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: 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.

Example connection string (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;"

Authenticating to Amazon Redshift

CData Cloud supports authentication via standard credentials, IAM credentials, ADFS, Ping Federate, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), or Azure AD PKCE.

Standard Authentication

To connect to Amazon Redshift with login credentials, set these properties:

• AuthScheme: Basic.
• User: The authenticating user's login.
• Password: The authenticating user's password.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=Basic;User=user;Password=password;Server=example.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com;Database=your_database;

IAM Credentials

Set the AuthScheme to IAMCredentials.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=IAMCredentials;Server=example.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com;Database=your_database;User=your_user;AWSAccessKey=your_access_key;AWSSecretKey=your_secretkey;

If you are connecting using an IAM role with temporary credentials you are also required to apply AWSSessionToken.

You can optionally apply:

• AutoCreate: Create a database user with the name specified for User if one does not exist while connecting.
• DbGroups: Database groups the database user joins for the current session.

ADFS

To connect to ADFS, set these properties:

• AuthScheme: ADFS.
• User: The authenticating ADFS user.
• Password: The password of the authenticating ADFS user.
• SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=ADFS;User=username;Password=password;SSOLoginURL='https://sts.company.com';

ADFS Integrated

The ADFS Integrated flow indicates you are connecting with the user credentials of the currently logged in Windows user. To use the ADFS Integrated flow, do not specify the User and Password, but otherwise follow the same steps noted above under ADFS.

PingFederate

To connect to PingFederate, set these properties:

• AuthScheme: PingFederate.
• User: The authenticating PingFederate user.
• Password: The authenticating user's PingFederate password.
• SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.
• AWSRoleARN (optional): If you have multiple role ARNs, specify the one you want to use for authorization.
• AWSPrincipalARN (optional): If you have multiple principal ARNs, specify the one you want to use for authorization.
• SSOProperties (optional): If you want to include your username and password as an authorization header in requests to Amazon S3, set this to Authscheme=Basic.

To enable mutual SSL authentication for SSOLoginURL, the WS-Trust STS endpoint, configure these SSOProperties:

• SSLClientCert
• SSLClientCertType
• SSLClientCertSubject
• SSLClientCertPassword

Example connection string:

Server=redshift-cluster-1.xxxxxxxxxxxx.us-east-1.redshift.amazonaws.com;Database=dev;Port=5439;UseSSL=true;SSLServerCert=*;AuthScheme=PingFederate;AutoCreate=TRUE;SSOLoginURL=https://mycustomserver.com:9033/idp/sts.wst;SSOExchangeUrl=https://us-east-1.signin.aws.amazon.com/platform/saml/acs/764ef411-xxxxxx;User=admin;Password=PassValue;AWSRegion=NORTHERNVIRGINIA;

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

Note: Microsoft has rebranded Azure AD as Entra ID. In topics that require the user to interact with the Entra ID Admin site, we use the same names Microsoft does. However, there are still CData connection properties whose names or values reference "Azure AD".

To authenticate via Azure AD, you must have a non-B2C Azure tenant and an active Azure AD account.

Before you can authenticate via Azure AD, you must complete the following tasks:

1. Create and register an OAuth application
2. Create and configure a Redshift client application

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.

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

---

Property	Description
AzureTenant	Identifies the Amazon Redshift tenant being used to access data. Accepts either the tenant's domain name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com ) or its directory (tenant) ID.

Identifies the Amazon Redshift tenant being used to access data. Accepts either the tenant's domain name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com ) or its directory (tenant) ID.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

A tenant is a digital container for your organization's users and resources, managed through Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Each tenant is associated with a unique directory ID, and often with a custom domain (for example, microsoft.com or contoso.onmicrosoft.com).

To find the directory (tenant) ID in the Microsoft Entra Admin Center, navigate to Microsoft Entra ID > Properties and copy the value labeled "Directory (tenant) ID".

This property is required in the following cases:

• When AuthScheme is set to AzureServicePrincipal or AzureServicePrincipalCert
• When AuthScheme is AzureAD and the user account belongs to multiple tenants

You can provide the tenant value in one of two formats:

• A domain name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com)
• A directory (tenant) ID in GUID format (for example, c9d7b8e4-1234-4f90-bc1a-2a28e0f9e9e0)

Specifying the tenant explicitly ensures that the authentication request is routed to the correct directory, which is especially important when a user belongs to multiple tenants or when using service principal–based authentication.

If this value is omitted when required, authentication may fail or connect to the wrong tenant. This can result in errors such as unauthorized or resource not found.

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

---

Property	Description
SSOLoginURL	The identity provider's login URL.
SSOProperties	Additional properties required to connect to the identity provider, formatted as a semicolon-separated list.
SSOExchangeURL	The URL used for consuming the SAML response and exchanging it for service specific credentials.

The identity provider's login URL.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The identity provider's login URL.

Additional properties required to connect to the identity provider, formatted as a semicolon-separated list.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Additional properties required to connect to the identity provider, formatted as a semicolon-separated list.

This is used with the SSOLoginURL.

SSO configuration is discussed further in .

