Actually we have two types of primary index in teradata
1.Unique Primary Index and
2.Non unique primary index
unique primary index are generated on the unique columns
and by default it will take the first column if you have
not specified it as unique primary index.
In non unique primary index we can have two rows with same
values.
But the main purpose of selecting a column as primary index
is the uniqueness of the column and the frquency of the
column used in the queries and in the join conditions.
