What is the difference between clustered and a non-clustered index?

Answer Posted / Ravi Rao Gautam

A clustered index determines the physical ordering of data in a table, while a non-clustered index stores the indexed columns and a reference to the location of the corresponding row in the clustered index or table. Each table can only have one clustered index, but multiple non-clustered indexes.
