1) Download the script
wget --no-check-certificate https://gist.github.com/shantanuo/5011482/raw/fb7fce38c2a4d296c67db715e02167caee8c79bf/mysql_to_redshift.sh

2) change the passwords
sed -i 's_XYZ_accesskey_' mysql_to_redshift.sh

sed -i 's_ABC_secretkey_' mysql_to_redshift.sh

sed -i 's_PASSWD_Root1234_' mysql_to_redshift.sh

// remove the limit of 1000 rows
sed -i 's/limit 1000//' mysql_to_redshift.sh

3) run the script with DB_name TBL_name
time sh -xv mysql_to_redshift.sh test email_lists

This script is awesome, thanks!
