It just marks it to use that index if/when it is clustered, it doesn't do the 
clustering.


Cheers,

That's what I thought because I just went through this exercise for another 
table which was previously clustered.  The correlation on the column for the 
index was 1.  After I did the drop index, insert data, create index with the 
cluster command the correlation was <1.

Thanks for the clarification.

Bob
