Amazon Redshift

Now supports templates for the COPY command, allowing you to store and reuse frequently used COPY parameters. This new feature enables you to create reusable templates that contain commonly utilized formatting parameters, eliminating the need to manually specify parameters for each COPY operation.

Templates help maintain consistency across data ingestion operations that use the COPY command. They also reduce the time and effort required to execute COPY commands. You can create standardized configurations for different file types and data sources, ensuring consistent parameter usage across your teams and reducing the likelihood of errors caused by manual input. When parameters need to be updated, changes to the template automatically apply to all future uses, simplifying maintenance and improving operational efficiency.

Support for templates for the COPY command is available in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, where Amazon Redshift is available.
