Integrating the Python connector with pandas - 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 use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

Integrating the Python connector with pandas

Following is an example of integrating the Python connector with pandas.

>>> import pandas

#Connect to the cluster
>>> import redshift_connector
>>> conn = redshift_connector.connect(
     host='examplecluster.abc123xyz789.us-west-1.redshift.amazonaws.com',
     port=5439,
     database='dev',
     user='awsuser',
     password='my_password'
  )
  
# Create a Cursor object
>>> cursor = conn.cursor()

# Query and receive result set
cursor.execute("select * from book")
result: pandas.DataFrame = cursor.fetch_dataframe()
print(result)
