    What can happen if null is not defined?

    If you don't set the NULL option then it will be nullable.

    create table Test1 (

  • RE: Indexes - Clustered indexed column included in a nonclustered index

    All clustered keys must appear in all nonclustered indexes. If you don't explicitly specify them, SQL will add them automatically.

  • RE: disc read latency for mdf/ndf data files

    Generally, you prefer 10ms or less, although up to 20ms is ok. Anything over that is poor and progressively getting worse, of course.
