  • I run this query on my database.

    Most of the result are : PK_ ... ?

    Why?

    (note that in all our tables , we insert an id column - identical - that is pk and clustered index. and Unrelated to business)

    What do I do now?

    change cluster? delete cluster?

    I presume that you aren't really talking about clusters, but clustered indexes. Deleting a cluster is quite a radical solution.

    Can you post a sample create table script for one of these?

    Those are probably the indexes enforcing the primary keys.

    What do I do now?

    change cluster? delete cluster?

    Why do you think you need to do anything?

  • Because I read somewhere , PK and Clustered index, can be separate (These two do not necessarily Be one thing)

    And it's better that clustered index related to Bussiness and on a benefit field that use in queries.

    They can be, yes.

    Maybe, maybe not. Depends on queries, tables and a whole lot more. Changing a clustered index requires a huge amount of testing first. It's not something you do without analysis and testing first.
