Getting all table’s indexes in Teradata Studio is not quite a straightforward process. Therefore it’s always handy to have a query to DBC database available:
SELECT ind.* FROM dbc.indices ind WHERE ind.tablename = 'CUSTOMER_TB' AND ind.databasename = 'SALES_DB' ;
indextype column represents the index’s type. As some values’ meaning might not be obvious, refer to the following table:
| indextype | description |
|---|---|
| P | Nonpartitioned Primary Index |
| Q | Partitioned Primary Index |
| S | Secondary Index |
| J | Join Index |
| N | Hash Index |
| K | Primary Key |
| U | Unique Constraint |
| V | VONUSI – Value Ordered Nonunique Secondary Index |
| H | Hash Ordered ALL Covering Secondary Index |
| O | Value Ordered ALL Covering Secondary Index |
| I | Ordering Column of a Composite Secondary Index |
| 1 | Field 1 Column of a Join/Hash Index |
| N | Field N Column of a Join/Hash Index |
