What is the basic difference between clustered and a
non-clustered index?

Answer Posted / geeta

clustered index is an index that sorts and stores the data
rows in the tables based on their key values.the data is
physically sorted in the table when clustered index is
defined on it. only one clustered index is created per
table.
In Nonclustered index contains the indx key values and the
row locators that point the storage location of the data in
a table. there can be as many as 249 nonclustered indexs
per table.
