I get this error when I try to load redshift database from ddl. Also, there is no option for Redshift, so i chose postgreSQL.

Parse error at line 15, column 32. Encountered: ENCODE

The ddl was generated with help of this [amazon-redshift-utils/src/AdminViews at master · awslabs/amazon-redshift-utils · GitHub](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-redshift-utils/tree/master/src/AdminViews)

Thank you for your inquiry and I’m sorry that currently we do not support reverse Redshift’s DDL into ER model. For Redshift we only support directly reverse from DB. I’m sorry about our limitation.
