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
