Migrating Data from Redshift to Vertica: Best Practices

DieterC

Hi forum,

a Vertica (and Redshift) client is looking for best practices to migrate database tables from Redshift to Vertica.
What can we recommend please?
What experience do have available?

Thank you
Dieter

Hi,

I haven't tried this. But to me, it looks like the best approach will be to unload data to S3 using unload() function (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_unloading_data.html) and then using COPY command load data to Vertica (https://my.vertica.com/docs/8.1.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/AdministratorsGuide/BulkLoadCOPY/AWSLibrary/importAWSlibrary.htm).
