Why can there be only one clustered index and not more than one?



Why can there be only one clustered index and not more than one?..

Answer / Vipul Agrawal

In SQL Server, a table can have only one clustered index because a clustered index determines the physical order of data in the table. When multiple clustered indexes are created on a table, it leads to fragmentation and impacts performance. By allowing only one clustered index per table, SQL Server ensures that data is organized efficiently.n
