Subj:   Re: Full-Table Scans and Secondary Indexes
 
From:   Raghav Vaidya



Clay,

Teradata stores base tables rows in different blocks than the sub-table rows. In a read, only those blocks are read that have the base table rows required to satifsy the query. In case of a FTS on a table with NUSI, only those blocks with base table rows are read while on tables with a USI, blocks with rows based on the USI are read.

I believe the time taken should be same.
