Note the following things about this information.
  • This from is filled out during the logical design phase and you should not define indexes this soon in the process.

    • ARRAY/VARRAY
    • BLOB
    • CLOB
    • XML
    • Geospatial
    • Period
    • JSON
  • A table might be a non partitioned NoPI object, and a table or join index might be a column-partitioned object, in which case it would not have a primary index.
