Posted on: Dec 19, 2025

Amazon Redshift ODBC 2.x driver now supports Apple macOS, expanding platform compatibility for developers and analysts. This enhancement allows Apple macOS users to connect to Amazon Redshift clusters using the latest Amazon Redshift ODBC 2.x driver version. You can use an ODBC connection to connect to your Amazon Redshift cluster from many third-party SQL client tools and applications.

The Amazon Redshift ODBC 2.x native driver support enables you to access Amazon Redshift features such as data sharing write capabilities and Amazon IAM Identity Center integration - features that are only available through Amazon Redshift drivers. This native Apple macOS support enables seamless integration with Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) and Business Intelligence (BI) tools, allowing you to use Apple macOS while accessing the full suite of Amazon Redshift capabilities.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest Amazon Redshift ODBC 2.x driver version to access new features. For installation instructions and system requirements, please see the Amazon Redshift ODBC 2.x driver documentation.
