    I think the principle issue with misconceptions is that people are using the Table Designer in Management Studio. They "click" they "key" icon which will create the PK as a clustered index. By knowing this and knowing the difference between PK and CL as mentioned above you can still use the "designer" to create/modify your tables, just use"Manage Index and Keys" instead of the "PK" icon.

    Personally I think people should be taught scripting objects first and the fundamental concepts of db design then when using the "designers" and "wizards" they will have a better grasp and will know exactly what they want when designing their objects.

    Somehow this is being lost in the curriculum of where ever people are learning about database concepts.
