Thread: index sizes: single table vs partitioned

For a large table, should there be a difference in index sizes between a single table representation and representation based on multiple partitions with identical indexes?

This isn't really the right mailing list for this question; this is a
mailing list for the development team.  I would suggest trying this on-general.

I wouldn't expect there to be a big difference, but your email is
light on the sort of details that might enable someone to speculate on
what is going on in your particular case.
