Hi

I am wondering if there is a way to connect to AWS (redshift) from OAC Data Model. I know that there is a connector for DV, but any chance that the RPD (data model) can connect to it? Thanks!

    By Data Model, do you mean repository or are you referring to an OAC Data Set? Have you created an Amazon Redshift Connection?

    Thanks for replying. I am referring to the repository or the Admin Tool. I was able to connect via DV with what you have mentioned above, but I am trying to import tables from AWS into the RPD. Again, thanks

  • OAC (and not OAC Classic) doesn't allow to execute customer code, you don't have any access to the OAC server itself (ssh etc.).

    In some old blog posts they were using ODBC to connect to Redshift, downloading the driver, setting up an ODBC connection and using this ODBC connection in the connection pool.

    But in the OAC RPD you can create a database and select "Redshift" as type, did you try this option?

    Interestingly, when I select Redshift from the list, it automatically turns into the Postgres and defaults the connection pool to use ODBC3.5. I guess if Postgres can be connected then it will work for redshift... I will test it tomorrow. Thanks for the help
