Difference between Cluster and Non-cluster index?
Answer Posted / prakash
Cluster index :-
1) CLUSTERED INDEX IS PHYSICALLY STORED THE DATA.
2)ONE TABLE CAN HAVE ONLY ONE CLUSTERED INDEX
BECAUSE IT STORED IN ORDER OF THE CLUSTERED KEY.
3)CREATING A CLUSTERED INDEX ON A TABLE RE-ARRANGES
THE DATA IN A SEQUENTIAL MANNER
4)ONCE WE DEFINED A COLUMN WITH PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT, SQL
SERVER AUTOMATICALLY CREATES UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX ON THAT
COLUMN
5) THE LEAF LEVEL OF A CLUSTERED INDEX IS THE ACTUAL
DATA
__________________________________________________________
NON-CLUSTERED INDEX:-
1)NON- CLUSTERED INDEX IS LOGICALLY STORED DATA.
2) ONE TABLE CAN HAVE 249 NON- CLUTTERED INDEX IN SERVER-2005
AND 999 IN SERVER-2008
3)NON-CLUSTERED INDEX IS CREATED ON A TABLE, THE DATA IS NOT
PHYSICALLY
RE-ARRANGED IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER.
4)ONCE WE DEFINED A COLUMN WITH UNIQUE KEY CONSTRAIN , SQL
SERVER AUTOMATICALLY CREATE NON CLUSTERED INDEX.
5) NON-CLUSTERED INDEX THE LEAF LEVEL IS
ACTUALLY A POINTER TO THE DATA IN ROWS
