Use this account type to connect Redshift Snaps with data sources.

Prerequisites

Access to the following folders:

  • Private project folder
  • Project Space’s shared folder
  • Global shared folder

Limitations

The default JDBC URL jdbc:postgre:://<hostname>:<port>/<db> does not work, because it is not compatible with JDBC 2.x drivers. If you are using 2.x version of Amazon Redshift drivers, you must explicitly provide the JDBC URL as shown:
jdbc:redshift://<hostname>:<port>/<db> to configure the account successfully.

Known Issues

None.
