Known Issues in Build 4.7.0.2454
Severity | Reference | Description | Workaround |
---|---|---|---|
Major | WPD-542 | After a user generates DDL for a table with interleaved sort keys, Workbench incorrectly shows the number of sort keys in the Sort Keys node in the Object Browser or generates an error when the user attempts to expand the node. | Manually update the generated DDL with the correct keys. |
Moderate | APD-4093 | Import of a file from the S3 file explorer fails because invalid data types are set for the columns in the file. | Set all column data types as VARCHAR and re-import the file. |
Moderate | APD-3788 | The Abort feature in Redshift Workbench does not terminate a query that is currently running. | Use the SQL at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_CANCEL.html to find the process ID of the running query and cancel it. |
Moderate | WPD-693 | A user gets an error when trying to create new code snippets or modify existing ones. | N/A. |
Moderate | WPD-680 | Workbench generates invalid DDL when a user selects the Change Sort Keys command in the Object Browser. | N/A |
Minor | APD-4090 | If you begin a download using a file system explorer (such as Amazon S3) and abort the download, a small portion of the file remains on your target system. | Manually delete the file on your target system. |
Trivial | APD-3711 | When the field type is Date, the year 0 (for example, 0000-01-01) causes an error “Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.” | Either cast the date as a VARCHAR or do not use the year 0. |
