what is clustered and non clustered index and their types
Clustered : indexing, physically re-arranges the data as per the index.
Non-Clustered : indexing, keeps track of the data (like pointers in c) as per the index. no physical arrangement is done.

Insert or update on indexed column are more costly if table has clustered index.
