Hi Vineet A clustered index is a special type of index that reorders the way records in the table are physically stored. Therefore table can have only one clustered index. The leaf nodes of a clustered index contain the data pages. A non clustered index is a special type of index in which the logical order of the index does not match the physical stored order of the rows on disk. The leaf node of a non clustered index does not consist of the data pages. Instead the leaf nodes contain index rows. For example refer http://www.codeproject.com/KB/reporting-services/indexing.aspx Thanks
