I want to restore mysql rds snapshot with my custom parameter group. does any one know, how can I do this?
Recently fist I have to restore snapshot to new Instance, then edit/change it with security group and parameter group and then restart instance. this is very long and time taking process. on "Restore DB Instance" page, there is no option for "Security Group", "Parameter Group" and "Password".
One more options should be there for restoring snapshot on existing instance or specific database or specific table restore?
No, there is no way to restore a snapshot with custom security groups and custom parameter group. When you restore a snapshot, default security group and parameter groups are applied. Then you to modify the cluster to apply your customer security group and parameter group.
From Restoring From a DB Snapshot:
When you restore a DB instance, only the default DB parameter and security groups are applied. If you need to associate a custom DB parameter or security group to the DB instance, you must apply them explicitly using the RDS console's Modify command, the ModifyDBInstance API, or the rds-modify-db-instance command line tool, once the DB instance is available. The option group associated with the DB snapshot is associated with the restored DB instance once it is created.
So, this is 2 step procedure.

Can the Debezium MySQL connector be configured so messages it emits contain metadata that can be used to infer which MySQL user performed the change?
My use case is a CDC for a web application with a production and staging environment that use the same MySQL database. I'd like to separate events originating from staging to a separate set of topics, so they can be observed by staging environment consumers only (& vice versa).
I would also like to avoid requiring the application to explicitly store something on each changed row indicating which environment made the change; that would require schema changes on all tables Debezium is capturing, and couple the application logic to the CDC implementation. The application environments connect to the database with separate database users, so perhaps a connection ID could be used to infer the environment somehow?
My understanding is that MySQL binlog entries do not contain metadata about which user or connection a change was performed by, so I'm unsure how else I could tie changes to environments without explicit help from application logic.
I have 2x RDS single instances (MySQL) in the same region.
The goal is to copy (A) RDS to (B) RDS on nightly basis.
Is there any way to have this configuration auto sync between 2 RDS instances?
If your goal is to copy the contents of one Amazon RDS database such that another RDS database contains identical content, then it is easiest to use a snapshot:
Create an Amazon RDS Snapshot of the source database
Launch a new Amazon RDS database instance from the Snapshot
Delete the previous Amazon RDS database 'B' database, since it is now out-of-date
The new database launched from the Snapshot will be identical to the source database (except for the instance DNS name).
This operation can be done via AWS CLI commands.
I would suggest looking into DMS ongoing replication as it seems like a potential solution for your use case https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_BestPractices.html#CHAP_BestPractices.OnGoingReplication
There are three approaches here.
One is that if you want to "refresh" the database schema on nightly basis, you can use logical backup by using mysqldump/mydumper to export/import the schema and put the script in the scheduler (eg. cron).
The second one you can use is snapshot backup that is provided by AWS, but you need to destroy the previous RDS instances, otherwise you will have many restored RDS from daily snapshot. Ideally, you can create some script that call AWS CLI to remove the previous RDS and restore the snapshot from daily backup. Put the script in the scheduler as well as first option.
A third option is that you can create synchronization using Amazon DMS (Data Migration Service) to migrate the data in a real-time fashion.
I have a RDS Mysql database instance on AWS with 1000 tables (lets call it root instance).
I need to create another instance of this database with only the rows that match some foreign key id. This new instance must be in mirror with the root instance so I can query the new values as soon as they get inserted. Question: Is there any way to achieve this with AWS tools? Or do I need to code id?
As far as I know, I can create instances in a cluster to be mirrored with the root instance, but these instances are a full copy and I need only some rows.
Neither AWS nor MySQL provide a solution for what you describe.
You would have to develop your own solution. For example a CDC (change data capture) client (Debezium is a popular open-source CDC implementation) to parse the binary logs of your RDS instance, filter for the rows you want, and insert them to the other instance.
This isn't possible with RDS.
You can "fake it" by converting the tables you don't want replicated to Engine=Blackhole, however you have to edit your parameter-group and set "read-only" to 0, instead of the default "{TrueIfReplica}".
and to handle your case you can create a view that pulls only these records
Alternately, you would need to run your own slave server on EC2 with the RDS server as the master (this is possible if you're running MySQL 5.6 on RDS, but not 5.5 or below), however it's extremely complicated to set up.
Is it possible/advisable to create users that only have access to a RDS MySQL Read Replica and not to the main database server? I have a number of power users I'd like to grant access so they can run slow running queries, but don't want to give them access to the main production database itself. Trying to do this directly on the server, I get ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot execute this statement, so guessing I have to do it in the db parameter group or somewhere like that. Anyway, ideas?
You should not create a user only in the read replica.
It is vital for RDS to have an identical data set for both master and replica instance, so it is not possible to have a user only in the RR and not on the master (or at least inadvisable).
A reason, besides how works the replica in RDS, is that in case of a fail-over a replica can become a master and the roles will be changed
You can add or delete users in a read replica. This is possible by the usual way of CREATE USER . But this is not advisable as the read replica & master should be in sync always so if master goes-down read replica can be promoted as Master.
You can configure an Amazon RDS DB instance read replica to be read/write by setting the read_only parameter to false for the DB parameter group that you create for your DB instance(s).
You cannot modify the parameter settings of a default DB parameter group; you must create your own DB parameter group to change parameter settings from their default value.
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/rds-read-replica/
Use caution when doing this, and after you've created the users, put it back to read_only immediately. If you ever create a user on the master with the same username/host pair on the master, replication will likely stop because this creates a conflict.
Please can anyone help me to disable "innodb_doublewrite" for my MySQL database hosted at Amazon RDS. I need this as we need to quickly update around 15 Million rows.
I know there is a startup option for this:
--skip-innodb_doublewrite
But how to use it?
Apart from that, Amazon RDS Parameters Group does not show the option of "innodb_doublewrite" for editing. Amazon does not also allow direct editing of my.cnf file.
I can access the MySQL through my Linux Server. But don't know exactly how to use the startup option for Amazon RDS. Please can any one help me to disable this option?
AWS support confirmed the following as of August 2, 2015:
"innodb_doublewrite can't be modified in RDS MySQL instances"
RDS is a managed database service that provides some abstractions to managing a database directly on EC2 but in exchange you lose some flexibility including what options you are able to apply to your database instance.
All start up parameters that would normally be specified in my.cnf should instead be applied via the RDS Parameter Groups but, as you mention in your question, innodb_doublewrite is not one of the configurable parameters.
If the data you are updating is not likely to be updated during normal operation you could always attempt to make the update on a read slave (SET GLOBAL READ_ONLY=0 first) and then promote the read replica and point your application at this instance.
