Perform Index Operations Online


Here we will 
1. Create a clustered index on the PRIMARY filegroup if the index does not exist
2 Verify filegroup location of the clustered index.
3 Create filegroup NewGroup if it does not exist.
4 Verify new filegroup
5.
-- Drop the clustered index and move the BillOfMaterials table to
-- the Newgroup filegroup. -- Set ONLINE = OFF to execute this example on editions other than Enterprise Edition.
6.
-- Verify filegroup location of the moved table.
