Fallback With Join Indexes

You can define fallback for join indexes. The criteria for deciding whether to define a join index with fallback are similar to those used for deciding whether to define fallback on base tables.

If you do not define fallback for a join index and an AMP is down, then the following additional criteria become critical:

  • The join index cannot be used by the Optimizer to solve any queries that it covers.
  • The base tables on which the join index is defined cannot be updated.
