<h1 class="topictitle1">Indexes with partitioned tables</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Indexes can be created as partitioned or nonpartitioned. A partitioned
|
|
index creates an individual index for each partition. A nonpartitioned index
|
|
is a single index spanning all partitions of the table.</p>
|
|
<p>Partitioned indexes allow you to take advantage of improved optimization
|
|
of queries. If a unique index is partitioned, columns specified in the index
|
|
must be the same or a superset of the data partition key.</p>
|
|
<p>Use the CREATE INDEX statement to create indexes on partitioned tables.
|
|
To create an index for each partition, use the <samp class="codeph">PARTITIONED</samp> clause.</p>
|
|
<pre>CREATE INDEX PRODLIB.SAMPLEINDEX
|
|
ON PRODLIB.PAYROLL(EMPNUM) PARTITIONED</pre>
|
|
<p>To create a single index that spans all partitions, use the <samp class="codeph">NOT
|
|
PARTITIONED</samp> clause.</p>
|
|
<pre>CREATE INDEX PRODLIB.SAMPLEINDEX
|
|
ON PRODLIB.PAYROLL(EMPNUM) NOT PARTITIONED</pre>
|
|
<p>You can only create a partitioned Encoded Vector Index (EVI) over a partitioned
|
|
table. You cannot create a nonpartitioned EVI over a partitioned table.</p>
|
|
<p>See the CREATE INDEX statement in the SQL Reference topic for more information
|
|
about creating indexes for partitioned tables.</p>
|
|
<p>When creating an SQL unique index, unique constraint, or primary key constraint
|
|
for a partitioned table, the following restrictions apply:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>An index can be partitioned if the keys of the unique index are the same
|
|
or a superset of the partitioned keys.</li>
|
|
<li>If a unique index is created with the default value of NOT PARTITIONED,
|
|
and the keys of the unique index are a superset of the partitioned keys, the
|
|
unique index is created as partitioned. If, however, the user explicitly specifies
|
|
NOT PARTITIONED, and the keys of the unique index are a superset of the partitioned
|
|
keys, the unique index is created as <strong>not</strong> partitioned.</li>
|
|
</ul>
