  1. Challenge

    Inspect the Lab Environment

    Use the AWS Web Console to investigate the lab environment. You should find an S3 bucket named users-data-<ACCOUNT_NUMBER>, which contains a single JSON file as well as a single node Redshift cluster.

    We recommend downloading and inspecting the JSON data, as you will need to write SQL pertinent to this data to create your Redshift Spectrum tables.

  2. Challenge

    Create the Redshift Spectrum Tables

    Using either the Redshift web console query editor or the client of your choosing, create the five requested Redshift Spectrum tables.

    On the Connect to database window, fill in the connection details: * For Connection, ensure Create a new connection is selected. * For Authentication, ensure Temporary credentials is selected. * Use the Cluster dropdown to select users-cluster (Available). * In the Database name field, enter users. * In the Database user field, enter users_admin.

  3. Challenge

    Test Your Newly Created Redshift Spectrum Tables

    Using either the Redshift web console query editor or the client of your choosing, run the supplied test query to ensure your tables are correctly formed and it is possible to perform joins between them.
