Answer / ramesh.p
The difference between a clustered index and a non-
clustered index is that when you use a clustered index, the
section of the table that comprises the index has its data
pages linked differently from those data pages comprising a
non-clustered index.

Answer / 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.

Answer / vikas kant
Clustered index is a special type of index that reorders
the way in which the data is pysically stored in table.A
table can have just 1 clustered index.leaf nodes of a
clustered index contains the datapages.
Non clusterd index is also a special type of index in which
the logical order of the index doesnt match physical stored
rows on the disk.A table can have multiple indexes probably
(16).

Answer / anjan ghosh
when we create index then we assign a primary or unique
field , after insert of records , the results is
clustered--(field) order by
nonclustered--no order(logical order)
create table nonclusterindex(Emid int,data varchar(800))
create table clusterindex(Emid int,data varchar(800))
create unique nonclustered index nonclusterindex_emid on
nonclusterindex (Emid)
create unique clustered index clusterindex_emid on
clusterindex (Emid)
