sqlalchemy-redshift

Amazon Redshift dialect for SQLAlchemy.

Travis CI build status

Installation

The package is available on PyPI:

pip install sqlalchemy-redshift

Warning

This dialect requires psycopg2 library to work properly. It does not provide it as required, but relies on you to select the psycopg2 distribution you need:

  • psycopg2 - standard distribution of psycopg2, requires compilation so few system dependencies are required for it
  • psycopg2-binary - already compiled distribution (no system dependencies are required)
  • psycopg2cffi - pypy compatible version

See Psycopg2's binary install docs for more context on choosing a distribution.

Usage

The DSN format is similar to that of regular Postgres:

>>> import sqlalchemy as sa
>>> sa.create_engine('redshift+psycopg2://username@host.amazonaws.com:5439/database')
Engine(redshift+psycopg2://username@host.amazonaws.com:5439/database)

See the RedshiftDDLCompiler documentation for details on Redshift-specific features the dialect supports.

Releasing

You will need to have a ~/.pypirc with your PyPI credentials and also the following settings:

[zest.releaser]

To perform a release, run the following:

python3.6 -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/dist
workon dist
