Just one add, for MDC with XML, the clustering columns are still relational, the XML can be “payload” of MDC. In this case, you also have inlined and non-inlined. In inlined case, the XML data will be sitting inside MDC cells, thus enjoys the benefit of clustering during I/O fetch. If XML is not inlined, then they will sit in XDA, with references in MDC cells. In this case, impact to relational MDC is minimized.
