What is Join Index in TD and How it works?

Answer Posted / rashid equbal

Join Index is nothing but pre-joning 2 or more tables or
views which are commonly joined in order to reduce the
joining overhead.
So teradata usdes the join index instead of resolving the
joins in the participating base tables.
They increase the efficiency and performance of join
queries.
They can have different primary indexes than the base tables
and also are automatically updated as and when the base rows
are updated. they can have repeating values.

There are 3 types of join indexes:
1) Single table join index - here the rows are distributed
based on the foreign key hash value of the base table.
2) Multi table join index - joining two tables.
3) Aggregate join index - performing the aggregates but
only sum and count.
