Just check the Teradata design manual to understand covering. To quote the manual 'The Optimizer aggressively pursues NUSIs when they cover a
query. The expression "covering" means that all of the columns requested in a query are also available from an existing index subtable, making it
unnecessary to access the base table rows to complete the query.' There are some simple examples too.
