Getting Started with Amazon Redshift

Redshift — сервис Amazon для хранения баз данных размером от нескольких сотен гигабайт до многих петабайт, по сути «облачная база данных».

«You can use most SQL client tools with Amazon Redshift JDBC or ODBC drivers to connect to an Amazon Redshift cluster. In this tutorial, we show you how to connect using SQL Workbench/J, a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool. If you plan to use SQL Workbench/J to complete this tutorial, follow the steps below to get set up with the Amazon Redshift JDBC driver and SQL Workbench/J. For more complete instructions for installing SQL Workbench/J, go to Setting Up the SQL Workbench/J Client in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide. If you use an Amazon EC2 instance as your client computer, you will need to install SQL Workbench/J and the required drivers on the instance».
