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://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/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.
