SELECT

    CAST(column_4 AS VARCHAR(255)) || ',' || 
    CAST(column_5 AS VARCHAR(255)) || ',' || 
    CAST(column_6 AS VARCHAR(255)) AS column_14 
FROM "table_name_here"

Answer 1

As far as I recall IICS adds some statement to your query, like the ORDER BY clause. With your query having the semicolon (;) at the end, this results in an error.

Answer 2

Error was caused by having the limit 10; Once I removed this, the query worked. Another work around I found was by creating a view in redshift and select * from that view.
