"Partition pruning dramatically reduces the amount of data retrieved from disk and shortens the use of processing time, improving query performance and resource utilization. If you partition the index and table on different columns (with a global, partitioned index), partition pruning also eliminates index partitions even when the partitions of the underlying table cannot be eliminated."

I not positive I understand the second sentence. Could someone give an example?
