I created an AWS RDS MSSQL instance using Management Console but I cannot create a new database. Creating a table works fine though.
Did I miss anything in the configuration? Do I need to execute a special schema?
According to the documentation, you can create up to 30 databases per RDS instances.
http://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/#2
We would need more details to debug your particular issue. (Parameters used to create the RDS instance, exact error message etc )

I am working with a Sprint boot application hosted on AWS. Application data gets stored in AWS RDS. Now I have set up another AWS account where I would like to migrate the data from the RDS instance associated with the current AWS account.
In this regard, after going through several posts here, it seems, the steps to do the same are as follows:
1. Create a snapshot of the database in the RDS database instance associated with the current AWS account.
2. Share the snapshot with the new AWS account.
3. Import the data from this snapshot to the RDS instance associated with the new AWS account.
One problem with this approach is: I have to make the application unavailable to the end-users until all the steps are completed as well as the application with the database hosted in the new AWS account starts running, otherwise there will be always some delta remaining to be migrated.
But, I would like to migrate the data from an existing instance to the new instance without making the application unavailable to end-users, I did not find any suitable approach to achieve the same.
Could anyone please help here? Thanks.
create a read replica
stop slave in read replica using stop MySQL.rds_stop_replication
capture mysql_binary_log_file_name,mysql_binary_log_file_location
stop instance
take snapshot
restore in another AWS account
create replication user name in master
run below command in newly created RDS with required values
CALL mysql.rds_set_external_master (
host_name
, host_port
, replication_user_name
, replication_user_password
, mysql_binary_log_file_name
, mysql_binary_log_file_location
);
move connection and plan cut over properly
Good article on how to setup cross-account replication:
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/rds-mysql-cross-region-replica/
Another way is using AWS Database Migration Services (AWS DMS).
You can create a migration task, and set the original database as the source endpoint, and the new database as a destination endpoint.
Next create a task with "Full load, ongoing replication" settings.
Some caveats: make sure to enable replication on the source database and it uses RAW bin log format for MySQL/MariaDB. More details here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Source.MySQL.html
It also damaged the destination tables structure in my case.
We need to replicate data from an Amazon RDS (MySQL) databaes to an Aurora PostgreSQL database. Each database is on a different AWS account and region.
The data must be replicated in the PostgreSQL instance every 6 hours, so we need the guarantee that the data doesn't duplicate even if a field updated for a record.
Which method, tool, or design is better to do that? (Could be different to AWS.)
You could facilitate one of the following services provided by AWS:
Database Migration Service
Glue
The AWS Database Migration Service supports:
Using an Amazon-Managed MySQL-Compatible Database as a Source for AWS DMS
Using a PostgreSQL Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service
I am quiet new to AWS and trying to learn things. I currently have a live production environment and trying to create a test environment. I was able to create an image of an ec2 instance in AWS using the 'Create Image' option in the 'Actions'. Now I am trying to create an image/ duplicate of the RDS Database in AWS in a similar way. Is there any easy way to clone the database so that I don't change any data in the original database and perform modifications only in the test database. Thanks for all your help.
Probably worth reading up on creating snapshots and restoring from a snapshot.
To give you a quick summary; you will take a snapshot of your production RDS DB instance. Then you will launch a new DB instance from this snapshot.
As long as you don't need to launch the new instance in a separate AWS Account, the documentation should tell you all you need to know.
I am trying to use AWS DMS to move data from a source database ( AWS RDS MySQL ) in the Paris region ( eu-west-3 ) to a target database ( AWS Redshift ) in the Ireland region ( eu-west-1 ). The goal is to continuously replicate ongoing changes.
I am running into these kind of errors :
An error occurred (InvalidResourceStateFault) when calling the CreateEndpoint operation: The redshift cluster datawarehouse needs to be in the same region as the current region. The cluster's region is eu-west-1 and the current region is eu-west-3.
The documentation says :
The only requirement to use AWS DMS is that one of your endpoints must
be on an AWS service.
So what I am trying to do should be possible. In practice, it's seems it's not allowed.
How to use AWS DMS from a region to an other ?
In what region, should my endpoints be ?
In what region, should my replication task be ?
My replication instance has to be on the same region than the RDS MySQL instance because they need to share a subnet
AWS provides this whitepaper called "Migrating AWS Resources to a New AWS Region", updated last year. You may want to contact their support, but an idea would be to move your RDS to another RDS in the proper region, before migrating to Redshift. In the whitepaper, they provide an alternative way to migrate RDS (without DMS, if you don't want to use it for some reason):
Stop all transactions or take a snapshot (however, changes after this point in time are lost and might need to be reapplied to the
target Amazon RDS DB instance).
Using a temporary EC2 instance, dump all data from Amazon RDS to a file:
For MySQL, make use of the mysqldump tool. You might want to
compress this dump (see bzip or gzip).
For MS SQL, use the bcp
utility to export data from the Amazon RDS SQL DB instance into files.
You can use the SQL Server Generate and Publish Scripts Wizard to
create scripts for an entire database or for just selected objects.36
Note: Amazon RDS does not support Microsoft SQL Server backup file
restores.
For Oracle, use the Oracle Export/Import utility or the
Data Pump feature (see
http://aws.amazon.com/articles/AmazonRDS/4173109646282306).
For
PostgreSQL, you can use the pg_dump command to export data.
Copy this data to an instance in the target region using standard tools such as CP, FTP, or Rsync.
Start a new Amazon RDS DB instance in the target region, using the new Amazon RDS security group.
Import the saved data.
Verify that the database is active and your data is present.
Delete the old Amazon RDS DB instance in the source region
I found a work around that I am currently testing.
I declare "Postgres" as the engine type for the Redshift cluster. It tricks AWS DMS into thinking it's an external database and AWS DMS no longer checks for regions.
I think it will result in degraded performance, because DMS will probably feed data to Redshift using INSERTs instead of the COPY command.
Currently Redshift has to be in the same region as the replication instance.
The Amazon Redshift cluster must be in the same AWS account and the
same AWS Region as the replication instance.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Target.Redshift.html
So one should create the replication instance in the Redshift region inside a VPC
Then use VPC peering to enable the replication instance to connect to the VPC of the MySQL instance in the other region

I want to create different databases in single Amazon RDS instance.
I know it's possible manually to create a RDS DB instance with one database from CloudFormation and connect from some tool (eg SQL Workbench) and then create a new Database.
But I want to create through CloudFormation multiple databases under one DB instance.
AWS CloudFormation can create a stack of resources from a template that describes those resources.
This includes Amazon RDS database instances.
However, CloudFormation cannot create the logical databases within an RDS instance because this requires commands to actually be run on the DB instance itself.
CloudFormation merely calls the AWS APIs that create the database instance -- operations within the database are outside the scope of AWS APIs and are dependent upon the specific database.
Once CloudFormation has created the DB instance, you would need to connect to the database, authenticate and then run appropriate CREATE DATABASE commands.
