amazon-redshiftHow do I connect to Amazon Redshift?


To connect to Amazon Redshift, you need to use a PostgreSQL client. You can use the psql command line tool, or a graphical client such as Postico.

Using the psql command line tool, you can connect to Amazon Redshift with the following command:

psql -h <hostname> -p <port> -U <username> -d <database>
  • hostname is the endpoint of your cluster, which can be found in the Amazon Redshift console.
  • port is the port your cluster is listening on, usually 5439.
  • username is the master user of your cluster.
  • database is the name of the database you want to connect to.

Once you have entered the command, you will be prompted to enter the password for the master user.

You can also use a graphical client such as Postico to connect to Amazon Redshift. To do this, you will need the endpoint, port, username and password for your cluster.

For more information, refer to the Amazon Redshift documentation.
