Note,

Regarding the use of 'CSUM(1,1)' to generate a unique row ID: all data will be loaded to a single AMP for processing; therefore, don't be surprised if you blow out of spool space if the table you are working with is very large. If a Primary Key exists, then use 'CSUM(1,Primary Key)' to generate a unique row ID. It is much faster because of the even data distribution.

My 2 Cents,
