Is redshift consistent?

Amazon Redshift provides transactional consistency on all producer and consumer clusters and shares up-to-date and consistent views of the data with all consumers. The strong consistency eliminates the risks of lower-fidelity business reports that might contain invalid results during sharing of data.

How can I improve redshift copy performance?

Improving Redshift COPY Performance: Eliminating Unnecessary Queries

1. Performing a COPY into a temporary table (i.e. as part of an upsert operation).
2. Performing a COPY when the table already has data in it. In Redshift, the data encoding of an existing table cannot be changed.

How do I check my redshift query performance?

You can monitor your queries on the Amazon Redshift console on the Queries and loads page or on the Query monitoring tab on the Clusters page. While both options are similar for query monitoring, you can quickly get to your queries for all your clusters on the Queries and loads page.

How do you handle redshift?

Amazon Redshift best practices for loading data

1. Take the loading data tutorial.
2. Use a COPY command to load data.
3. Use a single COPY command to load from multiple files.
4. Split your load data.
5. Compress your data files.
6. Verify data files before and after a load.
7. Use a multi-row insert.
8. Use a bulk insert.

How do you analyze a redshift query?

Analyzing the query plan

1. Identify the steps with the highest cost.
2. Look at the join types:
3. Notice which table is used for the inner join, and which for the outer join.
4. See if there are any high-cost sort operations.
5. Look for the following broadcast operators where there are high-cost operations:

Other methods for loading data to Redshift

1. Write a program and use a JDBC or ODBC driver.
2. Paste SQL into Redshift.
3. Write data to Redshift from Amazon Glue.
4. Use EMR.
5. Copy JSON, CSV, or other data from S3 to Redshift.
