Load CSV into Redshift, with header?

amazon-redshift, amazon-web-services, csv, etl

Solution

Use the `IGNOREHEADER 1` option when using the `COPY` command:

IGNOREHEADER [ AS ] number_rows

Treats the specified number_rows as a file header and does not load them. Use IGNOREHEADER to skip file headers in all files in a parallel load.

See: Amazon Redshift `COPY` command documentation

Problem

Is there an option to load a CSV into Redshift with a header? I see the documentation for CSV but it says nothing about a header. Ideally it could use the header to determine the columns to load.
