Can we join tables in Athena?
Athena Federated Query Athena uses data source connectors that run on AWS Lambda to run federated queries. A data source connector is a piece of code that translates between your target data source and Athena. You can combine SQL statements from multiple catalogs and span multiple data sources with a single query.
Why you should not use DynamoDB?
Firstly, writes to DynamoDB are very expensive. Secondly, strongly consistent reads are twice the cost of eventually consistent reads. And thirdly, workloads performing scans can quickly get cost prohibitive. This is because the read capacity units actually take the number of bytes read into account.
Can Athena query RDS?
Configure RDS as Data Source. You configure PostgreSQL RDS instance as the data source for Amazon Athena so that you can query RDS data from the Athena Query Editor. Goto Athena Management console and click on Data sources link.
Can Athena connect to redshift?
Athena natively supports the AWS Glue Data Catalog. The AWS Glue Data Catalog is a data catalog built on top of other datasets and data sources such as Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon DynamoDB. You can also connect Athena to other data sources by using a variety of connectors.
How do I join Athena?
Joining Tables
- Open the AWS Management Console for Athena and make sure you are on the same AWS Region.
- Choose the {curated database} from the dropdown menu and execute CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE query. Replace any curly braces – {} – with your actual values:
How do I run multiple queries in Athena?
Use the WITH clause to execute multiple select statements at the same time: Use the WITH clause to define one or more subqueries. Each subquery defines a temporary table, similar to a view definition. Use WITH clause subqueries to efficiently define tables that you can use throughout the execution of a single query.
Is DynamoDB Faster than RDS?
As for Amazon DynamoDB, well, it’s a fully-managed database for unstructured data (NoSQL). It is a great solution for unstructured data as opposed to RDS which is meant for well-structured data but we’ll get into all of that below. DynamoDB is a key-value database that is EXTREMELY fast.
Is DynamoDB faster than S3?
DynamoDB is designed for low latency and sustained usage patterns. If the average item is relatively small, especially if items are less than 4KB, DynamoDB is significantly faster than S3 for individual operations. Although DynamoDB can scale on demand, it does not do that as quickly as S3.
Can Athena query glacier?
Athena does not support querying data from the GLACIER storage class. For more information, see Requirements for Tables in Athena and Data in Amazon S3 and Transitioning to the GLACIER Storage Class (Object Archival) in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
Can Athena query MySQL?
Federated Query in Amazon Athena. AWS has open-sourced Athena Data Source connectors for Amazon DynamoDB, Apache HBase, Amazon DocumentDB, Amazon Redshift, Amazon CloudWatch Logs, AWS CloudWatch Metrics, and JDBC-compliant relational data sources such MySQL, and PostgreSQL under the Apache 2.0 license.
Can Athena query Kinesis?
Normally, to use Athena to query Kinesis Data Firehose data without using partition projection, you create a table for Kinesis Data Firehose logs in Athena. Then you must add partitions to your table in the AWS Glue Data Catalog every hour when Kinesis Data Firehose creates a partition.
Does spectrum use Athena?
Both Spectrum and Athena use virtual tables when querying data stored on Amazon S3. This is done using the Glue Data Catalog for schema management. Athena is designed to work directly with table metadata stored in the Glue Data Catalog.
