What is difference between primary index and secondary index exactly? [duplicate]
Primary index:
A primary index is an index on a set of fields that includesthe unique primary key for the field and is guaranteed not to contain duplicates.Also Called a Clustered index. eg. Employee ID can be Example of it.
Secondary index:
A Secondary index is an index that is not a primary index and may have duplicates.eg. Employee name can be example of it. Because Employee name can have similar values.
The primary index contains the key fields of the table. The primary index is automatically created in the database when the table is activated. If a large table is frequently accessed such that it is not possible to apply primary index sorting, you should create secondary indexes for the table.
The indexes on a table have a three-character index ID. '0' is reserved for the primary index. Customers can create their own indexes on SAP tables; their IDs must begin with Y or Z.
