ODBC driver options - Amazon Redshift
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).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

ODBC driver options

You can use configuration options to control the behavior of the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver.

In Microsoft Windows, you typically set driver options when you configure a data source name (DSN). You can also set driver options in the connection string when you connect programmatically, or by adding or changing registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\your_DSN. For more information about configuring a DSN, see Using an Amazon Redshift ODBC driver on Microsoft Windows.

In macOS X, you set driver configuration options in your odbc.ini and amazon.redshiftodbc.ini files, as described in Use an ODBC driver manager to configure the driver. Configuration options set in an amazon.redshiftodbc.ini file apply to all connections. In contrast, configuration options set in an odbc.ini file are specific to a connection. Configuration options set in odbc.ini take precedence over configuration options set in amazon.redshiftodbc.ini.

For information about how to set up ODBC driver configuration options, see the Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide. In the China Amazon Region, use the following link: Amazon Redshift ODBC connector installation and configuration guide
