What are difference between Cluster index and Non-Cluster index?..

Answer / Kavi Raj Singh

{"Cluster Index": "A cluster index in SQL Server is a type of index that not only stores the data for the indexed column but also reorders the data in the table itself. The first field specified by the cluster key determines the physical order of the records in the table.","Non-Cluster Index": "On the other hand, Non-Cluster index (also known as a regular index) does not sort the records in the table. It only creates an additional structure containing the indexed column values along with pointers to the actual data rows."
