Querying Redshift Spectrum Data

Query Immuta-protected data in Redshift Spectrum

This guide is specific to querying data sources registered in the Amazon Redshift Spectrum integration. For instructions on how to query data registered in the Amazon Redshift integration, see the Accessing data page.

Prerequisites:

• Redshift Spectrum integration configured with Immuta

• Redshift tables registered as Immuta data sources

• REVOKE users' access to raw tables

Query data

1. Use your tool of choice to connect to Redshift.

2. Select the Immuta database name used when configuring the integration.

3. Query the Immuta-protected data, which takes the form of immuta_database.backing_schema.table_name:

   1. Immuta Database: The Immuta database name used when configuring the integration.

   2. Backing Schema: The schema that houses the backing tables of your Immuta data sources.

   3. Table Name: The name of the table backing your Immuta data sources.

4. Run your query (it is recommended that you use the catalog in the query). It should look something like this:

   select * from immuta_database.backing_schema.table_name limit 100
