- 4. Clustered Indexes What are they? • Sort Order of the data within the table • One per table 3
- 5. Clustered Indexes Desired Qualities • Increasing • Static • Narrow Data Type • Unique 4
- 6. Clustered Indexes Increasing • Data is added to the end of the index • Reduces fragmentation 5
- 7. Clustered Indexes Static • Changes cause… • Fragmentation • Additional overhead for Non Clustered Indexes 6
- 8. Clustered Indexes Narrow Data Type • Less Data Duplicated • Smaller… • Databases • Backups • Maintenance Plan Times • Scans 7
- 9. Clustered Indexes Unique • Not Required • Prevents Uniqueifier • Best to be narrow! 8
- 10. Clustered Indexes Demos • No Clustered Index (Heap) • Non Unique Clustered Index • Unique Clustered Index 9
- 11. Non Clustered Indexes • What are they? • Why are they useful? • When are they not useful? 10
- 12. Non Clustered Indexes What are they? 11 Clustered Index Non Clustered Index
- 13. Non Clustered Indexes Why are they useful? • Smaller than table itself • Seek vs Scan 12 SELECT COUNT(*) FROM addressbook WHERE phone LIKE '707942%'
- 14. Non Clustered Indexes When are they not useful? • When too many rows are returned and all the columns needed for the query are not present in the nonclustered index • Extra work for SQL regarding inserts, updates and deletes 13
