This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Amazon Redshift in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Amazon Redshift

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Amazon Redshift and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Amazon Redshift through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to Amazon Redshift by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Amazon Redshift

The following connection properties are usually required to connect to Amazon Redshift.

• Server: The host name or IP of the server hosting the Amazon Redshift database.
• Database: The database that you created for your Amazon Redshift cluster.
• Port (optional): The port of the server hosting the Amazon Redshift database. 5439 by default.

Follow these steps to obtain these values in the AWS Management Console:

1. Open the Amazon Redshift console (http://console.aws.amazon.com/redshift).
2. On the Clusters page, click the name of the cluster.
3. On the Configuration tab, obtain the properties from the "Cluster Database Properties" section. The connection property values are the same as the values set in the ODBC URL.

The Cloud provides secure communication with Amazon Redshift server using SSL encryption. You can optionally turn off SSL encryption by setting UseSSL to false.

You can also leverage SSL authentication to connect to Amazon Redshift data. To do so, specify the following connection properties:

• SSLClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate. This is used in the case of 2-way SSL, where truststore and keystore are kept on both the client and server machines.
• SSLClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
• SSLClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. This is used to locate the certificate in the store.
• SSLClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.
• SSLServerCert: The certificate to be accepted from the server.

The following is the example connection string to connect Amazon Redshift using a standard user and password pair and inactive SSL encryption:

User=username;Password=password;Server=example.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com;Database=your_database;UseSSL=false;"

When the property is set to True , the provider additionally attaches temporary unique identifiers to these names. It may be required if you use parallel jobs to insert rows into the same table. Thus, the staging files are not overwritten by the jobs. A caveat is that using this property adds to the number of staging files put onto S3 bucket, since the file names are not controlled by the driver between different sessions. In this case you may want to define an AWS S3 policy on the bucket to remove staging files that were stored in a bucket automatically.

Remarks

• None: No authentication is performed. The current SSHUser value is ignored, and the connection is logged in as anonymous.
• Password: The Cloud uses the values of SSHUser and SSHPassword to authenticate the user.
• Public_Key: The Cloud uses the values of SSHUser and SSHClientCert to authenticate the user. SSHClientCert must have a private key available for this authentication method to succeed.

A certificate to be used for authenticating the SSHUser.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

SSHClientCert must contain a valid private key in order to use public key authentication. A public key is optional, if one is not included then the Cloud generates it from the private key. The Cloud sends the public key to the server and the connection is allowed if the user has authorized the public key.

The SSHClientCertType field specifies the type of the key store specified by SSHClientCert. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSHClientCertPassword.

Some types of key stores are containers which may include multiple keys. By default the Cloud will select the first key in the store, but you can specify a specific key using SSHClientCertSubject.

The password of the SSHClientCert key if it has one.

This section provides a complete list of the Logging properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.

---

Property	Description
Verbosity	Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.

Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"1"

Remarks

This property defines the level of detail the Cloud includes in the log file. Higher verbosity levels increase the detail of the logged information, but may also result in larger log files and slower performance due to the additional data being captured.

The default verbosity level is 1, which is recommended for regular operation. Higher verbosity levels are primarily intended for debugging purposes. For more information on each level, refer to Logging.

When combined with the LogModules property, Verbosity can refine logging to specific categories of information.

This section provides a complete list of the Schema properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.

---

Property	Description
BrowsableSchemas	Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
IgnoredSchemas	Visibility restriction filter which is used to hide the list of schemas by metadata quering. For example, 'information_schema, pg_catalog'. Schema names are case sensitive.

Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing all available database schemas can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string saves time and improves performance.

Visibility restriction filter which is used to hide the list of schemas by metadata quering. For example, 'information_schema, pg_catalog'. Schema names are case sensitive.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

By default, restrictions are not applied. The property is inactive when BrowsableSchemas is specified.

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.

---

Property	Description
AllowPreparedStatement	Prepare a query statement before its execution.
COPYConversionParameters	Specifies the coma separated list of parameter to use in the COPY command when InsertMode is S3Staging or S3StagingWithIAM. Supported parameters are: BLANKSASNULL DELIMITER EMPTYASNULL EXPLICIT_IDS NULL AS TRIMBLANKS TRUNCATECOLUMNS.
FetchResultSetMetadata	This field sets whether the provider retrieves metadata pertaining to the schema and table name for resultset columns returned by the server.
InsertMode	Specifies what method to use when inserting bulk data. By default DML mode is used.
IsServerless	The provider cannot detect endpoint to connect, if you are using a custom domain names for connections. Set this property to True when you are connecting to the Amazon Redshift serverless instance, as well specify the property AWSRegion in this case.
LZ4Compression	When set the driver notifies the server to compress data packets with lz4 compression algorithm.
MaxRows	Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
RedshiftToS3RoleARN	The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating S3 with IAM role by the COPY command for the bulk inserts.
S3Bucket	Specifies the name of AWS S3 bucket to upload bulk data for staging.
S3BucketFolder	Specifies the name of the folder in AWS S3 bucket to upload bulk data for staging. By default bulk data are staged in the root folder.
StripOutNulls	When set the null characters are stripped out from character values in bulk operations.
Timeout	Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
TimeZone	Set time zone for the current session.
UseUIDForStaging	Use this property in combination with InsertMode assigned with S3Staging or S3StagingWithIAM. By default the the driver creates staging files with names that prepend the targeted table's name, so the files are overwritten between sessions. When the property is set to True , the provider additionally attaches temporary unique identifiers to these names. It may be required if you use parallel jobs to insert rows into the same table. Thus, the staging files are not overwritten by the jobs. A caveat is that using this property adds to the number of staging files put onto S3 bucket, since the file names are not controlled by the driver between different sessions. In this case you may want to define an AWS S3 policy on the bucket to remove staging files that were stored in a bucket automatically.

