Answer / 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.

Answer / tdguy
PI is mandatory in TD. Data distribution in TD depends on
PI. The PI more unique, more will be the performance. PPI
is generally used for range processing.TD stores data
within a block based on row id. But PPI stores the rows in
a data block by the value instead of the ROWID. Therefore,
range processing will be faster.
partition by statement is used along with create statement.
range for weeks or months or days can be mentioned by using
interval option.

mandatory whereas PI is mandatory. PPI is generally used for
