Hi All,

If we create a non-clustered index on a table which already has a clustered index, does the storage architecture change in any way?

I am a little confused about Clustered & non-clustered index. can anybody please suggest me an exhaustive link for this.

TIA :)

A clustered index changes the way the data is stored, a non-clustered index does not. For more detail check out books online and this is a good resource:

Also FYI, this is not the right place for the question, clustering in a high availability sense is a very different thing then a clustered index.