The URL used for consuming the SAML response and exchanging it for service specific credentials.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The CData Cloud will use the URL specified here to consume a SAML response and exchange it for service specific credentials. The retrieved credentials are the final piece during the SSO connection that are used to communicate with Amazon Redshift.

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

---

Property	Description
OAuthClientId	Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.
OAuthClientSecret	Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).
Scope	Specifies the scope of the authenticating user's access to the application, to ensure they get appropriate access to data. If a custom OAuth application is needed, this is generally specified at the time the application is created.

Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is required in two cases:

• When using a custom OAuth application, such as in web-based authentication flows, service-based authentication, or certificate-based flows that require application registration.
• If the driver does not provide embedded OAuth credentials.

(When the driver provides embedded OAuth credentials, this value may already be provided by the Cloud and thus not require manual entry.)

OAuthClientId is generally used alongside other OAuth-related properties such as OAuthClientSecret and OAuthSettingsLocation when configuring an authenticated connection.

OAuthClientId is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can usually find this value in your identity provider’s application registration settings. Look for a field labeled Client ID, Application ID, or Consumer Key.

While the client ID is not considered a confidential value like a client secret, it is still part of your application's identity and should be handled carefully. Avoid exposing it in public repositories or shared configuration files.

For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection.

Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property (sometimes called the application secret or consumer secret) is required when using a custom OAuth application in any flow that requires secure client authentication, such as web-based OAuth, service-based connections, or certificate-based authorization flows. It is not required when using an embedded OAuth application.

The client secret is used during the token exchange step of the OAuth flow, when the driver requests an access token from the authorization server. If this value is missing or incorrect, authentication fails with either an invalid_client or an unauthorized_client error.

OAuthClientSecret is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can obtain this value from your identity provider when registering the OAuth application.

Notes:

• This value should be stored securely and never exposed in public repositories, scripts, or unsecured environments.
• Client secrets may also expire after a set period. Be sure to monitor expiration dates and rotate secrets as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.

For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection

Specifies the scope of the authenticating user's access to the application, to ensure they get appropriate access to data. If a custom OAuth application is needed, this is generally specified at the time the application is created.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Scopes are set to define what kind of access the authenticating user will have; for example, read, read and write, restricted access to sensitive information. System administrators can use scopes to selectively enable access by functionality or security clearance.

When InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH, you must use this property if you want to change which scopes are requested.

When InitiateOAuth is set to either REFRESH or OFF, you can change which scopes are requested using either this property or the Scope input.

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

---

Property	Description
SSLServerCert	Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

If you are using a TLS/SSL connection, use this property to specify the TLS/SSL certificate to be accepted from the server. If you specify a value for this property, all other certificates that are not trusted by the machine are rejected.

This property can take the following forms:

Description	Example
A full PEM Certificate (example shortened for brevity)	-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIChTCCAe4CAQAwDQYJKoZIhv......Qw== -----END CERTIFICATE-----
A path to a local file containing the certificate	C:\cert.cer
The public key (example shortened for brevity)	-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- MIGfMA0GCSq......AQAB -----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
The MD5 Thumbprint (hex values can also be either space- or colon-separated)	ecadbdda5a1529c58a1e9e09828d70e4
The SHA1 Thumbprint (hex values can also be either space- or colon-separated)	34a929226ae0819f2ec14b4a3d904f801cbb150d

Note: It is possible to use '*' to signify that all certificates should be accepted, but due to security concerns this is not recommended.

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

---

Property	Description
SSHAuthMode	The authentication method used when establishing an SSH Tunnel to the service.
SSHClientCert	A certificate to be used for authenticating the SSHUser.

The authentication method used when establishing an SSH Tunnel to the service.

Possible Values

None, Password, Public_Key

Data Type

string

Default Value

"Password"

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.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is required for SSH tunneling when using certificate-based authentication. If the SSH certificate is in a password-protected key store, provide the password using this property to access the certificate.

The subject of the SSH client certificate.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

When loading a certificate the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks the first certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, [email protected]". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

Field	Meaning
CN	Common Name. This is commonly a host name like www.server.com.
O	Organization
OU	Organizational Unit
L	Locality
S	State

Whether to tunnel the Amazon Redshift connection over SSH. Use SSH.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default the Cloud will attempt to connect directly to Amazon Redshift. When this option is enabled, the Cloud will instead establish an SSH connection with the SSHServer and tunnel the connection to Amazon Redshift through it.

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 number of rows returned for queries that do not include either 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.
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 parameters 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 number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The default value for this property, -1, means that no row limit is enforced unless the query explicitly includes a LIMIT clause. (When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting.)

Setting MaxRows to a whole number greater than 0 ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

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.

Data Type

int

Default Value

10

Remarks

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.

Timeout is set to 60 seconds by default. To disable timeouts, set this property to 0.

Disabling the timeout allows 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.

Note: 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.

NSIS 3.10

Copyright (C) 1999-2025 Contributors THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Contribution" means:

a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

i) changes to the Program, and

ii) additions to the Program;

where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.

"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.

"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.

"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.

b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.

d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

3. REQUIREMENTS

A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:

a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

b) its license agreement:

i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;

ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and

iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.

When the Program is made available in source code form:

a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.

Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.

Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
