What happens when you connect

When you connect Redshift to Internal, we'll generate the following for you automatically:

  1. A list, insert, update, and delete function for each table in the database (if the connecting user account has these privileges). List functions read data from your tables and allow you to display that data in components - think of these as prebuilt SQL queries, so you don't have to write queries for everything.

📘

Note:

Functions will not be generated if no primary keys are found in the connected database.

Filtering and Sorting

While Internal enables filtering and sorting on all columns, we recommend indexing columns on large tables to improve performance.

Permissions

Internal requires SELECT permissions in the pg_catalog schema in order to load your database schema information. We currently use the following tables:

  • pg_attrdef
  • pg_attribute
  • pg_class
  • pg_constraint
  • pg_depend
  • pg_namespace
