This happens because the numeric integer is automatically converted to a floating point numeric, which loses precision with big numbers.Īlso unfortunately, it has returned dates and booleans as strings, which is incorrect, but we can work around that. Well, that didn't go as expected, right? If you look closely, the table has the number 9223372036854775807, but the query has returned 9223372036854775808 ?.

#AWS REDSHIFT POSTGRES DRIVER#
This is the “official” way to use Amazon Redshift with R, using the JDBC driver on SQL Workbench/J is the official way to connect to it according to the documentation, and this driver can be loaded like this: # Save the driver into a directoryĭownload.file('','~/.redshiftTools/redshift-driver.jar') For all of the connections, we’ll define these variables for connecting: dbname="dbname"
#AWS REDSHIFT POSTGRES DRIVERS#
Unfortunately, the status of the drivers compatibility is a little more shaky, but there is a way to make it work very nicely with R!įirst of all, let’s go through the 3 options we have for connecting to Amazon Redshift. I hope this Knime tutorial is useful for the Knime developers to connect Amazon Redshift databases using built-in PostgreSQL connector without installing a Redshift driver immediately.Amazon Redshift is one of the hottest databases for Data Warehousing right now, it’s one of the most cost-effective solutions available, and allows for integration with many popular BI tools. Knime data users can also use DB SQL Executor to execute a custom SQL query on the connected data platform, in our case on Amazon Redshift DWH database.Īnd to display the SQL query result data set visually as a table display, DB Query Reader node can be used.Īfter the Knime workflow is executed successfully by right-clicking on the DB Query Reader component and selecting the Knime data table will help the Knime users to display the data in a tabular format.
Knime DB Reader node can be used to display the output data which is read by the Amazon Redshift connection and SQL query execution.Īfter you execute the workflow right click on the DB Reader and from the context menu choose option "Knime data table" to display the queryied output data in a table view.
#AWS REDSHIFT POSTGRES CODE#
It is also possible to provide a custom SQL query by marking the Custom Query checkbox and entering the SQL query code which will be executed on Redshift database to read the required data. On the DB Table Selector, Knime users can directly provide the schema name and table name which they want to read from the target Amazon Redshift database. In that case using the Credentials Configuration box is no more required.
#AWS REDSHIFT POSTGRES PASSWORD#
The second way of providing the credentials is clicking on the Username & password option box and entering the username and password manually here. Using "Credential" option and selecting the previously configured Credentials Configuration name from the dropdown list is one way. Then using the PostgreSQL Connector with database connection parameters like the hostname (a resolvable DNS name for the Amazon Redshift cluster or the IP address of the leader node of the cluster), port number which is 5439 by default and database name.įor a successfull database connection a valid user credential should be provided. Knime developers can store the user name and password combination using Credentials Configuration Using the Credentials Configuration is optional but best practise for security reasons. The other option is using the DB SQL Executor and DB Query Reader as displayed on the bottom branch of the workflow. One of them is using DB Table Selector and DB Reader as seen on the top branch. In this example for Knime developers, there are two options to access Redshift cloud data warehouse and query database tables using SQL. The connections and workflow among Knime nodes will be as shown below
#AWS REDSHIFT POSTGRES WINDOWS#
On an empty workflow, Knime developers can drag and drop following nodes or components from the Node Repository windows on to the workflow surface:
