Can Somebody tell me the difference between Clustered & Non-
Clustered Index??

Answer Posted / vijaya

In Clustered Index, the data is physically sorted.
only one Clustered Index is created per table.
The data is stored in heap level of the B-tree.

In non-clustered Index, the physical order of the rows is
not same as the order of index.
there can be upto 249 non-clustered index per table.
the data is present in the random order but the logical
ordering is specified by the index.
