To be contd... Non-clustered Index(Secondary Indexes): 1. Indexes other than PRIMARY indexes (clustered indexes) called a non-clustered index. 2. It allows accessing secondary data that has pointers to the physical rows. 3. The index is stored in another place and the index have pointers to the storage location of the data. 4. A table can contain one or more than one non-clustered index. 5. Let's Say, you want to retrieve employees by their sales (which is a regular report), then you can use a non clustered index on Sales to retrieve the records quickly. Advantages: 1.

Example: Book,where the content is written in one place, and the index is at a different place Syntax: CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name(column_name); - Study24x7
