Amazon Redshift announces Query Editor to run queries directly from the AWS Management Console

Posted on: Oct 4, 2018

You can now query data in your Amazon Redshift cluster directly from your AWS Management console, using the new Query Editor. This provides an easier way for admins and end users to run SQL queries without having to install and setup an external JDBC/ODBC client. Query results are instantly visible within the console.

With the Query Editor's Saved Queries feature, you can save your most commonly run queries and have them conveniently available the next time you need them. You can also view the time taken in every step of query execution with View Execution button to isolate bottlenecks and optimize the query. Finally, you can easily export the results of your query with the Download CSV button for further analysis. 

To learn how to use the Query Editor, see the Query Editor documentation in Amazon Redshift at Cluster Management Guide

Query Editor is now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (Sao Paulo), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Ireland), EU (London), EU (Paris), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka).
