What is the difference between a primary index and a
secondary index? What is a duplicate data entry in an index?
Can a primary index contain duplicates?

Answer Posted / roshan jha

The index in which the sort order of a search key is similar
to the sort order of a relation then the index is called
primary index.Ex.front index of the book.
While in secondary index the order of the search key is in
different order from the order of the key in file.eg.index
in back side of some book.
Two entries are said to be duplicate if have same
value for the search key field associated.primary index
doesnot have duplicates.
