Answer / ajain

Whenever NUSI is created, subtable will be created for each AMP's with the fields rowid and secondary index value.For NUSI ,subtable will be AMP local ie it will be having the records which are specific to the particular AMP.
When someone queries with the NUSI, all the AMPs will search in their own subtable for particular secondary index .For AMPs which found the particular record in their subtable ,it will retrieve the actual data from the AMP and PE will be consolidating the records and give to user

Since NUSI involves all AMP operation , PE will be deciding whether FULL table scan or ALL AMP operation will be more efficient .

Answer / saravanan

If COLLECT STATS has been defined on the table EMP, then PE
will avoid going for a FULL TABLE SCAN.
If not, PE will undergo a FULL TABLE SCAN to fetch
DEPTID=100

Answer / saravanan

If your question is about how Parsing engine would fetch
DEPTID=10, it will undergo a FULL TABLE scan since Dept_Id
is a Non unique secondary index.
