If you have a foreign key constraint defined that references a Primary Key column of the parent table, how does Teradata do the lookup at the Parent table to check for existence of a Parent row before inserting a new row into the Child table?

Does it use the PK index or does it do a full table scan? Any information on this is appreciated. I couldn't find much in the documentation on what approach does Teradata take.

Thanks!
