Virtual log file growth In previous versions of SQL Server, if the next growth is more than 1/8 of the current log size, and the growth is less than 64 MB, four VLFs were created. In SQL Server 2022 (16.x), this behavior is slightly different. Only one VLF is created if the grow...
Ordered clustered columnstore index An ordered clustered columnstore index (CCI) sorts the existing data in memory before the index builder compresses the data into index segments. This has the potential of more efficient segment elimination, resulting in better performance as the number of segments ...
What is the difference between Clustered and Non-Clustered Indexes in SQL Server? 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 sing...
A clustered index defines the order in which data is physically stored in a table. Table data can be sorted in only way, therefore, there can be only one clustered index per table. In SQL Server, the primary key constraint automatically creates a clustered index on that particular column....

What is the difference between Clustered and Non-Clustered Indexes in SQL Server? Please explain to me in a simple way with example. I Request you don't send me other links. If you want to answer, please explain in your words and in a simpler way. Thank you...
In the above output, index_id is just an id for the indexes. 1 for Clustered index and the others (2-7) for other non clustered indexes. The object_id for all indexes under a table is same as the object_id for that table.
Always Encrypted: When enabled, only the application that has the encryption key can access the encrypted sensitive data in the SQL Server 2016 database. The key is never passed to SQL Server. Dynamic Data Masking: If specified in the table definition, masked data is hidden from most users,...
(15.x) introduces a new feature that is part of theIn-Memory Databasefeature family, Memory-optimized TempDB metadata, which effectively removes this bottleneck and unlocks a new level of scalability fortempdbheavy workloads. In SQL Server 2019 (15.x), the system tables involved in managing ...
Clustered indexes only sort tables. Therefore, they do not consume extra storage. Non-clustered indexes are stored in a separate place from the actual table claiming more storage space. Clustered indexes are faster than non-clustered indexes since they don’t involve any extra lookup step....
