Amazon Redshift
Amazon Redshift is an Internet hosting service and data warehouse product which forms part of the larger cloud-computing platform Amazon Web Services. It is built on top of technology from the massive parallel processing (MPP) data-warehouse company ParAccel (later acquired by Actian).[1] Redshift differs from Amazon's other hosted database offering, Amazon RDS, in its ability to handle analytics workloads on big data data sets stored by a column-oriented DBMS principle. To be able to handle large scale data sets and database migrations[2] Amazon makes use of massive parallel processing.
Amazon Redshift is based on PostgreSQL 8.0.2. PostgreSQL 9.x includes features not supported in Amazon Redshift. In addition, there are important differences between Amazon Redshift SQL and PostgreSQL 8.0.2.[3] PostgreSQL 8.0.2 was released in 2005 and PostgreSQL has seen massive development since then. Many PostgreSQL features are not supported.[4]
Business intelligence tools
In principle, Amazon Redshift can handle all connections from other applications based upon ODBC and JDBC connections.[5] Amazon has listed a number of business intelligence software propietors as partners and tested tools in their APN Partner program.[6]
