The document discusses indexes in SQL Server and their types. It explains that indexes are used to improve the speed of retrieving data from tables by ordering the records. The main types are clustered and non-clustered indexes. A clustered index physically reorders the table based on the indexed column, while a non-clustered index logically orders rows without changing the physical order. The document provides syntax examples for creating, dropping, and using different index types on tables.

1. Indexes:
Index is used for faster access of data from table and will show records in the table in ascending
order or descending order. Index in SQLSERVER will works automaticall.there is no need to open or
to close and index.
Types of indexes:
1. Clustered index
2. non-clustered index
Clustered index:
1. A table can contain only one clustered index. If table contains primary key column then on that
column clustered index will work.
2. This index will change the physical order of records in the table based on indexed column.
Non-clustered index:
1. A table can contain 249 non-clustered indexes.
2. If table contains uni-constraints then on that column non clustered index will work.it will not
change the physical order of records in the table but with the help of reference (book index & index
key) of the table.
3. it will show the records in ascending or descending order.
SYNTAX:
CREATE[UNIQUE][CLUSTERED/NON-CLUSTERED]
INDEX<INDEX_NAME>
ON<TABLE_NAME>(<COLUMN_NAME>[DESC])
TO DELETE INDEX:
DROP INDEX<TABLE_NAME><INDEX_NAME>
CLUSTERED INDEX:
CREATE CLUSTEREDINDEX MYINDEX1
ON EMPLOYEE(ENO)
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE
(ENO WILL BE IN ASCENDING ORDER)

2. DROP INDEX EMPLOYEE.MYINDEX1
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE
(ENO WILL BE IN ASCENDING ORDER)
NON-CLUSTERED INDEX:
CREATE NONCLUSTEREDINDEX MYINDEX2
ON EMPLIST (ENO)
INCLUDE(ENAME,SAL)
SELECT * FROM EMPLIST
(ENO WILL BE IN ASCENDING ORDER)
DROP INDEX EMPLIST.MYINDEX2
SELECTR * FROM EMPLIST
(ENO WILL BE IN PREVIOUS ORDER)
MULTIPLE NONCLUSTERED INDEX:
CREATE NONCLUSTEREDINDEX MYINDEX3
ON EMPLOYEE(ENO)
INCLUDE(ENAME,SAL)
CREATE NONCLUSTEREDINDEX MYINDEX4
ON EMPLOYEE(SAL)
INCLUDE(ENAME,SAL)
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE ENO>100
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE SAL>1000
NOTE:
If The Table Contains Multiple Nonclustered Indexes Then Two Conditions Should Be Satisfied
1. Select Statement With Where Clause
2. Indexed Column In Where Clause
