An existing sales catalog database structure exists on a system in your company. The company sells inventory from a single warehouse location that is across town from where the computer systems are located. The product table has been created with a nonclustered index, based on the product ID, which is also the primary key. Nonclustered indexes exist on the product category column and also the storage location column. Most of the reporting done is ordered by storage location. How would you change the existing index structure?

technology databases

  1. Change the definition of the primary key so that it is a clustered index.

  2. Create a new clustered index, based on the combination of storage location and product category.

  3. Change the definition of the product category so that it is a clustered index.

  4. Change the definition of the storage location so that it is a clustered index.

You are preparing a new index on a table that has 1,500 rows. 10 rows are added to this table every day. The table already has a primary key, and the new index does not represent the order in which data in the table is to be stored. Updates to the table occur periodically but are infrequent. Which type of index would you create under this situation?

technology databases

  1. Use a clustered index with a high FILLFACTOR setting

  2. Use a clustered index with a low FILLFACTOR setting

  3. Use a nonclustered index with a high FILLFACTOR setting

  4. Use a nonclustered index with a low FILLFACTOR setting
