Difference bet cube indexes and dso indexes

hi,
1.can any tell me the difference between cube indexes and dso indexes?
if we have aggregates on the cube it improves the performce of the query created on it
2.so why to create indexes on the cube?
for creating indexes on the dso i right click on dso and click create indexes
it is asking two options
1.unique key 2.non unique
4.what is the functionality of these two?
i will assign points if ur answers clear my questions

The BW automatically defines multiple indexes on your cubes, based on the dimensions you have defined.  You do not need to create any additional indexes on your Fact tables.  It can somtimes be helpful to create a secondary index on dimension tables or master data tables depending on their size and the queries.  There is not BW wkbench tool to do this, it usually requires a DBA in most shops.
Secondary indexes on DSO/ODS can help some queries substantially, again, depending on the data and the queries.  You can define secondary indexes on DSO/ODS from the BW workbench.
Aggregates are another tool for query performance, by summarizing the data, it can reduce the number of rows that must be read by a query.  Again, it dpends on the query and the data as to how much an aggregate helps.

  • Difference between primary eindex and secondary index?

    difference between primary eindex and secondary index?

    A difference is made between Primary & Secondary indexes to a table. the primary index consists of the key fields of the table and a pointer to the non-keys-fields of the table. The Primary index is generated automatically when a table is created and is created in the datebase as the same times as the table. It is also possible to define further indexes to a table in the ABAP/4 dictionary, which are then referred to as Secondary indexes.
    Always it is not mandatory that an index should have all the key fields of a table. To see the index of a table
    goto SE11->specify table name->click on the indexes... button on the application toolbar.
    Based on your requirement you can you any of those index fields in the where clause of your query. Always its a better practice to use the index fields in the order specified. While selecting the records from a table it is always better to select the fields in the same order as specified in the table.

  • Difference between unique constraint and unique index

    1. What is the difference between unique constraint and unique index when unique constraint is always indexed ? Which one is better in this case for better performance ?
    2. Is Composite index of 3 columns x,y,z better
    or having independent/ seperate indexes on 3 columns x,y,z is better for better performance ?
    3. It has been very confusing for me to decide which columns to index, I have indexed most foreignkey columns, is it a good idea ? We do lot of selects and DMLS on most of our tables. Is there any query that I can run and find out if indexes are really being used and if they are improving any performance. I have analyzed and computed my indexes using ANALYZE index index_name validate structure and COMPUTE STATISTICS;
    null

    1. Unique index is part of unique constraint. Of course you can create standalone unique index. But is is no point to skip the logical view of business if you spend same effort to achive.
    You create unique const. Oracle create the unique index for you. You may specify index characteristic in unique constraint.
    2. Depends. You can't utilize the composite index if the searching condition is not whole or front part of the indexing key. You can't utilize your index if you query the table for y=2. That is.
    3. As old words in database arena, Index may be good or bad for a table depending on the size of table, number of columns in the table... etc. It is very environmental dependent. In fact, It is part of database nomalization. Statistic is a way oracle use to determine the execution plan.

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • What is the difference between "Invisible" (11g) and "virtual" index?

    Hi
    What is the difference between the "Invisible" index and "virtual" index?
    Thanks
    Balaji

    Indexes can be visible or invisible. An invisible index is maintained by DML operations and cannot be used by the optimizer. Actually takes space, but is not to be used as part of a potential access path.
    AFAIK, a virtual index is created by the tools used in SQL statement access path tuning to provide an alternative for the optimizer to test. It does not take any real space as it is a pure in memory definition.

  • Difference between primary key and primary index

    Dear All,
             Hi... .Could you pls tell me the difference between primary key and primary index.
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    Primary Key : It is one which makes an entry of the field unique.No two distinct rows in a table can have the same value (or combination of values) in those columns.
    Eg: first entry is 111, if you again enter value 111 , it doesnot allow 111 again. similarly for the strings or characters or numc etc. Remember that for char or numc or string 'NAME' is not equal to 'name'.
    Primary Index: this is related to the performance .A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of operations in a table. Indices can be created using one or more columns, providing the basis for both rapid random lookups and efficient ordering of access to records. The disk space required to store the index is typically less than the storage of the table (since indices usually contain only the key-fields according to which the table is to be arranged, and excludes all the other details in the table), yielding the possibility to store indices into memory from tables that would not fit into it. In a relational database an index is a copy of part of a table. Some databases extend the power of indexing by allowing indices to be created on functions or expressions. For example, an index could be created on upper(last_name), which would only store the uppercase versions of the last_name field in the index.
    In a database , we may have a large number of records. At the time of retrieving data from the database based on a condition , it is a burden to the db server. so whenever we create a primary key , a primary index is automatically created by the system.
    If you want to maintain indices on other fields which are frequently used in where condition then you can create secondary indices.

  • Differences between function based index and normal index

    Hi,
    Please Give me some differences between function based index and normal indexes.
    1. Is there any performance gain in function based index?
    2. Why indexes created in DESC are treated as function based?
    3. Every DESC index is b-tree index?

  • What is difference bet  call transaction and session method in BDC

    hi
    what is difference bet  call transaction and session method in BDC
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Session method.
    1) synchronous processing.
    2) can tranfer large amount of data.
    3) processing is slower.
    4) error log is created
    5) data is not updated until session is processed.
    Call transaction.
    1) asynchronous processing
    2) can transfer small amount of data
    3) processing is faster.
    4) errors need to be handled explicitly
    5) data is updated automatically

  • JTable SelectionModel - first Index and Las Index giving incorrect values

    Hi Guys,
    When i added a ListSelectionListener to the JTable's selectionModel, and tried to get the first index and last index values. The goofy thing i noticed is when you select different rows, the indexes are correct,but when you switch between the same rows, then indexes provided by the ListSelectionListener are always the same. Example : if you switch between 3 and 4 rows first index is 2 and last index is 3 which is correct, but if you go back 3rd row from 4th row, the first index is still 2 and last index is 3... which is kind of weird.
    Any ideas about this, and why this is happenning.
    I am pasting my sample code here any explanation is very helpfull to understand this behavior

    I was (maybe wrongly) under the impression that, last index will give the last selected value and first index will give me the currect selected value. Not maybe - your impression sure is wrong. Honestly can't understand how it's possible to mis-interpret the api doc of ListSelectionEvent (except not reading it ;-)
    "Represents a change in selection status between firstIndex and
    lastIndex, inclusive. firstIndex is less than or equal to
    lastIndex. The selection of at least one index within the range will
    have changed."

    SQL> If you see here the even though statistics were gathered,
         * In the 1st table T_TEST_TAB, the table is still using FULL table access after creation of index.
         * And in the 2nd table T_TEST_TAB1, table is using PRIMARY KEY as expected.
