Responsys to Amazon Redshift Integration

How Datrise loads Responsys into Amazon Redshift

Datrise syncs Responsys's contacts, campaigns, launches, message events, lists, and profile extensions into Amazon Redshift as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in SUPER columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as TIMESTAMPTZ.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses COPY from staged files, then a delete-and-insert merge on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. A DISTKEY on the join id and a SORTKEY on the load timestamp. Redshift performance hinges on dist/sort keys, so Datrise picks them from your entity ids and sync timestamps rather than defaulting to EVEN distribution.

Ideal for AWS-native warehouses already using the Redshift ecosystem.

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Responsys's custom fields in Amazon Redshift?

Flexible values are stored as SUPER columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Amazon Redshift types.

How does the Responsys to Amazon Redshift sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses COPY from staged files, then a delete-and-insert merge on stable id.
