Reloading unloaded data

To reload the results of an unload operation, you can use a COPY command.

The following example shows a simple case in which the VENUE table is unloaded using a manifest file, truncated, and reloaded.

unload  ('select * from venue order by venueid')
to 's3://mybucket/tickit/venue/reload_' 
iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/MyRedshiftRole' 
manifest 
delimiter '|';

truncate venue;

copy venue 
from 's3://mybucket/tickit/venue/reload_manifest' 
iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/MyRedshiftRole'
manifest 
delimiter '|';

After it is reloaded, the VENUE table looks like this:

select * from venue order by venueid limit 5;

 venueid |         venuename         |  venuecity  | venuestate | venueseats

       4 | CommunityAmerica Ballpark | Kansas City | KS         |          0
       5 | Gillette Stadium          | Foxborough  | MA         |      68756
