Configuring an ODBC driver version 1.x connection

You can use an ODBC connection to connect to your Amazon Redshift cluster from many third-party SQL client tools and applications. To do this, set up the connection on your client computer or Amazon EC2 instance. If your client tool supports JDBC, you might choose to use that type of connection rather than ODBC due to the ease of configuration that JDBC provides. However, if your client tool doesn't support JDBC, follow the steps in this section to configure an ODBC connection.

Amazon Redshift provides 64-bit ODBC drivers for Linux, Windows, and macOS X operating systems. The 32-bit ODBC drivers are discontinued. Further updates will not be released, except for urgent security patches.
