Hi,

i'm new to oracle environment.
Could some one let me know how can i specify NONCLUSTERD INDEX on Primary cloumn during table creation.

By default it will create clusterd index but i need non-clusterd index on it.

I'm using following stmt to create normal primary constarint during table creation,

CONSTRAINT PKFORM_PROPS PRIMARY KEY (FORM_PROPS_PK) USING INDEX TABLESPACE DB123_INDEX

Could some one let me know how can i change the above query, so that it should create NONCLUSTERED INDEX on Primary key column.

Thanks

What makes you think it'll create a clustered index?

There is no CLUSTERED or NONCLUSTERED index in Oracle.

The normal index for oracle is a what Oracle calls a "balanced b-tree". With respect to your old database, oracle's standard btree index is non-clustered.

Here is a link from asktomhome that talks a little about it.

As tom notes, you might be interested in and IOT, index organized table as I suspect that when you say "clustered index" you really mean that rows in the table are "ordered" although as tom points out, this too is actually a mis-conception given todays disk storage methods.

When you say SQL you think MS/SQL Server, here when you say SQL we mean Structured Query Language as this is an Oracle forum not a MS/SQL Server one.
