how teradata fetches a row from primary index table?..

Answer / vinoth

All the rows in the table will be evenly disturbed among the AMP's based on the Primary Index column.

Eg. employee table (EMP_NO(PI),EMP_NAME)

AMP1 AMP2 AMP3
12,PARTI 15,alex 14,flex

When you execute the query select emp_name from employee where emp_no='12' .

It's a One AMP operation, it will directly go to AMP 1 and it will fetch the value "PARTI".

Please look at the terms PE, BYNET and AMP to understand this more.
