What is the basic difference between clustered and a
non-clustered index?
Answer Posted / rajesh
I am explaining you with an example, The Telephone
Directory is a fine example of Clustered Index as data and
index are at the same page, whereas index in the back side
of the book is a fine example of non-clustered index and
non-clustered index is a fast B-tree structure as index
just points to the data page. Also only one clustered index
is possible per table and 249 non-clustered index per table.
