Clustered Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The Clustered property reports index clustering on Microsoft SQL Server primary keys.

Syntax


            object
            .Clustered [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    TRUE or FALSE

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read/write before the SQL Server primary key is created. Read-only if the Key object references an existing primary key.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetClustered(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetClustered(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

The Clustered property has meaning if the Key object references a SQL Server table primary key. If the Key object references a foreign key, the value is always FALSE.

If TRUE, the referenced primary key either has, or will be created with, a clustered index supporting it.

If FALSE, the referenced primary key has, or will be created with, a nonclustered index. The default for new Key objects is FALSE.
