Conclusion From the discussion we find following differences between clustered and non-clustered indexes. There can beonly one clustered index per table. However, you can create multiple non-clustered indexes on a single table. Clustered indexes only sort tables. Therefore, they do not consume extra...
Non clustered indexes store both a value and a pointer to the actual row that holds that value. Clustered indexes don’t need to store a pointer to the actual row because of the fact that the rows in the table are stored on disk in the same exact order as the clustered index – and ...

Clustered vs Nonclustered Indexes in SQL The difference between Clustered and Nonclustered indexin a relational database is one of the most popular SQL interview questions almost as popular as theprimary key vs unique key, thedifference between truncate and delete, andcorrelated vs noncorrelated subq...
Difference between clustered and non-clustered index. Both stored as B-tree structure. The leaf level of a clustered index is the actual data where as leaf level of a non-clustered index is pointer to data. We can have only one clustered index in a table but we can have many non-cluste...

Non-clustered indexes, as I said contain pointers to data pages where rows may be found. They often require more IO during data retrievals than a clustered index would. Sometimes, they require more IO than a table scan would; SQL Server is aware of this, and in such cases, it will usua...
Both clustered and nonclustered indexes can be made up of more than one column. The columns are put in the index in the order you specify them in the CREATE INDEX statement (or the order they are shown in the UI). They are also sorted in this order as well. Indexes are first sorted...
b. By default, a non clustered index will be created unless the CLUSTERED keyword is mentioned, CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX TestIndex ON tbltext (Col1, Col2) Refer the below link to more information about the Clustered and non-clustered index,http://www.sql-programmers.com/sql-...
