Hi,
we can create only one clustered index for a table
fyi if you create a primary key automatically clustered index will be created for that column
Non clustered index can be multiple

for more information on this please see the url

Yes we can create ONLY ONE clustered index on a single table. By default Primary key will create clustered index on the primary key columns. If you wish to create non-clustered index on primary key (PK) column you should mention PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED clause while PK creation.

By the way you can create more than one nonclustered indexes on a single table.

Hi,

In a table you can able to create only one clustered index.
Similallarly in sql 2005 you can able to create 249 non-clustered indexes and in s1l -2008 you can able to create 999 non- clustered indexes.
