I am using AWS Amazon Web Service RDS for database. I have set up a database instance but how should I add the tables in that database instance or create any new tables in the database? Any idea how to add table?
Which RDS are you using? I have been using RDS for MySQL for a long time. I create an RDS instance of MySQL and then connect to it from my laptop where I have install MySQL client program. Once I am connected, I can run all the MySQL commands just as if I ma connected to a remote database. I can create DB, Tables...blah blah..
You should provide information on the RDS instance that you are using and how your connecting to it.
Is your database in private or public subnet? That matters as it will affect how we can connect to it. If your RDS database is in a private subnet, then you cannot directly connect to it with a SQL client like MySQL Workbench from your PC.
I would advise you to put the database in private subnet for security concerns.
Now let's assume your database is in private subnet. What you can do is to rent a very cheap EC2 instance as a bastion instance in a public subnet. You can use SSH over TCP/IP or SSH tunneling to connect to this RDS instance even from outside your VPC as mentioned here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM7JvNMOUQM.
Here is a blog that has some details of how to do it. https://bobbyhadz.com/blog/aws-cdk-rds-example
You can create a lambda function in the VPC, use an ORM to create migrations and call the function from the command line using aws command line tool.
If you manage to ssh to your EC2 instance you can connect to your database using MySQL command line tool.
mysql -h [DatabaseConncetivityEndpoint] -u [usernameOfDatabaseInstance] - p [password]
Make sure that you have installed MySQL client using > mysql -v. If not you can install MySQL client inside EC2 instance:
> yum update
> yum install mysql
Then, you can flow the normal MySQL operation on the database.

I have tried connecting through Sagemaker notebook to RDS. However, to connect to RDS, my public IP needs to be allowed for security reasons. I can see when I run this command: "curl ifconfig.me" on Sagemaker Notebook instance that public IP keeps changing from time to time.
What is the correct way to connect to RDS with notebook on sagemaker? Do I need to crawl the RDS with AWS Glue and then use Athena on crawled tables and then take the query results from S3 with Sagemaker notebook?
RDS is just a managed database running on an EC2 instance. You can connect to that database in a very same way as you would connect from an application. For example, you can use a python based DB client library (depending on what DB flavor you're using, e.g. Postgres) and configure with the connection string, as you would connect any other application to your RDS instance.
I would not recommend to connect to the RDS instance through the public interface. You can place your Notebook instance to the same VPC where your RDS instance is, thus you can talk to RDS directly through the VPC.
Yesterday AWS launched Aurora serverless for PostgreSQL, but it doesn't seem to have the same configuration options as other RDS databases, I can't set it to public facing for example, it forces me to have a VPC.
Now, I have no clue how to apply these VPC things to PgAdmin, I've tried setting the inbound for the security group to all ports and ips but it still won't connect (no server response).
How can I connect to a RDS Database inside a VPC using PgAdmin?
Opening the security group didn't work.
I realize this question is old, but I kept coming back to it as I worked this out.
This solution is similar to #genkilabs solution but simpler.
Steps:
Spin up an ec2 micro instance in the same vpc as the database. You will tunnel through this.
Add the security group for your ec2 to the inbound rules of the database's security group.
ssh into the ec2 instance and install psql (and postgress...) with:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install postgresql10
Verify that you can connect to your database with psql:
psql -h {server} -p 5432 -U {database username} -d {database name} -p
In PGAdmin create a new server connection
Enter the database host, username, and password as usual.
Go to the SSH Tunnel tab
turn on ssh tunneling
enter your ec2 hostname for the tunnel host
enter your ssh username
select the identity file and find the .pem or .cer file for your ec2 instance.
Save and done. You should now be able to connect to the serverless Aurora database from your local PGAdmin.
If you have trouble connecting to the database form the ec2, this guide may be helpful. The same steps apply connecting from ec2 as from cloud9.
EDIT Sept '22: With Serverless V2 you can now select "public access" during the initial create, and connect directly (provided your VPC and security groups allow it). However, it is still recommended for production / "enterprise" use to still connect only though a "bastion" or "jump-box".
Officially, you can't...
Per the docs:
You can't give an Aurora Serverless DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless DB cluster only from within a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service.
However, connecting to a serverless DB from a non-Amazon product is just officially discouraged, it is not impossible.
The best solution I have found so far is to create an autoscaling cluster of bastion boxes within the same VPC. Then use them to tunnel through. The great part about this strategy is that it exposes a standard postgre format URL, so it can be used with pgAdmin, Navicat, ActiveRecord or any other ORM that uses typical connection urls.
...The bad part is that (so far) it seems to enforce a 30 sec timeout on connections. So you better get all your transactions wrapped up quick like.
If anyone can do better, I'd love to hear how as well.
Not a duplicate of AWS Aurora MySQL serverless: how to connect from MySQL Workbench.
Aurora Serverless doesn't support public connections yet.
I used Cloud9 to create an EC2 instance on the same VPN as the database. I then connected to the database from the Cloud9 terminal.
My (GraphQL Prisma) service that I'm attempting to host (on Zeit Now) only takes a HOST and a PASSWORD for configuration.
How can I make the EC2 instance act as a proxy that I can treat exactly as a database endpoint. Can tunneling fully do that and I'm just bad at it?
I think this blog may help you. The idea, is make a forwarding port from ec2-dns:3306 to aurora-serverless-cluster-dns:3306
I created EC2 instance and security group for the RDS ( its type: PostgreSQL and source: launch-wizard-1 (EC2 has) ). And also I created the RDS instance.
Then, Is there any way how could I check if EC2 connected with RDS correctly?
The EC2 instance has no any data, it is just created.
There are two ways to try and connect to your RDS for testing:
Install db client on the ec2 instance and check connectivity.This link will help you :
https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Setting-up-PostgreSQL
You can also connect from your localhost to the rds endpoint using putty and ssh tunneling.
Once connected you can use your local db client like dbeaver for connecting.
install a psql client on the ec2 and connect
for instance
yum install postgres
echo '\dS' |psql -h postgres-db.ca9yqwjklxox.eu-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com
and it should give a list of tables or an error message
I've set up an EC2 instance with LAMP stack. I'm in remote system explorer in eclipse right now, trying to find the file location of my database. Where does Amazon store the MySQL/database file?
Instead of using mysql in EC2 instance, you can use Amazon RDS instance for mysql. It is more easy to access the database.
If you want mysql in EC2 itself, you can access through port 3306.
eg: jdbc:mysql//ec2-xx-xx-xx.compute.awsamazon.com:3306/dbname
