RE: what is a cluster and what is the real time use and business reasons to use Clustering

Clustering is a method of storing tables that are intimately related and often joined together into the same area on disk. For example instead of the BOOKSHELF table being in one section of the disk and the BOOKSHELF_AUTHOR table being somewhere else their rows could be interleaved together in a single area called a cluster. The cluster key is the column or columns by which the tables are usually joined in a query (for example Title for the BOOKSHELF and

BOOKSHELF_AUTHOR tables).
