The calculated row size (61 bytes) differs from the true row storage size (60 bytes) by the extra one byte of internal metadata present in the insert stream. spt_values AS SV ; Plan Caching. The DMLRequestSort property is saved as part of the cached plan. Calculated data size = 61 bytes * 268 rows = 16,348 bytes. Trace Flag.
