RE: stupid question about indexes and partitions

Joe :  

You probably know some of this already, but here is a summary of indexes on partitioned tables
* Local indexes are just indexes that are equi-partitioned with the table

• Local prefixed indexes have the partition columns as the leading column(s) in the index
• Local non-prefixed indexes do not * Global indexes are indexes that are not equi-partitioned with the table
• Global partitioned indexes are partitioned, but differently than the talbe
• Global non-partitioned indexes are not partitioned.

It looks like you have a global non-partitioned index there.

Ok i have a table range partitioned on date.  

I have prefixed local indexes also. so far so good.  

I created an index, non partitioned, using simple  

create index index_name on table(field20);  

Is that now assumed to be a global index?  

I can't find any docs to say one way or the other.  

thanks, joe
