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

File compression parameters
You can load from compressed data files by specifying the following parameters.
File compression parameters

A value that specifies that the input file or files are in compressed bzip2 format (.bz2 files). The COPY operation reads each compressed file and uncompresses the data as it loads.
- GZIP
-
A value that specifies that the input file or files are in compressed gzip format (.gz files). The COPY operation reads each compressed file and uncompresses the data as it loads.
- LZOP
-
A value that specifies that the input file or files are in compressed lzop format (.lzo files). The COPY operation reads each compressed file and uncompresses the data as it loads.
Note
COPY doesn't support files that are compressed using the lzop --filter option.
