Related products: FME Form

Redshift is a powerful columnar-based Data Warehouse but requires some tuning out of the gate to enable its full potential. One of the most important components is the selection of the Sort and Distribution keys.

Requesting an extra option on the REDSHIFT WRITER to allow for the selection of Sort and Distribution keys if the writer is creating the table.
