Amazon Redshift¶

This driver provides access to Amazon Redshift (commonly referred to as just “Redshift”).

Note

This project is not affiliated with Amazon.

Installation¶

The Redshift driver can be installed with dbc :

dbc install redshift

Connecting¶

To connect, edit the uri, redshift.cluster_type, redshift.workgroup_name, and redshift.db_name options below to match your environment and run the following:

from adbc_driver_manager import dbapi

dbapi.connect(
    driver="redshift",
    db_kwargs={
        "uri": "postgresql://localhost:5439", # for Redshift Serverless with bastion host
        #"uri": "postgresql://localhost:5440", # for Redshift Provisioned with bastion host
        #"uri": "postgresql://<cluster hostname>:<cluster port>", # for direct connection

        "redshift.cluster_type": "redshift-serverless", # for Redshift Serverless
        #"redshift.cluster_type": "redshift-iam", # for Redshift Provisioned with IAM auth
        #"redshift.cluster_type": "redshift", # for Redshift Provisioned with user/password auth

        "redshift.workgroup_name": "<WORKGROUP_NAME>", # for Redshift Serverless
        #"redshift.cluster_identifier": "<CLUSTER IDENTIFIER>", # for Redshift Provisioned

        "redshift.db_name": "sample_data_dev",
    }
)

Note: The example above is for Python using the adbc-driver-manager package but the process will be similar for other driver managers.
