<blockquote><p>You can distribute your table data using Distributed BY <ID>, and if you are not sure about a particular column, you can create your table using Distributed Randomly.</p></blockquote>
<p>But tables which are distributed randomly, are not good for table performance because query optimizer will take more time for Randomly distributed tables.<br />
Greenplum DBA can use below script to find randomly distributed tables.</p>
