A primary index is an index on a set of fields that includes
the unique primary
key for the field and is guaranteed not to contain
duplicates. A secondary index
is an index that is not a primary index and may have
duplicates. Two entries are
said to be duplicates if they have the same value for the
search key field associated
with the index.

Answer / 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.

Answer / sanjib sarkar

Index is a set of <KEY,ADDRESS> pair. Now in the case of
Primary Index both keys and addresses of the records are

the case of Secondary Index only the addresses of the
records are kept in the index not the key.

in back side of some book.
5.In the case of
Primary Index both keys and addresses of the records are
kept in order to search a particular record faster. In the case of Secondary Index only the addresses of the
records are kept in the index not the key.
6.There can be only one primary index. There can be many secondary indices.
