What are the type of Indexes? which one is best, why?

Answer Posted / jeff jordan

1) Clustered Index
2) Non-Clustered Index

I'm assuming by "which one is best" we mean which has the
faster look ups. This would be the clustered index since it
is the physical ordering of the rows and the non-clustered
index is like a lookup table. With the clustered index one
you've found the index you've found your row...
