Driver

See Adding to the classpath for details on how to add the driver to Flyway

Java Usage

Redshift support is a separate dependency for Flyway and will need to be added to your Java project to access these features. Redshift is found within the flyway-database-redshift plugin module.

}

SQL Script Syntax

• Standard SQL syntax with statement delimiter ;
• Stored procedures (CREATE FUNCTION with $$ escapes)

Compatibility

• DDL exported by pg_dump can be used unchanged in a Flyway migration. Please note that Redshift does not support exporting data using pg_dump, so you must export only the schema, using pg_dump -s.
• Any Redshift SQL script executed by Flyway, can be executed by the PostgreSQL command-line tool and other PostgreSQL-compatible tools, such as SQL Workbench/J (after the placeholders have been replaced).

Example

/* Single line comment */
CREATE TABLE test_data (
  test_id INT IDENTITY NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  value VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL
);

/*
Multi-line
comment
*/
INSERT INTO test_data (value) VALUES ('Hello');

CREATE VIEW value_only AS SELECT value FROM test_data;

CREATE TABLE another_table AS SELECT 'some-data' as name;

CREATE FUNCTION add(integer, integer) RETURNS integer
     IMMUTABLE
    AS $$
    select $1 + $2;
$$ LANGUAGE sql;

-- Placeholder
INSERT INTO ${tableName} (name) VALUES ('Mr. T');

Limitations

Due to Redshift limitations ALTER TABLE and DROP TABLE for external tables can't run within a transaction, yet Flyway doesn't autodetect this. You can work around this limitation and successfully execute such a statement by including a VACUUM statement in the same SQL file as this will force Flyway to run the entire migration without a transaction.
