STEP BY STEP - 10.1

Creating a clustered index using code

  1. Open the Query Analyzer by selecting Query Analyzer from the Start menu.
  2. Create a new index on a new table. To do this, first create a new table in the Pubs database. In the code pane, type in the following: 
    use Pubs
go
CREATE TABLE IndexPractice
( YourName char(32) NULL,
Age integer NULL,
BirthDate integer NULL )
  3. After creating a new table, create a new clustered index. To do this, code in the following: 
    CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX age_index
ON IndexPractice (age)
  4. To see your new index, open the Query Analyzer, expand the Pubs database in the Object Browser, and then expand User Tables. Expand IndexPractice and then expand Indexes. If you followed the steps properly, you should see age_index listed below Indexes.
