Loading compressed data files from Amazon S3 - Amazon Redshift

Loading compressed data files from Amazon S3

To load data files that are compressed using gzip, lzop, or bzip2, include the corresponding option: GZIP, LZOP, or BZIP2.

COPY does not support files compressed using the lzop --filter option.

For example, the following command loads from files that were compressing using lzop.

copy customer from 's3://mybucket/customer.lzo' iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/MyRedshiftRole' delimiter '|' lzop;
