  port = NULL,
  dbname = NULL,
  engine = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

user, pwd, host, port, dbname, ...

named parameters passed on to DBI::dbConnect. Note that the user and pwd are for your AWS IAM account; and the same as those you used to create the cluster with aws_db_redshift_create()

id

(character) Cluster identifier. If you supply id, we'll fetch host, port, and dbname. If id is not supplied. you have to supply host, port, and dbname. Refer to this parameter definition in aws_db_redshift_create() for more details.

engine

(character) The engine to use. optional if user, pwd, and id are supplied - otherwise required

Value

an S4 object that inherits from DBIConnection

Details

RDS supports many databases, but we only provide support for MariaDB, MySQL, and Postgres

If the engine you've chosen for your RDS instance is not supported with this function, you can likely connect to it on your own
