# AWS Redshift

## **Configuration**

### Prerequisites

If your database is hosted behind a Firewall, you need to add our [IP addresses](/concepts/data-sources.md#whitelisting-ip-addresses) to the Firewall whitelist.

### Connecting the data source

To connect your Redshift database, follow the steps below:

1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *AWS Redshift* in the Data sources list.
2. Specify all the required credentials and test the connection.
3. If successful, proceed to connecting the data source to complete the setup.

If you need to be able to override the default data source database with a custom value in the action, you can enable the **Allow override database name in action** setting in the *Data source connection* windo&#x77;**.** \
Once enabled, you will be able to specify a custom database when configuring an action. In case a database is not specified, the default data source database will be used.

## Usage

Once you have established the connection between UI Bakery and your Redshift database, you can start interacting with its data.

To manage data from AWS Redshift, you can use the [SQL Query](/reference/working-with-actions/sql-query.md) action step.

Note that pre-defined actions, such as *Load Table*, *Create Row*, etc. are NOT supported with this datasource.
