CLUSTERED INDEX | SQL Server
A CLUSTERED INDEX in SQL Server sorts and stores the data rows of a table based on the indexed column's order. Unlike non-clustered indexes, a table can only have one clustered index, as the data rows themselves are stored in the order of this index. It’s crucial for optimizing query performance, especially in searches and range queries, as it provides faster data retrieval by physically ordering the table's data.
