What is Difference b/w PI & PPI?how to implement PPI?

Answer Posted / yogi

PI determines the distribution and retrieval of data for a
table in TD. If a primary index is not defined, either a PK
or Unique key or first column is assigned to be a PI. PI is
mandatory in TD.
PPI is used to store the data in partition. Along with the
row hash value, partition numbers are also stored.

While creating the table, PARTITION BY clause is used to
partition the data. Either RANGE_N or CASE_N can be used.
