A while ago, I shut down an RDS instance and took a snapshot. Now, a year later, I'd like to download that database. So I restored the snapshot by creating a new instance which is up and running. But I cannot figure out how to download the db.
I have tried connecting to the database via phpMyAdmin but it keeps refusing to connect (even though I have added the IP for phpmyadmin to the security group on amazon). Is there a way to download the database via command line? Something else has to be easier...
There is no other way but connecting to your instance and using any tool you might want to use to do the job - backup
This question was answered before.

Please provide me any solution how to get databse backup on gcp or how to repair this problem
I tried to take backups and transfer my website on another hosting but there is something wrong in database the backup stops
I recently set up an AWS RDS MySQL instance. I installed MySQL Workbench on my M1 Macbook, successfully connected with my credentials and started working away. The next day, I found that I was no longer connected to the database server, and upon trying to reconnect with the saved credentials - I found that I couldn't.
Unable to connect to localhost
I check the credentials about 8 times, I check the AWS Console to see if everythings okay (status is "Available"). I ended up having to delete my AWS RDS instance, uninstall workbench, and restart everything before it finally worked. I did some more work on this new database.
The next day, I found that the same thing had occurred - I was disconnected from the database server on MySQL workbench, and I could not reconnect.
Why does this keep happening? Please help, as I can't find anything about it on other stackoverflow threads.
I seem to have solved it! I just needed to add my IP address to the AWS RDS instance's "inbound rules", so that it allows traffic coming from me. That step was not described in the documentation here: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/connect-rds-mysql-workbench/.
I also noticed that you have the option to allow all traffic to your database, but I figured that would probably pose some kind of security risk so I didn't do it (but perhaps not, since you still need the credentials and endpoint to access it..?).
I have a MySQL database running on AWS RDS. I have a node.js server that queries the MySQL database. Everything is fine for most days but around once a week, my node server says "Unknown database."
I try to query the database with MySQL Workbench and receive the same message. I have checked my instance and it is running fine with the status being "available."
To fix the issue, I have to recreate the database which means I lose all my data.
Has anyone had issues with this? This is very frustrating since I have no idea what would cause this problem.
We‘re running MySQL RDS databases since AWS launch and never had such an issue. Are you sure the created database is really gone? Do you maybe have a job running at an interval that doesn’t work as intended? What do the RDS logs say?
To debug the issue you can
have a look at RDS server logs
enable query logging to table and analyze queries fired at the server
run a small instance which is not touched for the period to proof it’s not a RDS-related isssue
A few years later...lol. I had the same problem and realised you have to be connected to the same domain in AWS as your database. If you know the connection string of your database, find the domain it is in. Then in the top right hand side of the aws console you should see a drop down that shows the current domain you are logged into. My guess is the two are not the same. Change the value of the drop down and you should see your database.
I have a local Perl script that does a lot of parsing of web pages and then successfully updates my local MySQL database (WAMP server). I now want to send this local data to my remote server, but remotely connecting to my database isn't allowed with my hosting company. Unfortunately I never thought of that problem.
So, I now need to find an automated way to update my remote server (every 15mins). I mistakenly thought I could just edit my Perl script with the details of the remote server.
I am aware that I could use CGI or PHP to do the parsing on the server, but I really want to keep the parsing local for now.
Summary:
Local MySQL database -> remote MySQL database every 15mins ??
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks :-)
if replication is not an option but you can still establish an ssh connection from local box to remote box, then
run mysqldump to export data into a file http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html#option_mysqldump_where
scp file to remote box
mysql -u username -p password database_name < dumpfile.sql
If your server does not accept connections to mysql remotely you can create a ssh tunnel. Then you can apply the replication solution proposed by matcheek.
Here is a hint: http://realprogrammers.com/how_to/set_up_an_ssh_tunnel_with_putty.html
Based on the responses I've received, I think the answer to my original question is to stop using a cheap shared hosting company (no remote access to server, no cron jobs, etc) and start using a VPS hosting company. That will give me the freedom to remotely connect to my server, etc.
Thanks again to those who replied.
From how you described the problem replication seems to be the way to go
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/replication-howto.html
Using a cron job could be another option. It would read file from your local machine and import data in the remote box.
I suggest the follwing:
On every local run, write the SQL statements (sans SELECT),
that you run against your copy of the DB also into a file
On your WAMP server create a small PHP script, gives back the oldest script from the first step (soem auth ofcourse)
On your remote server run a cronjob, that gets this from your local server and runs the SQL against the DB, then acknowledges it
On acknowledgement on your WAMP server, drop the file and give back the next one.
While this seems complicated, it allows for a restart after connectivity loss - something that I consider imposrtant.
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.
