Hi i have table AUTO.Every week this will get inserted and deleted the records(3 lakhs).After insertion i need to update(takes 25 minutes) based on requirement on this table. iN where condition i use only two columns.For that columns can i created nonclustered index??? bulk insert and deleting will take moretime if add this index ???
If i add Non cluster will it improve performance ?

How unique are those two columns? Adding non clustered index can help but it can slow down the bulk inserts. Its a tradeoff and you have to make the call. I assume your bulk inerts happen during off hours? if so then you can trade off a slight performane for faster queries during the day for your users.
