Need Amazon Redshift in-database upsert option

I'm adding records to a redshift table, and need to make sure there are no duplicates.  I have multiple keys to uniquely identify records. (about 6 keys).

The standard output data tool allows "Update - insert if new".  But it is very (too) slow.  I want to use the in-db tools to  to speed up the processing.  I haven't been able to figure out how to use the in-db tools to identify duplicates (join tool doesn't produce non-matches, no unique tool, sample tool doesn't allow group by, summarize doesn't allow "first", etc.).   So, I'm requesting a feature that would allow an in-database upsert.  Or, if anyone has other ideas, I'd appreciate it!   Thank you!

Hello @shaynie ,

 

yes there is no IN-DB Sample tool.

You can post your product idea here:

As a workaround, you could use the IN-DB Formula tool to identify duplicates and then use the IN-DB Filter tool afterwards to further process the identified duplicates.

 

Please let me know whether this helps you.

 

Best regards

Phil
