Subj:   Re: Join index successes?
 
From:   Mirjam Berger

Yvonne,

I think you got this error message because your user does not have PERM SPACE. A join index - just like any of the other NCR indices - is implemented as a second table (which explain the overhead you get upon loading, etc).

You should be able to use SUM & COUNT as join indices are Teradatas answer to Oracles materialized views - basically aggregate tables that maintain themselves as they will automatically reflect the changes in the underlying tables.

(Don't know about rank & case though...)

All, when I first experimented with join indexes in the very frist version of V2R4 we began to have problems with our database randomly creating crashdumps & needing to be restarted. The problems subsided after we stopped using JI. (No formal relationship between those events had been established - so it might have been a coincidence - but obviously the shop I was at was very reluctant to ever try JI again...) Can anybody speak to if they experienced similar problems? - or testify that they didn't? (Maybe in addition with the Version they are running on).

Also, is there some sort of formula that helps you determine the overhead in space & load-time that you get from adding a join index?

Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Mirjam
