Google Cloud Storage Parameters

Use the following parameters to configure reading from Google Cloud Storage (GCS) using COPY FROM. For more information about reading data from S3, see Specifying COPY FROM Options.

Query system table CONFIGURATION_PARAMETERS to determine what levels (node, session, database) are valid for a given parameter.

Parameter Description
GCSAuth

An ID and secret key to authenticate to GCS. You can set parameters globally and for the current session with ALTER DATABASE…SET PARAMETER and ALTER SESSION…SET PARAMETER, respectively. For extra security, do not store credentials in the database; instead, set it for the current session with ALTER SESSION. For example:

=> ALTER SESSION SET GCSAuth='ID:secret';

If you use a shared credential, set it in the database with ALTER DATABASE.

GCSEnableHttps

Whether to use the HTTPS protocol when connecting to GCS.

Default: 1 (enabled)

GCSEndpoint

The connection endpoint address.

Default: storage.googleapis.com
