clustered-index

Part-time reluctant DBA here. I want to change an existing primary key index from clustered to non-clustered. And the syntax is escaping me.

This is how it's scripted out right now.

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Config] WITH NOCHECK ADD 
    CONSTRAINT [PK_Config] PRIMARY KEY  CLUSTERED 
    (
        [ConfigID]
    )  ON [PRIMARY]

I am not seeing an ALTER CONSTRAINT statement in the online docs.
