Zoho DataPrep supports importing data from Amazon Athena, a cloud database. Athena is an interactive query service that helps you analyze unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
To import data from Amazon Athena
1.
Create a pipeline or open an existing pipeline from the Home Page, Pipelines tab or Workspaces tab and click the Add data option. You can also click the Import data option under the Workspaces tab to import data. Info: You can also click the Import data icon at the top of the pipeline builder and bring data from multiple sources into the pipeline.
2. Choose the Cloud databases category from the left pane and click Amazon Athena. You can also search Amazon Athena in the search box.
Note: If you have already added an Athena connection, choose the required connection under the Saved connections category and proceed to import. To learn more about Saved connections, click here.
3. Select Amazon Athena in the Database service name dropdown.
4. Enter the AWS region of the Athena database which you wish to connect to and the Database name.
5. Provide the path of Amazon S3 location where you want to store the query results. The path should be prefixed with S3.
6. Enter the Database name, Connection name, username, and password to authenticate the database connection.
Note: The Connection name must be unique for each connection.
7. Click the Connect button.
Note: The connection configuration will be saved for importing data in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored.
8. Select the tables that need to be imported.
9. You can also use SQL query to select and import data.
10. Click Import to begin importing data from your Athena account.
Info: We do not support exporting data to Amazon Athena.
