Q: When creating external tables with Parquet files on Redshift does the column order matter?

[ian-lewis-d]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with creating external tables in Redshift based on Parquet files stored on S3.

It's not 100% clear to me whether the columns need to be listed, or if the order matters with Parquet files. There is a specific mention in the docs that column order only matters for CSV files.

Can anyone clarify this for me.

Many thanks.
Ian Lewis