Prepare a query statement before its execution.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

If the AllowPreparedStatement property is set to false, statements are parsed each time they are executed. Setting this property to false can be useful if you are executing many different queries only once.

If you are executing the same query repeatedly, you will generally see better performance by leaving this property at the default, true. Preparing the query avoids recompiling the same query over and over. However, prepared statements also require the Cloud to keep the connection active and open while the statement is prepared.

Specifies the coma separated list of parameter to use in the COPY command when InsertMode is S3Staging or S3StagingWithIAM. Supported parameters are: BLANKSASNULL DELIMITER EMPTYASNULL EXPLICIT_IDS NULL AS TRIMBLANKS TRUNCATECOLUMNS.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

All parameteres are optional. By default all but 'NULL AS' and 'DELIMITER' are inactive. Default 'DELIMITER' is comma char. See also UseUIDForStaging for more details about the value used as a null mark.

This field sets whether the provider retrieves metadata pertaining to the schema and table name for resultset columns returned by the server.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, the Cloud will not request that the server provides detailed information about resultset columns like the table name or schema name. It requires issuing additional metadata queries via Cloud , and it may affect query performance essentially in some scenarios. Consider setting this property to True when you need such detailed descriptive information for the resultset columns.

Specifies what method to use when inserting bulk data. By default DML mode is used.

Possible Values

DML, S3Staging, S3StagingWithIAM

Data Type

string

Default Value

"DML"

Remarks

When this is set to DML the Cloud uses Insert SQL statements to upload bulk data.

When this is set to S3Staging the Cloud uses the bulk upload API to upload data to the AWS S3 staging folder.

Bulk Insertion

InsertMode provides the following options for executing a bulk insert operation by the driver:

1. DML: This is the default option for sending multiple INSERT statements to the server by the driver in bulk. In this case, the driver issues a multi-row INSERT statement with respective syntax supported by the server. See Use a multi-row insert in the Amazon Redshift documentation.
2. S3Staging: This option involves two steps. Initially, multiple rows are streamed to the Amazon S3 bucket in CSV format. A staging CSV file is then created in the bucket. In the second step, Redshift's COPY FROM command copies the staged CSV file to a database. See COPY in the Amazon Redshift documentation for more information.

   The minimum set of policies required to connect AWS S3 by an IAM user, or a role assumed by it, are:

   • S3:ListBucket
   • S3:GetObject
   • S3:PutObject.

   Note that this mode uses your AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey in COPY commands that are sent to the server. This could present a security concern. If you want to hide sensitive information, use the S3StagingWithIAM mode instead.

3. S3StagingWithIAM: This option is similar to S3Staging, but it uses an IAM role parameter for the COPY command.

   The AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey are still required to connect in this mode, but they are not be included in the COPY commands sent to Redshift.

NOTE:If you choose the S3Staging or S3StagingWithIAM insert mode, and if you set the UseUIDForStaging connection property to True, you may want to define an AWS S3 policy on the bucket to remove staging files that are automatically stored in the bucket.

See also:

• AllowPreparedStatement
• RedshiftToS3RoleARN

The provider cannot detect endpoint to connect, if you are using a custom domain names for connections. Set this property to True when you are connecting to the Amazon Redshift serverless instance, as well specify the property AWSRegion in this case.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

If set to True, the Cloud will connect to serverless instance of the Amazon Redshift. By default, the property is set to False, and the Cloud will try to detect endpoint to connect.

When set the driver notifies the server to compress data packets with lz4 compression algorithm.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

This property sets an upper limit on the number of rows the Cloud returns for queries that do not include aggregation or GROUP BY clauses. This limit ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting. If MaxRows is set to "-1", no row limit is enforced unless a LIMIT clause is explicitly included in the query.

This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.

The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating S3 with IAM role by the COPY command for the bulk inserts.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"default"

Remarks

By default, if this property is not set, the COPY command uses 'default' value for the IAM role.

Specifies the name of AWS S3 bucket to upload bulk data for staging.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Specifies the name of the folder in AWS S3 bucket to upload bulk data for staging. By default bulk data are staged in the root folder.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

When set the null characters are stripped out from character values in bulk operations.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.

Data Type

int

Default Value

10

Remarks

This property controls the maximum time, in seconds, that the Cloud waits for an operation to complete before canceling it. If the timeout period expires before the operation finishes, the Cloud cancels the operation and throws an exception.

The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.

Setting this property to 0 disables the timeout, allowing operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server. Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.

Set time zone for the current session.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the TimeZone property is not set, provider uses client system time zone. Setting this property can be useful when you need the server to convert time with time zone and timestamp with timezone values to specific time zone, which is different than client's system time zone.

Use this property in combination with InsertMode assigned with S3Staging or S3StagingWithIAM. By default the the driver creates staging files with names that prepend the targeted table's name, so the files are overwritten between sessions. When the property is set to True , the provider additionally attaches temporary unique identifiers to these names. It may be required if you use parallel jobs to insert rows into the same table. Thus, the staging files are not overwritten by the jobs. A caveat is that using this property adds to the number of staging files put onto S3 bucket, since the file names are not controlled by the driver between different sessions. In this case you may want to define an AWS S3 policy on the bucket to remove staging files that were stored in a bucket automatically.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks
