amazon-redshiftHow do I use Amazon Redshift to store data in an S3 bucket?

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. It can be used to store data in an S3 bucket. To do this, use the COPY command to load data from S3 into your Redshift cluster.

Example code

COPY my_table
FROM 's3://my-bucket/my-data/'
CREDENTIALS 'aws_access_key_id=<your_access_key_id>;aws_secret_access_key=<your_secret_access_key>'
CSV;

This command will copy data from the S3 bucket my-bucket into the table my_table in your Redshift cluster. The CREDENTIALS option allows you to specify your AWS access key and secret key for authentication. The CSV option indicates that the data is in CSV format.

• COPY - the command to copy data from S3 into Redshift
