specifying distkey on a redshift temp table in DataGrip

I’ve been doing some work in our Redshift data warehouse lately. Creating Temp Tables has simplified my queries dramatically. I’ve been using the DataGrip IDE to connect to Redshift. It has a minor bug affecting create table as that I tripped over repeatedly while working out my queries.

If the query includes a distkey or sortkey, DataGrip won’t recognize that the query continues after the as if there is nothing further on the line.

But, I was able to quickly work around this by just putting as and select on the same line.

  DISTINCT(t.id) AS id
