Amazon Athena - Automatic Data Lineage

What to expect​

Views​

Dataedo uses the built-in PostgresSQL Parser to analyze script of Amazon Athena views, and build column-level lineage from objects queried on a table to view basis.

File to Table​

Dataedo builds object-level lineage between S3 files and Athena tables.

Known Limitations​

  1. Check the limitations for views lineage from PostgreSQL parser

Troubleshooting​

I can't see data lineage for views​

  1. Make sure you have selected the right SQL dialect - in this case, PostgreSQL (SQL Dialect field at Data Source level).
  2. Rerun import of the source - maybe the schema was imported in an older version or the configuration was incorrect.

  2. Check if path used in table creation script is same as path in imported file
