SORTKEY and DISTKEY created for a table in Redshift can be checked with a query like this (to be executed directly on Redshift). ALL distribution can improve execution time when used with certain dimension tables where KEY distribution is not appropriate, but performance improvements must be weighed against maintenance costs. For the Server name I also tried the JDBC URL as per.
Redshift database password#
Server name: Cluster-name-as-created-on-redshift Server port: 5439 as is the default AWS port Database: left blank to connect to the default database I created User name and password as created on AWS. This distribution style ensures that all the rows required for any join are available on every node, but it multiplies storage requirements and increases the load and maintenance times for the table. To connect I am using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool->Connect to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. If you specify DISTSTYLE KEY, you must name a DISTKEY column.ĪLL: A copy of the entire table is distributed to every node. The ALTER DATABASE is a command which is used to modify the attributes of the database in Redshift. When data is collocated, the optimizer can perform joins more efficiently. When you set the joining columns of joining tables as distribution keys, the joining rows from both tables are collocated on the compute nodes. KEY: The data is distributed by the values in the DISTKEY column. Row IDs are used to determine the distribution, and roughly the same number of rows are distributed to each node. It is not possible to specify more than one DISTKEY for each recommended optimization.ĮVEN: The data in the table is spread evenly across the nodes in a cluster in a round-robin distribution. Dist KeysĭISTKEYs are not automatically recommended by the system and they need to be manually created by the user. The system will create then a SORTKEY with one column or with multiple columns if the highest freq index is SINGLE or MULTIPLE, respectively.Ĭolumns that are normally recommended for index creation are used to define dist and sort keys.
Since it is possible to specify only one SORTKEY(with one or more columns) at the table level, we decided to create a SORTKEY corresponding to the recommended index (with kind SINGLE or MULTIPLE) with the highest frequency. SORTKEYs are created analyzing the currently recommended indexes collected for each optimization.Īccording to the documentation, SORTKEYs can be specified both at column and table levels. It is possible to specify only one SORTKEY column (at column level) or multiple columns if defined at the table level. Amazon Redshift is a petabyte-scale Cloud-based Data Warehouse service. With respect to indexes, distkeys and sortkeys must be defined when the table is created. Database connection information Credentials. Redshift does not support indexes but supports distribution and sort keys that can be used to improve the performance of queries.
