The COPY command reads and loads data in parallel from a file or multiple files in an S3 bucket. You can take maximum advantage of parallel processing by splitting your data into multiple files, in cases where the files are compressed. The COPY command appends the new input data to any existing rows in the target table. The COPY command can load data from Amazon S3 for the file formats AVRO, CSV, JSON, and TXT, and for columnar format files such as ORC and Parquet. In situations when the contiguous fields are missing at the end of some of the records for data files being loaded, COPY reports an error indicating that there is mismatch between the number of fields in the file being loaded and the number of columns in the target table. In some situations, columnar files (such as Parquet) that are produced by applications and ingested into Amazon Redshift via COPY may have additional fields added to the files (and new columns to the target Amazon Redshift table) over time. In such cases, these files may have values absent for certain newly added fields. To load these files, you previously had to either preprocess the files to fill up values in the missing fields before loading the files using the COPY command, or use Amazon Redshift Spectrum to read the files from Amazon S3 and then use INSERT INTO to load data into the Amazon Redshift table. #Parquet to redshift data types how to#.
