Here is good read for you.Ī good video session is here, that may be really helpful in understanding SORT VS DIST Key.
Query performance suffers when a large amount of data is stored on a single node. CREATE TABLE blahtemp (Clusters store data fundamentally across the compute nodes.
It determine where data is stored in Redshift. This may be good read for you.įor joining, fact and dimension tables, you should be using distribution key. Interleaved Keys are more of a special case sort key and do not help with any joins.Įvery type of those keys has specific purpose. Because Redshift is a columnar database with compressed storage, it doesn't use indexes like transactional databases such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL, and PostgreSQL would. The only time a Sort Key can help with join performance is if you set everything up for a Merge Join - that usually only makes sense for large fact-to-fact table joins. Amazon Redshift’s DISTKEY and SORTKEY are powerful tools for optimizing query performance. They aren't all that useful on most dimension tables because dimension tables are typically small. Sort Keys are primarily meant to optimize the effectiveness of the Zone Maps (sort of like a BRIN index) and enabling range restricted scans. The query optimizer uses this sort ordered table while determining optimal query plans. Data stored in the table can be sorted using these columns. There can be multiple columns defined as Sort Keys. This tab allows you to configure filtering settings.Sort keys are just for sorting purpose, not for joining purpose. See Amazon Redshift documentation for more information about compression encodings. Auto means that compression encoding won’t be specified in the CREATE TABLE statement. Additionally you can select Compression Encoding for each column. You can also edit column length for textual columns and precision and scale - for numeric columns. It also allows you to exclude some of the columns from replication.Ĭlear checkboxes for the columns you want to exclude from replication. An appropriate DISTKEY placed a similar number of rows on each node and is frequently used in join condition. You should choose distribution styles that distribute data evenly across all Redshift nodes. This tab allows you to configure settings for the Redshift table columns. Amazon Redshift distributes the table rows throughout the cluster according to the distribution key. Specifies the column list, which will be used for sorting table data when performing initial data loading to the table. Each node in the cluster has its own operating system, dedicated memory, and dedicated disk storage. The Advisor generates tailored recommendations by analyzing the clusters performance and query patterns. If Auto is selected, this parameter will be omitted when creating the table. An Amazon Redshift cluster is a set of nodes. Amazon Redshift Advisor now recommends the most appropriate distribution key for frequently queried tables to improve query performance. Distribution Keyĭetermines the column, based on values of which the rows will be distributed between the node slices. You can find more information about distribution styles in the Amazon Redshift documentation.
ALL - Every node will have its own copy of all the table rows.Key - The rows will be distributed between the node slices depending on the values in one of the columns.Even - The rows will be evenly distributed between the node slices in a round-robin fashion, regardless of the row data values. Fast and effective distribution-key recommendation for amazon redshift Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment.Auto - this parameter when creating a table.Distribution Styleĭetermines how Amazon Redshift will distribute the rows loaded to the table between the node slices. This tab allows specifying settings for the whole table. The editor consists of the three tabs: Table If the table uses automatic distribution, RELEFFECTIVEDISTSTYLE is 10, 11, or 12, which indicates whether the effective distribution style. The RELEFFECTIVEDISTSTYLE column in PGCLASSINFO indicates the current distribution style for the table. These parameters affect the Redshift table creation. To view the distribution style of a table, query the PGCLASSINFO view or the SVVTABLEINFO view.
Replication task editor for data replication to Amazon Redshift is different from the replication task editor for other sources, and it allows you to specify additional parameters, specific for Amazon Redshift. Editing Replication Task for Amazon Redshift
