Learning Amazon Redshift is one of the best moves you can make in your career because Redshift has a brilliant design for the cloud.
Tom Coffing is an expert on all database systems as he has written over 85 books covering them all. Once Tom understood the Teradata Architecture and then Amazon Redshift, all the other databases were easy to learn.

Sort Key Options for Amazon Redshift inside Tables
Amazon Redshift allows you to sort the data inside a Redshift table, which can be quite advantageous. You can utilize a single-column sort key, a compound sort key, or an interleaved sort key. Let Tera-Tom explain how each works in Redshift.
