How to connect to a cluster in Amazon Redshift using SQLAlchemy?

Question

In Amazon Redshift\'s Getting Started Guide, it\'s mentioned that you can utilize SQL client tools that are compatible with PostgreSQL to connect to your Amazon Redshift Clu

Answer 1

I don't think SQL Alchemy "natively" knows about Redshift. You need to change the JDBC "URL" string to use postgres.

jdbc:postgres://shippy.cx6x1vnxlk55.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com:5439/shippy

Alternatively, you may want to try using sqlalchemy-redshift using the instructions they provide.
