Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Loading compressed data files from Amazon S3

To load data files that are compressed using gzip, lzop, or bzip2, include the corresponding option: GZIP, LZOP, or BZIP2.

For example, the following command loads from files that were compressing using lzop.

copy customer from 's3://mybucket/customer.lzo' 
iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/MyRedshiftRole'
delimiter '|' lzop;
Note

If you compress a data file with lzop compression and use the --filter option, the COPY command doesn't support it.
