Migration

  • Altering tables requires exclusive lock on the table. If you have long running queries on a table plan ahead of time when is the right time to run the alter statements.
  • When loading data from S3 run COPY command with FILLRECORD, so that old data could be loaded if your table schema changes before your ETL process.
