Does Athena support insert?
Athena writes files to source data locations in Amazon S3 as a result of the INSERT command. Each INSERT operation creates a new file, rather than appending to an existing file.
Does Athena support insert overwrite?
First, Athena doesn't allow you to create an external table on S3 and then write to it with INSERT INTO or INSERT OVERWRITE . Thus, you can't script where your output files are placed. More unsupported SQL statements are listed here. Next, the Athena UI only allowed one statement to be run at once.
How do I add a partition in Athena?
Athena can also use non-Hive style partitioning schemes. For example, CloudTrail logs and Kinesis Data Firehose delivery streams use separate path components for date parts such as data/2021/01/26/us/6fc7845e. json . For such non-Hive style partitions, you use ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION to add the partitions manually.
