Load data into a Redshift cluster using the Copy Command
AWS Redshift is AWS's analytical database engine. In this lab, you'll learn how to efficiently load CSV flat files from Amazon S3 into an Amazon Redshift table. You'll start by connecting to a Redshift cluster, and creating a target table. Then, you'll use the AWS Management Console to upload sample CSV files to an S3 bucket. Next, you'll explore the COPY command, a powerful Redshift feature for bulk loading data. You'll write and execute a COPY command to transfer the data from S3 into your Redshift table, learning about important parameters to adjust the load to the file format. Finally, you'll verify the data load by querying the Redshift table and then loading metadata.
