Explain the difference between clustered and non-clustered index?..

Answer / Nitin Rana

A Clustered Index determines the physical order of data in a table, while a Non-Clustered Index stores the indexed columns along with a pointer to the actual data row. A table can have only one Clustered Index, but it can have multiple Non-Clustered Indexes.
