Amazon Redshift ADO.NET Provider

Standard ADO.NET Access to Redshift

The Amazon Redshift ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access Redshift data from any .NET application. Simply use Amazon Redshift Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the Amazon Redshift Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Amazon Redshift hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The Amazon Redshift Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including: RedshiftConnection, RedshiftCommand, RedshiftDataAdapter, RedshiftDataReader, RedshiftDataSource, RedshiftParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access Redshift data in an easy, familiar way.

For example:

using (RedshiftConnection conn = new RedshiftConnection("...")) {
	string select = "SELECT * FROM RedshiftTable";
	RedshiftCommand cmd = new RedshiftCommand(select, conn);
	RedshiftDataAdapter adapter = new RedshiftDataAdapter(cmd);
	using (adapter) {
		DataTable table = new DataTable();
		adapter.Fill(table);		
		...
	}
}

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

Amazon Redshift Data Provider goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the Amazon Redshift Data Provider as easily as interacting with a database table.

using (RedshiftConnection connection = new RedshiftConnection(connectionString)) {
	RedshiftDataAdapter dataAdapter = new RedshiftDataAdapter(
	"SELECT Id, Where FROM RedshiftTable", connection);
  
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand = new RedshiftCommand(
		"UPDATE RedshiftTable SET Where = @Where " +
		"WHERE Id = @ID", connection);

	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Where", "Where");
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", "80000173-1387137645");

	DataTable RedshiftTableTable = new DataTable();
	dataAdapter.Fill(RedshiftTableTable);

	DataRow firstrow = RedshiftTableTable.Rows[0];
	firstrow["Where"] = "New Location";

	dataAdapter.Update(RedshiftTableTable);
}
