If you are a first-time user of Amazon Redshift Serverless, we

recommend that you read the following sections to help you get
started using Amazon Redshift Serverless. The basic flow of Amazon
Redshift Serverless is to create serverless resources, connect to Amazon
Redshift Serverless, load sample data, and then run queries on the
data. In this guide, you can choose to load sample data from Amazon
Redshift Serverless or from an Amazon S3 bucket.

• Signing up for AWS (#serverless-prereq-signup)

• Creating a data warehouse with Amazon Redshift Serverless
(#serverless-console-resource-creation)

• Loading in data from Amazon S3 (#serverless-load-data-from-s3)

Signing up for AWS

If you don't already have an AWS account, sign up for one. If you
already have an account, you can skip this prerequisite and use your
existing account.

1. Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
(https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup) .

2. Follow the online instructions.

When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is
created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources
in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative
access to an administrative user (https://docs.aws.amazon.com
/singlesignon/latest/userguide/getting-started.html) , and use only the
root user to perform tasks that require root user access
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/root-user-

tasks.html) .

Creating a data warehouse with Amazon

Redshift Serverless
The first time you log in to the Amazon Redshift Serverless console,
you are prompted to access the getting started experience, which you
can use to create and manage serverless resources. In this guide, you'll
create serverless resources using Amazon Redshift Serverless's default
settings.

For more granular control of your setup, choose Customize settings.

To configure with default settings:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon

Redshift console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2/
(https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2/) .

Choose Try Amazon Redshift Serverless.

2. Under Configuration, choose Use default settings. Amazon
Redshift Serverless creates a default namespace with a default
workgroup associated to this namespace. Choose Save
configuration.
The following screenshot shows the default settings for Amazon
Redshift Serverless.

3. After setup completes, choose Continue to go to your Serverless

dashboard. You can see that the serverless workgroup and
namespace are available.

Loading sample data

Now that you've set up your data warehouse with Amazon Redshift
Serverless, you can use the Amazon Redshift query editor v2 to load
sample data.

1. To launch query editor v2 from the Amazon Redshift Serverless

console, choose Query data. When you invoke query editor v2
from the Amazon Redshift Serverless console, a new browser tab
opens with the query editor. The query editor v2 connects from
your client machine to the Amazon Redshift Serverless
environment.

2. If you're launching query editor v2 for the first time, you must
configure AWS KMS encryption before you can proceed. Optionally,
you can also specify the URI to an S3 bucket for data loading later.
After doing so, choose Configure account.

To learn more about configuring the query editor v2, including

which permissions are needed, see Configuring your AWS account
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/query-editor-v2-
getting-started.html) in the Amazon Redshift Management Guide.

3. To connect to a workgroup, choose the workgroup name in the

tree-view panel.

4. When connecting to a new workgroup for the first time within

query editor v2, you must select the type of authentication to use
to connect to the workgroup. For this guide, leave Federated user
selected, and choose Create connection.

Once you are connected, you can choose to load sample data from
Amazon Redshift Serverless or from an Amazon S3 bucket.
5. Under the Amazon Redshift Serverless default workgroup, expand
the sample_data_dev database. There are three sample schemas
corresponding to three sample datasets that you can load into the
Amazon Redshift Serverless database. Choose the sample dataset
that you want to load, and choose Open sample notebooks.

6. When loading data for the first time, query editor v2 will prompt
you to create a sample database. Choose Create.

Running sample queries

After setting up Amazon Redshift Serverless, you can start using a
sample dataset in Amazon Redshift Serverless. Amazon Redshift
Serverless automatically loads the sample dataset, such as the tickit

Amazon Redshift Serverless - Amazon Redshift https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/gsg/new-user-serverless.html

dataset, and you can immediately query the data.

• Once Amazon Redshift Serverless finishes loading the sample data,

all of the sample queries are loaded in the editor. You can choose
Run all to run all of the queries from the sample notebooks.

You can also export the results as a JSON or CSV file or view the
results in a chart.

You can also load data from an Amazon S3 bucket. See Loading in data
from Amazon S3 (#serverless-load-data-from-s3) to learn more.

Loading in data from Amazon S3

After creating your data warehouse, you can load data from Amazon
S3.

At this point, you have a database named dev . Next, you will create
some tables in the database, upload data to the tables, and try a query.
For your convenience, the sample data that you load is available in an
Amazon S3 bucket.

1. Before you can load data from Amazon S3, you must first create an
IAM role with the necessary permissions and attach it to your

Amazon Redshift Serverless - Amazon Redshift https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/gsg/new-user-serverless.html

serverless namespace. To do so, choose Namespace configuration

from the navigation menu, and then choose Security and
encryption. Then, choose Manage IAM roles.

2. Expand the Manage IAM roles menu, and choose Create IAM role.

3. Choose the level of S3 bucket access that you want to grant to this
role, and choose Create IAM role as default.

4. Choose Save changes. You can now load sample data from
Amazon S3.

The following steps use data within a public Amazon Redshift S3

bucket, but you can replicate the same steps using your own S3 bucket
and SQL commands.

Load sample data from Amazon S3

1. In query editor v2, choose Add, then choose Notebook to

create a new SQL notebook.

2. Switch to the dev database.

Amazon Redshift Serverless - Amazon Redshift https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/gsg/new-user-serverless.html

3. Create tables.
If you are using the query editor v2, copy and run the following
create table statements to create tables in the dev database. For
more information about the syntax, see CREATE TABLE
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest
/dg/r_CREATE_TABLE_NEW.html) in the Amazon Redshift Database
Developer Guide.

create table users(

userid integer not null distkey sortkey,
username char(8),
firstname varchar(30),
lastname varchar(30),

create table event(

eventid integer not null distkey,
venueid smallint not null,
catid smallint not null,
dateid smallint not null sortkey,
eventname varchar(200),

starttime timestamp);

create table sales(

salesid integer not null,
listid integer not null distkey,
sellerid integer not null,
buyerid integer not null,
eventid integer not null,
dateid smallint not null sortkey,
qtysold smallint not null,
pricepaid decimal(8,2),
commission decimal(8,2),
saletime timestamp);

4. In the query editor v2, create a new SQL cell in your notebook.

5. Now use the COPY command in query editor v2 to load large

datasets from Amazon S3 or Amazon DynamoDB into Amazon
Redshift. For more information about COPY syntax, see COPY
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_COPY.html) in the
Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.
You can run the COPY command with some sample data available
in a public S3 bucket. Run the following SQL commands in the
query editor v2.

COPY users
FROM 's3://redshift-downloads/tickit
/allusers_pipe.txt'
DELIMITER '|'
TIMEFORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS'
IGNOREHEADER 1
REGION 'us-east-1'
IAM_ROLE default;

/sales_tab.txt'
DELIMITER '\t'
TIMEFORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS'
IGNOREHEADER 1
REGION 'us-east-1'
IAM_ROLE default;

6. After loading data, create another SQL cell in your notebook and
try some example queries. For more information on working with
the SELECT command, see SELECT (https://docs.aws.amazon.com
/redshift/latest/dg/r_SELECT_synopsis.html) in the Amazon Redshift
