Skew factor is distribution of rows of a table among the
available no.of AMP's.
If your table has a chance of using unique primary index,it
is always better to use UPI which ensures the skew factor
around 0%.
If there is no chance of having unique values column in a
table choose a column as PI(primary index) which has less
duplicate values which inturn results in less skew factor.
That is the data will be distributed almost(not exactly
equal percentage) equally to all AMP's.
