What tool can I use to run sql profile against a AWS Aurora or AWS Mysql database? Seems like a simple task that I have done many times against local mysql sql db or ms sql server, but for the life of me I cannot get to work. Is this something that can be done? I have been trying to use Neor Profile without success. However, I'm able to use Neor Profile successfully on my local mysql db.
Because Neor Profile basically serves as a proxy, you have to use port 4040 in your application and then Neor connects to AWS via port 3306. I can successfully get Neor Profile 'profiling' against the AWS db but when I run my local application or mysql workbench, via port 4040, it doesn't connect, with a general connection error.
My question, which I can't find by searching the Internet or help files is...Can you perform a sql profile against a AWS Aurora or AWS Mysql database?

Goal
I am trying to use MongoDB's BI Connector for Tableau, aka mongosqld. I have version 2.10, so here are the docs.
My long-term goal is to host mongosqld as a service on an AWS EC2 instance, and host MongoDB on AWS DocumentDB.
Background
A successful set of baby steps was:
Host MongoDB in a Docker container on my local machine via mongo image
Manually run mongosqld on my local machine, without a schema
Connect to it via mysql from my local machine
This works fine, I could see all of the databases via show databases;
My next set of steps was:
Host MongoDB in AWS DocumentDB
Host mongosqld on my EC2 instance at address 0.0.0.0:3307, without a schema
Enable TCP comms on port 3307 and 27017
Connect to it via mysql from my local machine
When I use mysql shell's show databases; command, I cannot see my databases, only information_schema and mysql.
Question
Given all of this information, does anyone here know what might have gone wrong? I am currently at a loss for what to try next.
Is it possible to use AWS' RDS MySQL solution in tandem with my current file server host? By that, I mean, can I connect to the RDS MySQL server as I am with my hosts current database?
I've tried the AWS documentation but it seems a bit flaky in this area.
Thank you,
Amazon RDS is a database server, just like any other. If you start up an RDS MySQL server, you can connect to it from anything else that can connect to a MySQL server.
The difference is that you do not have direct host access to the RDS server. Meaning, you cannot SSH into it and get a command prompt.
But you can connect to it from any MySQL client, including MySQL Workbench.
I am trying to use a mysql database in my play 1.2.4 application hosted in Amazon EC2 .
For that, I configured application.conf file with the following snippet in my local environment.
db=mysql:root:password#databasename
and this works fine.
Same mysql server have been configured in my EC2 instance with same Database created .
What should be the configuration to use that DB in EC2 . After several trial and error methods , I am not able to make my Play application talk with the database .
Thanks in advance .
I would diagnose this problem with the following tests:
Can you reach your mysql server from the same machine you are running your application from?
When trying this, make sure that you use the same user and password as in your application.
Have a look at the mysql users table and check if the user is allowed to connect.
Is the mysql daemon bound to localhost or do you have to use the IP or external DNS name of the machine?
Try checking your firewall rules that the port for mysql is open from your application machine
Also check the EC2 Security group that the mysql port is open from your application machine.
i have 3 servers for three applications on aws ec2 using MySql database,
now each of the application is having amember that is client subscription app,
it connects with sql databse that is created in each instance
so in this way every amamber app is having diffrent database in each server,
now we are working with a device ROKU we need to pass the XML attributes from amember to it
to varify the user so he can watch online streaming tv.
the objective
now i need to make one database that will be connected with each server using amember
so each server access one database .
Options
my options are aws RDS ,dynamoDb
Now can anyone put me in the right direction, for that.
in simple Words
need to connect my multiple apps (same app) with one database
HELLLLP
If you need to connect to a mysql database, DynamoDB is not the answer. It isn't a mysql database.
RDS is a mysql database. It connects like any other mysql database. You haven't mentioned what language[s] you are using, however. Googling "connect to mysql with [language]" should help.
I think it would be best to stick with relational databases such as MySQL.
Amazon RDS is a managed MySQL solution, but you don't have to use it for your needs.
You can use one of your EC2 instances or a new EC2 instance as the central DB and connect all the other servers to it for quires. There are pros and cons for choosing RDS over your own SQL server. If you have any questions there, feel free to edit your question and add them.
EDIT according to comment
In order to connect your application with the local MySQL. Your are probably using a connection string that points to either "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"... That is the IP of your local machine. You will have to change it to the remote IP of the machine where the DB is stored remotely.
Running our app on Amazon RDS. How does one review / inspect data in the database? For example, how can I get a list of articles?
My app is running on Ruby on Rails and on Heroku. One method I thought of, is by running the Heroku console command.
Is there a better way to see what data is stored in the RDS database?
I use MySQL Workbench to view data, run queries, and so on. It connects right up to the Amazon RDS MySQL instance using the regular MySQL settings.
Updated:
Be sure to add the ip address of the computer for which you're connecting to the RDS instance to the access list in RDS. IIRC, by default RDS instances will only accept connections from within AWS.
I was using SequelPro but they don't support ssl. Amazon RDS says something to the effect of having to use SSH to connect your EC2 to your RDS.
This is essentially what was done in the following tutorial which uses MySQL Workbench: http://thoughtsandideas.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/monitoring-and-managing-amazon-rds-databases-using-mysql-workbench/
I had also been using SequelPro before but this tutorial is very clear and I was up and running on MySQL Workbench in just a few minutes.
