SUMMARY
If there are duplicate rows in the table, the query
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX index_name
ON table_name
WITH SORTED_DATA
will fail and the following error message will appear:
Some users may want to use allow_dup_row combined with sorted_data options to workaround this problem. However, it will still fail with the same error message.
To work around this problem, use the following query:
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX index_name
ON table_name
WITH ALLOW_DUP_ROW
MORE INFORMATION
The description for SORTED_DATA in the "Language Reference" manual includes the following:
It verifies that the data has indeed been sorted by checking each
index value to see if it is higher than the previous one.
Additional query words: create clustered index
