Use a COPY command to load data - Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

Use a COPY command to load data

The COPY command loads data in parallel from Amazon S3, Amazon EMR, Amazon DynamoDB, or multiple data sources on remote hosts. COPY loads large amounts of data much more efficiently than using INSERT statements, and stores the data more effectively as well.

For more information about using the COPY command, see Loading data from Amazon S3 and Loading data from an Amazon DynamoDB table.
