What is Difference b/w PI & PPI?how to implement PPI?

Answer Posted / tdguy

PI is mandatory in TD. Data distribution in TD depends on
PI. The PI more unique, more will be the performance. PPI
is generally used for range processing.TD stores data
within a block based on row id. But PPI stores the rows in
a data block by the value instead of the ROWID. Therefore,
range processing will be faster.
partition by statement is used along with create statement.
range for weeks or months or days can be mentioned by using
interval option.
