Do all of your tables contain clustered indexes? Some say every table should have a clustered index. Others say it depends. When databases are being designed and developed, your developers might have overlooked creating clustered indexes on some of your database tables.

Here is a simple script to identify those tables in your database that don’t have a clustered index.
-- Tables without clustered indexes SELECT TOP 1000 o.name, i.type_desc, o.type_desc, o.create_date FROM sys.indexes i INNER JOIN sys.objects o ON i.object_id = o.object_id WHERE o.type_desc = 'USER_TABLE' AND i.type_desc = 'HEAP' ORDER BY o.name; GO
