This example uses the following base table.
CREATE TABLE acd_t1 ( a INTEGER, b INTEGER, c INTEGER, d INTEGER) PRIMARY INDEX(a);
You create the following column-partitioned sparse join index on t1.
CREATE JOIN INDEX j_acd_t1 AS SELECT ROWID AS rw, a, b FROM acd_t1 WHERE a < 10 PARTITION BY COLUMN;
This defines a column-partitioned join index where each column is contained within its own column partition and with system-determined COLUMN format.
Because neither AUTO COMPRESS nor NO AUTO COMPRESS is specified in the join index definition, partitions has autocompression by default.
