Hi Ted, yes BeakerX has a SQL kernel, though it is still beta.

I believe you can add RedShift drivers by copying the jar(s) into the right
directory (something like
$prefix/lib/python3.6/site-packages/beakerx/static/kernel/sql/lib), and
then using the %defaultDatasource magic (BeakerX has dynamic loading of
jars via a %classpath magic, but unfortunately the driver manager does not
support custom classloaders, so that doesn't work for adding jdbc drivers,
see https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx/issues/6223).

To avoid all that, we should include all the common free drivers by
default. I'll see if the RedShift drivers can be included going forward.

Once it's loaded, autocomplete and interactive tables and D3 charting of
results should work,
but there's a major limitation which is autotranslation from SQL to Python
or Groovy is not yet supported.

Full autotranslation is something we lost going from Beaker Notebook to
BeakerX and have not yet rebuilt.
Here's the issue for it: https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx/issues/5039

I would be happy to hear about your use case.

Thanks, -Scott
