• I disagree with you completely.

    Every table should have a clustered index, but certainly not on 'a random column'. The column has to be carefully chosen. That's irrelevant to this question though, there is no index useful for the query you posted, therefore it's useless to create any index for this particular query.

    Oh, and heap means no clustered index, not no indexes at all.
