What is a clustered and non clustered index?
Clustered and Non-clustered index are the types of single-level ordering index where clustered index determines how the data is stored in the rows of a table. On the other hand, the non-clustered index stores the data at a single place and the indexes are stored at another place.
What is the non clustered index?
A non-clustered index (or regular b-tree index) is an index where the order of the rows does not match the physical order of the actual data. It is instead ordered by the columns that make up the index. In a non-clustered index, the leaf pages of the index do not contain any actual data, but instead contain pointers to the actual data.
