Hi, I unexpectedly came across this blog. Really awesome post — it helped me understand something I was unaware of. Thank you so much! Also, if anyone is looking for business cards printing in Dubai, this site might be helpful.
A table can have only one clustered index because the data rows themselves can be sorted in only one order. 11winner Login
In Microsoft SQL Server, there are two primary types of indexes: clustered and non-clustered. A clustered index organizes the actual physical order of data in a table based on a chosen column, typically the primary key. However, each table can have only one clustered index. Clustered indexes are best suited for operations like sorting and range-based queries since they determine the physical data order. On the other hand, non-clustered indexes are separate structures that contain a copy of indexed columns along with pointers to the corresponding rows in the table. Tables can have multiple non-clustered indexes, and they are particularly useful for speeding up queries that involve specific columns or combinations of columns, enhancing query performance and efficiency.
