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 / nusret sevinc
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.
