What are types of PARTITION PRIMARY INDEX (PPI) in Teradata?
Answer:


1. Partition by CASE
CREATE      TABLE ORDER_Table
(
ORD_number  integer NOT NULL,
customer_number integer NOT NULL,
order_date  date ,
order_total integer
)
PRIMARY INDEX (customer_number)
PARTITION BY case1 (
            order_total < 10000 ,
            order_total < 20000 ,
            order_total < 30000,
NO           CASE     OR        UNKNOWN ) ;

2. Partition by Range  - example using date range
CREATE TABLE ORDER_Table
(
ORD_number  integer NOT NULL,
customer_number integer NOT NULL,
order_date  date ,
order_total integer
)
PRIMARY INDEX (customer_number)
PARTITION BY range1 (
            Order_date BETWEEN date '2010-01-01'       AND      date '2010-12-01'
            EACH interval '1' month ,
NO RANGE
        OR  UNKNOWN);

P.S:If  we use NO RANGE or NO CASE  - then all values not in this range will be in a single partition.
If we specify UNKNOWN, then all null values will be placed in this partition
