I didn’t understand Clustering. Can you give me a url of basic guide to clustering?

I’m SQL junks.

How do I decide or select the columns that I need to indexing?

Is that any best practice?

Please help and advice.

Thanks,

Many people talk about index’s but dont tell others how simple it is to create them

1) Just right click a table

2) Select Indexces/keys

3) Click add

4) use the dropdown hence to create index on a column you are using in the query

5) add index to all the columns used in query by clicking
add button

Yes we can have multiple .mdf or .ldf files (we can have even different extensions)
Just Right Click on DB goto Properties and click on Files Options… from here you can add different log and data files

You can also restrict the size of each chunk you created
Hope u got it

Very correct. In fact I think what you said really goes well with this post.

I will create example of the same with due credit to you and will post in new blog post.

For example, say that you create a table with a clustered index and five nonclustered indexes all in the primary filegroup. If you drop that clustered index and create a new clustered index on a new filegroup, the table will move over to it – but the five nonclustered indexes won’t.
