Example: Creating a Hash Index According to Ship Date - Teradata Vantage - Analytics Database

The following hash index is distributed implicitly on l_orderkey, the primary index for the base table lineitem, and stored explicitly in value order on l_orderkey:

     CREATE HASH INDEX line_hidx_3 (l_shipdate) ON lineitem
     ORDER BY VALUES;

The ordering column of the base table complies with the rules that it be limited to a single numeric column four or fewer bytes in length.

This creates an index that is equivalent in structure to the following join index:

     CREATE JOIN INDEX line_jidx_3 AS
      SELECT (l_orderkey), (l_shipdate, lineitem.ROWID) 
      FROM lineitem
      ORDER BY l_orderkey
     PRIMARY INDEX (l_orderkey);
