Loading data into a database

You can use query editor v2 to load data into a database in an Amazon Redshift cluster or workgroup. This section covers how to load sample data, data from S3, and data from a local file setup and workflow.

Sample data

The query editor v2 comes with sample data and notebooks available to be loaded into a sample database and corresponding schema.

To load sample data, choose the External icon associated with the sample data you want to load. The query editor v2 then loads the data into a schema in database sample_data_dev and creates a folder of saved notebooks.

The following sample datasets are available.

tickit

Most of the examples in the Amazon Redshift documentation use sample data called tickit. This data consists of seven tables: two fact tables and five dimensions. When you load this data, the schema tickit is updated with sample data. For more information about the tickit data, see Sample database in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.

tpch

This data is used for a decision support benchmark. When you load this data, the schema tpch is updated with sample data. For more information about the tpch data, see TPC-H.

tpcds

This data is used for a decision support benchmark. When you load this data, the schema tpcds is updated with sample data. For more information about the tpcds data, see TPC-DS.
