Connect Stata with Amazon Web Service S3

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21766741

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way to load data sets I have on my AWS - S3 account into Stata directly. I found that in R there is the AWS.tools package, but I have not found something similar for Stata.

Is there an .ado or something I can use?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can install the AWS command line interface and shell out from Stata to use it to transfer files to and from Amazon S3. Not very convenient, but workable.

The alternative is to run R from within Stata, which seems clunkier.
