Korth says:
"A file may have several indices, on different search keys. If the
file containing the records is sequentially ordered, a clustering index is an index whose search key also defines the sequential order of the file. Clustering indices are also called primary indices; the term primary index may appear to denote an index on a primary key, but such indices can in fact be built on any search key. The search key of a clustering index is often the primary key, although that is not necessarily so."
Further it says:
"In a dense index, an index entry appears for every search-key
value in the file. In a dense clustering index, the index record contains the search-key value and a pointer to the first data record with that search-key value. The rest of the recordswith the same search-key valuewould be stored sequentially after the first record, since, because the index is a clustering one, records are sorted on the same search key."
So what you want to conclude from this and what Elamasri Navathe says?
