I am trying to setup RDS on my AWS account. I created the RDS instance, But I am not able to access the database interface. I am trying to access it using putty, But it is saying - "Command not found".
Please clarify whether I am missing something.
Thanks
You didn't mention the RDS Database engine you are using, but here are some general tips.
Use a local database client (such as mysql workbench for mysql)
Make sure your RDS security group allows your local ip address to access the RDS instance on the correct port.
If you give more information about your setup we'll be able to help you more.

I want to do the test hahaha, that I have to access their database. I already install my sql web community installer and I did it.
I can connect to my own username and pass, but when I want to access database in AWS Cloud, it became like this
i's been a long time I didnt manage to work with sql. I just do the queries, I never do this at the start.
Thank you so much if anyone want to help
Two things you need to make this happen.
Make sure you have configured your RDS instance to allow public access.
Make sure you have properly setup the inbound rules to let the IP of your development machine access your RDS instance. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Overview.RDSSecurityGroups.html.
Once you do these, you can connect as shown here:
I cannot reach my MySQL Database instance I created on AWS.
What I tried was to set the public access of the Database to "Publicly accessible" here:
Also I tried to set Inbound/Outbound rules for the MySQL port here:
Honestly I think using "All" ports would include 3306 too. Anyways, I tried it this way because yet it didn't work. I cannot connect to the database via MySQL Workbench, nor can I use a ping request on the given endpoint.
I would be glad if someone here has an idea what I could try else.
This will not work if you have deployed it in a private subnet which has no internet access.
Another possibility is that there is ACLs that is stopping the traffic. Security group only touch the RDS instance, the ACLs control traffic in the entire subnet.
Here is a dev AWS tutorial that creates a web application that stores data in MySQL running on the cloud. It will show you how to setup the database and the inbound rules. Once you do, you can store data or query data from MySQL. Likewise, you can use MySQL Workbench to interact with MySQL on the cloud.
AWS RDS Tutorial
I'm not used to AWS and how some services actually work but in this exact moment I need to add some users to a MySQL database (RDS service) and allow some IPs to access it, and if someone can help me I really appreciate.
I did some research and found that I can connect to the EC2 instance and access the CLI and that would be enough, but I can't find any running instance in any region.
Thanks for your time.
Connect to your RDS instance as the root user, and add an account just like you would with a MySQL database running anywhere else. There is no special AWS procedure here.
If the database has the "publicly accessible" flag enabled, then you just need to add the IP address to the inbound rules in the Security Group assigned to the RDS instance. If the database is not "publicly accessible" then you won't be able to give access to external IP addresses.
I have an IAM Role, myRole, for my project. I have an RDS server with a MySQL instance on it. The MySQL instance requires a username and password, however I don't want to pass these in as plaintext via command line, nor store them somewhere for retrieval later.
What I would like to do is somehow use the IAM Role as authentication in order to be able to perform backups, etc.
Is this possible?
It is now possible for MySQL or Amazon Aurora:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.IAMDBAuth.html
This isn't possible. IAM is for AWS resources. As related to RDS you would use IAM to give someone permission to create or modify an RDS server. The MySQL database engine doesn't know that it is running on AWS and doesn't know anything about IAM roles, so it can't use that for user authentication. You have to stick with username/passwords for authentication to the database.
Update 12/13/2017: You can now use IAM authentication for RDS MySQL and Aurora.
See this gist with code example and notes on authenticating MySQL via PHP to Amazon Aurora using IAM:

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.
