Critical Sizing Variables

The critical variables for sizing Teradata Database tables and indexes are the following:

  • Row size
  • Estimated cardinality
  • Presence of fallback
  • Table headers are a fixed variable, but must be considered when you are evaluating the projected sizes of your tables. Ensure that you take multivalue compression into account when sizing table headers (see “Compression Types Supported by Teradata Database” on page 635).
