DATA DICTIONARY CONT....

Types of tables: -
  1. Transparent tables
  2. Cluster tables
  3. Pool tables

Transparent tables: - Transparent tables are one to one relationship. That is if you create one transparent table in the data dictionary, then it’ll store like only one data base table in the data base.














Cluster table: - This tables are many – one relationship. That is if you create the many clustered tables in DDIC then they will form like a table cluster & store in the data base.


  1. Buffering isn’t possible for clustered table. From this reason only fetching the data from clustered table take more time.
  2. Clustered table is suitable when you fetch the fewer amounts of data from more fields.

Pooled table: -
  1. Pooled tables are many – one relationship. That means if you create many pooled tables in DDIC, then they will form like a table pool & stored in the data base. 
  2. Pooled tables are suitable when we fetch the large amount of data from fewer fields.

    Note: - Joins aren’t possible for Clustered & Pooled tables

Index: -

Indexes are used to improve the performance of the select query. There are two types of indexes.
  1. Primary index
  2. Secondary index
Primary index: - Primary index is the primary fields. Without a primary index we can’t create the data base table. We can place up to 16 primary indexes per table. We can create the primary index only for custom tables. Not for standard tables.

Secondary index: -Secondary index is possible for other than primary fields. Without a secondary index we can create the data base table. We can create up to 9 secondary indexes per a table. We can create secondary index for both standard & custom tables.
