A Non-clustered index stores the data at one location and indices at another location. The index contains pointers to the location of that data. A single table can have many non-clustered indexes as an index in the non-clustered index is stored in different places.
For example, a book can have more than one index, one at the beginning which displays the contents of a book unit wise while the second index shows the index of terms in alphabetical order.
A non-clustering index is defined in the non-ordering field of the table. This type of indexing method helps you to improve the performance of queries that use keys which are not assigned as a primary key. A non-clustered index allows you to add a unique key for a table.
