Author Index Wizard Non-Cluster/Cluster Indexes
Joe K.

2005-11-13, 8:23 pm


I have primary key that is increasing integer value on a SQL Server 2000
database.

Is it more efficient to make this a Cluster or Non-Cluster index?

How many trips to the disk does it take to retreive data from a cluster or
non-cluster index?

Are there 3rd party packages that do a good job evaluating cluster and
non-cluster indexes?

Thank You,

Hi

Have a look at
http://www.sql-server-performance.c...
ures.asp


The number of IO requests that need to be done depends on what you are doing
and what your table structure look like.
