way to find a statistics on table read and write count on SQL Server 2005/2008?

I am specifically looking for DMVs/DMFs without using triggers or audits.

The goal here is to find out appropriate fill factor for indexes - got an idea from this article (Fill Factor Defined).

How to determine Read/Write intensive table from DMV/DMF statistics

Answer 1

• sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (size and fragmentation)
• sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats (usage, number of scans/seeks/updates etc)
• sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats (current activity on index)

Remember 'table' means the clustered index or the 'heap'.
