>clustered index store the actual data.
>one table can only have one clustered index because
clustered index is the actual table stored in order of the
clustered key.
>usually primary key used as the clusted key,but we can
also take the combinition of first name and last name as a
clustered key.
>printing phone directory is the best example of clustered
index.
-->non-clustered index is just like a pointer to the data.
-->one table can have upto 249 non-clustered indexs because
it has the pointer of actual row.
-->page no.,google search and other search engines used as
a pointer of non-clustered index.
-->the index in the back of a book is the best example of
non-clustered index
